right i have dvd decripter and it selects the vob files of the film then i use dvd2avi to conver them to avi then i use tmpeg to convert them again before i burn them the only problem is that on 9 out of ten films when converting to mpeg it says illegal floating somthing at decimal point or something does anyone know what i am doing wrong, when the decriper choses the vob files of the movie do i just read them to my hard drive or do i need as patch for sertain regions or films ???? anyone help with this one i have done the gladiator and hotel paradiso but can not do tombraider or rush hour two help help help
ps if i need a patch for these films where would i get them

if you want a mpg movie you don't need to convert to avi first.just convert your sound to wav then load the d2v file that dvd2avi gave you into the video part of tmpg and the wav into the audio part.

if you try to convert a avi that has the audio in it then tmpg can run into problems.it is best to do you audio seperatly.

when i have th e vob on my hard drive do i still use dvd2avi to convert the movie file if so how do i get the audio out of the vob file

[Kb_cruncher]

just use dvd2avi to extract the audio from your vob files to wav.

heres how:

1.Audio>track number - make sure track1 is ticked
2.Audio>DolbyDigital - make sure "decode"is ticked
3.Audio>48->44.1khz - make sure"non"is ticked
4.File>Save Project

Note:if your movie is PAL make sure "forcefilm"is not ticked in Video menu.if your movie is NTSC make sure it is ticked.

after you should hsve a wav file and a d2v file.
load the d2v file into tmpg "video source"box
load the wav file into tmpg "audio source"box.

make sure to laod the appropriate template for the kind of mpg you want(eg.VCD,SVCD ect).
