Has anyone had any experience using GKNOT to rip MPEG2 video to MPEG4? I have a bunch of Star Trek episodes recorded to to my hard drive, and I can rip them with GKNOT, however the end result is unplayable. I see that my Bits/Pixels are within the normal parameters (.202), but on the compressibility test, it is WAY out of whack (meaning about 3000+%). The software that I am using to capture the show with is PowerVCR Deluxe, if that makes any difference. Or, if anyone know of an MPEG4 plug-in for PowerVCR, that would be very cool! Thanks in advance.:mad:

Forgot to mention that I am using a PCPVR video capture card being fed by a digital cable box.

buddy of mine also had this problem and only by useing Vidomi he was able to get decent results out of his captured mpeg2 files,...

Ps.: Personally I don't like vidomi but it does the job for my buddy so maybe it's worth a try,....
