My intial plan when I got into converting was to convert DVDs to .mpg files to produce VCDs. Unfortunately, that plan fell through as I've never successfully produced a working disc. So I pretty much quit that. I was, however, satisfied with being able to produce decent quality .avi files (it'll be cool to do again when I get another PSP ;) ).
But now I have a delimma. I really can't create a successful avi file anymore either. The order I normally worked was: ripping the DVD, producing an avi file with DVD2AVI, and then taking that AVI to VirtualDub and reworking from there. But about 4 months ago DVD2AVI started going bonkers on me. Like I said before I use to capture what I wanted and saved that as an AVI file from there, but soon it got to the point where it would act like it was producing a file, but when it finishes and I go to check on them, I see that the properties say that the file size is 0 kb. I tried a couple more times and finally quit entirely.
Out of boredom I tried to see if I could works some magic (or hope that a miracle occured) and tried again to convert mpeg2 files to AVI. Still, I had no luck. So I decided to see if my programs were out of date. I figured that was the reason they stopped working I guess. I've found updates for DVD2AVI, VirtualDub and I still haven't gotten the things to work (that and there were some major tweaks I did not like :sly: ). At this point I'm really annoyed with the entire process, but I still really want to do it.
Can anyone spare some suggestions for this Semi-newb? Thanks in advance...
