OK. I know a .d2v file is generated by DVD2AVI (or SR2.41) but what exactly does it contain. I notice it can be read with a text file but I am just wondering what it all means?

Just trying to learn!

It contains information about the size of the picture & other information about the options that can be passed to plugins (i.e. what iDCT to use, where the MPEG files are, etc)

Then you have a long list of numbers...
each number (normally '2') defines every frame....

Every line (containing the '2''s) is a GOP (group-of-pictures)
(normally about 15 (??) frames for each GOP)

Im saying this all from memory & only a basic understanding, but thats about right....I think :)
