just taking a guess, go to the directory where dvd2avi is and run it once manually. I think I remember it has to set up a register entry. Then try a restart from d2s. My memory could be way off on this, but it will only take a few seconds to try.

After that, if it does not work, verify if the vfapi.avi was actually created. If so try to maunally play it in mediaplayer and let us know if you see a picture.
