I wish they would come out with a more advanced FairUse. I've been trying to rip a 2 hour movie (1290mb total) to my 10 gig hard drive.
First, as only a suggestion since this post isn't intended to flame the programmers of fairuse, it would be nice if the program calculated the total available space and then calculated what the final output space will be. I only ask for this because the sound and other features boosts up the required avail. space tremendously. I've been trying to rip this movie for a week now. I've had success ripping other movies, but they were shorter by like an hour. I've bought a 120gig hard drive, however my crap box P2 is so old that it doesn't recognize it and I've been having problems hooking it up. (Don't even bother devoting time to this post suggesting ways for me to hook it up, I've spent about 12 hours learning about bios' and spent time on tech support)
Second, it would be great if fairuse could continue encoding/ripping from where it stopped at. I got 66% done and had to frickin reboot. 66% took me about 20hours to do. Now the file is worthless since it can't continue from where I stopped at and I have to give it another shot for the 3rd time. (1st time I ran out of damn space)
Last, and I'm sure everyone would like to see this, I hope DivX 4 will be implemented in the next release.
Sound encoding is easy with the lame, acid, and nandub tools. I wouldn't worry so much about that as I would the 3 things I mentioned.
