Believe it or not, my premier ripping machine: PIII 500 w/ 64mb RAM, 10 Gig HD, and Win98
has less problems then my P4 1.5ghz 512mb RDRAM, 40gig, WinXP Pro (legit)
I used to use only flaskMPEG, then I found XMPEG which is so much nicer, its not showing up correctly (like the fonts aren't the right size) but I can see enough of what I need to. No matter what codec I use (preferably divx 4) if I choose anything other then PCM audio... or AC3 audio (which doesn't play), being 1 file, or separate (tried it many different ways) it crashes at frame 2. It does the whole "program ended, send info to m$" and kicks me out. I did the export to wav, and hoped to simply encode the video, no audio.
Now FlaskMPEG is decoding into PCM audio which I'll just throw out or use if it's ok... but I have the wav just in case... was also hoping to maybe rip to MPEG using the BBMPEG plugin... but that also I've yet to try.
I wondered if anyone else ran into these problems... or if I'm just not configuring these things right. I've tried multiple MP3 codecs, thinking it was one of those that was crashing it... but does it with any/all.
Also I was wondering if it makes a difference which machine you're ripping from vs encoding with. I rip from the PIII 500 (my roommate's so I can only use it when they're not there) w/ dvd decrypter to VOB, then just read those over the network to encode on my P4.
