>Not many ppl comment on it imho because, like FlaskMPEG, it's simply not the best proggie to use - they've gone past their use by data. The only reason why some people use it still is because of it's simplicity. Personally I think those types of people should open their minds a bit more - how hard can it be to read a guide on Gknot for instance? Sure some people have problems at first, but this is a community for helping each other. We were all 'newbies' at one stage.


It's pretty hard when the thing ya've gotten is working OK. Why learn yet another tool when you don't have to? A ripper is just a ripper, as long as it rips and the ripped stuff worked with the encoder OK, then it's fine.

Comparing Flask--Gordie to a ripper isn't quite right, as Flask output is shite, and a decrypted VOB is the same by any ripper. But even then, Flask is only bad when compared to a better encoder. I mean, if all yer cranking out is Flask stuff, then ya never know the difference, right? Its like running a fast computer then going back to the old puter. You only think the old one is slow because your expectation has changed. The computer hasn't.

Speaking of Gordie, Doom9 has put out a Xvid guide fer the blokes, and guess what.. it requires Gordie. Thanks fer Doom9 bloke to put in the time, but I like things simple, w/o all the riff-raff "front-end" for noobs and boobs. I figured Nandub out just foine, and when I get around to it I think I'll figure Xvid w/o the front end stuff.
