Hi,
I got the following problem:

I have a trailer dvd. this means all trailers are encoded as one film. you can only jump to them through the menu. i ripped it with smartripper and the filmlength was 1h 30 mins. The thing is, I can not convert it with synchron audio. I tried xvid (with vdub), mpeg2 with dvd2svcd and directvobcutting. e.g. chopperxp shows only the first trailer (the first 50 seconds). so do you have any suggestions?

thx for answering

i've had this problem once with a dvd full of music clips... afaik the only solution is to rip the chapters (or PGCs - depends on how the different trailers are organized) seperately and encode them as small files and then merge them or leave them as seperate files... of course this will pose some size predictabiltiy problems but yes i guess that's life!
