Hello everyone.
First I want to thank you all who have been posting solutions here in this forum. So far I have been able to find solutions for all of my problems, so thank you very much.
Now I came across some problems that I can't solve, and need some help, so anyone who can give me an answer I will be gratefull.
(I am new here so I am not sure Iif i posted it in the right place. Sorry if that's the case)

I have an old computer, laptop Pentium 133, 64mbs RAM. I use it in my room to watch movies, and that's just perfect, I just need to convert them to VCD (mpeg1, I dont burn them into a cd, just play them from my pen drive).

It's ok when I am converting AVI to MPG1. It works fine. I use Avisynth scripts to edit the video if necessary (mostly to put subs on it) and then I use TMPGENC to convert it.

Problem is when I want to convert RMVB or MP4 to mpeg1...
First, I can't get MP4 into Avisynth. It just doesnt load the video, gets an error message. RMVB loads just perfect.
Second, when I try to use other software I get these results:

Oxelon Media Converter: The mpeg file presents itself as having a bitrate of 100mbs or something like that. My old computer can't play it. I have cheked and the bit rate is correct, I set it to 600kbs video and 128kbs audio... But the result is always this 100mbs bitrate...

Media coder: Doesn't even work, just says that no file is output. I don't understand why, it used to work just fine!

When I use Avisynth to load RMVB into TMPGENC, the file is ALWAYS out of synch. The audio never is right with the video. I have tried with several diferent fps and it never works.

I am running out of ideas.
I have also thought about using VirtualDub to encode into an old version of WMV. But I can't, the only option I see is Windows Media 9. I don't have the older versions available.
In media coder and Oxelon Media Converter I can make those into wmv1 and 2, but then the files is not playable in WMP6.4 (even after I installed microsoft package that was supposed to update wmp6.4 codecs)

Am I missing something important??
Please, help me.
Thanks in advance. =)

Why don't you convert the movies from your original DVDs?

I hope you are aware of our forum rules regarding downloaded files, etc.

Because when I say "movie" I refer to any video.
Tutorials from Youtube that I download in High quality (MP4) and such.
I am not talking about pirate copies or anything.

So... as long as no one says where he got the video, it's ok? lol
Ok, I understand and respect that. I will be honest and say that I never thought your policy to be so strict and didn't actually read the guide. I was ok with my files, so, I never thought it would be a problem. I am sorry about that.
How can I place my question then, in order to be acceptable and get the help that I need? Because from what I see you provide help not only in coverting DVD to AVI but also other stuff... Avisynth and all...
Thanks and sorry, I didn't really mean any trouble.

We cannot help you with such material! You cannot pretend it is something that it isn't or try to hide things.

What is so hard to understand about that?!

ooooook, so, what is this forum supposed to be?
A place where you teach people how to rip an original dvd? over and over again?
There is so much to be explored on video edit and you stick with such a strict policy??? Oh well, ok then, I see this is not the place to learn anything abut other files than AVI and DVD. Isn't that right? In the end, that's all that you do!
Thanks again, sorry to bother you.
Goodbye.
