What program is best

[Toddster]

Im using flask 3.0 OeExp/Flask Xis Expert Edition. I was using DVDx 2.0. DVDx wont hardly work , It was great at first, Then it went south. Flask is a total waste of time in my opinion. I never got the quality that I did from DVDx. Or I just havent had any luck with it. How do you get this gordianknot program and the manual to it? And is it good for the beginner like me? Any thing that is user freindly would be nice, Something that is stable in Windows XP Home. I have a / pent 4, 2.53 / 1.5 g ddr ram / 2 120 gb hard drives /, 64 gforce4 vid card. The programs I have run already have buried my computer. I mean it was crawling. thanks for looking. And if you can save me from all the hype and recomend some things. Well id be truly greatful.

Thanks,
Toddster

Downloaded it

I downloaded gordianknot the ripppac, and the system pack. Is this all I will need? I cant find much in the way of a current manual. So Im unsure. Any sugestions on where to find a complete, current manual? Im interested in VCD & SCVD. I am wanting to back up all my dvd's. By the way thanks alot. I see that you know what your talking about, by all your help in this forum. Thanks for taking time out for me. I am very greatful.

Thank You

Check out the GordianKnot guide by UncasMS, available in this forum itself.

I'm not into VCDs unfortunately, so I can't point any specific guide on their creation.Check out VCD Help though.

With a little modification to the GordianKnot procedures, you should be able to create VCD-compliant MPG files. Make sure that you select VCD-compliant resolution (352x240) and create the Avisynth Script (AVS) file. Load up the AVS file into TMPGEnc and fire up the Wizard (which will greatly aid in creation of various types of MPG files). If you did not follow me, I suggest giving the above site a whirl. Good luck.

To create svcd's I recommend dvd2svcd. A complete guide is available at doom9.org

Question

Will gordianknot program produce a copy of a dvd that will play on a home dvd player? It seems to not be answered in the manual clearly.

Thanks

No, GordianKnot is for Divx encoding, and you can't play divx files or your DVD player.

Kiss technologies produces a standalone divx/dvd player. Divx.com has details on divx supported hardware.
