Have you looked at the new features DVD2SVCD has been working on?
I definitely feels this warrants a donation (free agency of course) but gee whiz could you ask for much more?
Disclaimer: I didn't post this to put pressure on a release date. It'll be released when it's released. I just wanted to point out that by donating you obviously help the 'motivational' factor and increase DVD2SVCD's brain power and psychological energy levels.
I'm gonna donate a second time for sure...these features are too good to be true. Batch encoding multiple DVDs over a weekend..freakin awesome. Preview DVD, new folder when ripping, etc. Awesome stuff. When it's released I know for a fact I'll reach an orgasmic state!
only reason I cut and pasted them from here (http://212.88.77.140/Readme.txt) is cuz in IE it doesn't wrap the text
xx mar. 2002 version 1.0.8 build 1 (Not released)
- Enhancement: Extended the interaction with IMDB, many more data can now be extracted from that great homepage
- Enhancement: It is now possible to encode using the 16:9 tag in the video encoder
- New feature: Preview of the dvd you are about to rip, where you can tryout the different resize methods, deinterlacing, subpicture positions and other stuff.
- New feature: You can select just to rip a dvd, and encode it at a later time.
- Enhancement: In the dvd rip tab you can select if you want dvd2svcd to create a new folder when a new rip starts.
- Enhancement: DVD2SVCD should now be able to determine Top Field First or Bottom Field First
- Enhancement: Extended the settings of both CCE and TMPGEnc
- Bug Fix: Sometimes the subtitle streams would contain garbage (like very small substitles), they will now be discarded.
- Bug fix: Once again I have fixed a bug in the bitrate calculation causing dvd2svcd to either cutting the last seconds of a movie of making a small last mpg file.
- Enhancement: If you select "No Images" in the CD Image tab, you can in the Audio tab select "Do not convert audio", and thereby use the extracted AC3 file directly in the final result. BUT BEWARE, your standalone player will probably not support this. The reason that this feature only is enabled when "No Images" is selected is because neither VCDXBuilder or I-Author supports AC3 audio streams.
- Spooky: If you add this "Spooky Settings=1" in the DVD2SVCD.INI file you will get some additional features with which you might be able to make DVD streams. But if you enable this, you're on your own, I will not answer questions on what, why and how to use it.
- Enhancement: If you use "Rip Only" DVD2SVCD will make a batch file in the same folder as DVD2SVCD. In this batch file DVD2SVCD adds a line each time you Rip a dvd. If for instance you have 3 dvd's to rip, you just rip those 3 dvd's into their own folder, and when done you run the batch file. DVD2SVCD will then convert the 3 dvd's without interaction from you. Needless to say, you will need a LOT OF SPACE in your target drive. Besides, it is your own responsability to edit the Batch file (deleting entries which has been done and so on)
- Enhancement: All versions of TMPGEnc should now be supported (including beta 12)
