Welcome!

We want you to have a great experience here on the Doom9 DVD2SVCD forums and would like to offer some advice on how to earn respect from other group members. First one is Experienced people always read the Q&As. Why? Because it saves them valuble time. Experienced people know to ask a question in a forum that is covered in a Q&A brands the poster as a amateur. Once you get that brand hung on you, it is harder to get the answers you need because people will not take you seriously. So take the extra few minutes required now and read these links:

Please read this very quick note on the new forum structure:

And this excellent post by Gerti: How to make a post

If you will follow our advice and read this stuff you will show yourself to be somebody who knows what they are doing. You will be respected and you will have set a good example for some of the truly lazy and inconsiderate newbies who could never be bothered to actually read FAQs. Don't hold it against them too much as they are probably just inexperienced kids. Try to set a positive example and have a great time here. Thanks for coming!

BTW, if you see somebody making a post who has obviously not read the Q&A or FAQs don't be mean spirited. Instead, just put a link to this post. I would encourage people to do this INSTEAD of answering as that just encourages poor behavior. After a while newer folks will get the point without the need to flame and no feelings will be hurt.

We would really like this forum to be a gentle one. We were all newbies at one time. However, that being said, there is just too high a volume of posts that are not needed asking the same old questions.

A lot of work went into the FAQs and Q&A by many people who are really trying to help to provide answers to common questions. Let's all work together to make these references better. If you see a Q&A that you think needs to be added just post a reply to the Q&A with your suggestion, or better yet, post a properly formatted Q&A.
