Hopeless amount of crashing/problems in FlaskMPEG, XMPEG
Ok, here's the problem. I have a big collection of DVD's that I would like to take with me to university. Due to space constraints that isn't going to be possible, so since I have a fairly large HD I thought why not compress them all and take them on my computer, leaving the DVD's in a box at home.
To start with I had some success, and managed to get a few films to decent size and good quality, improving as I went along and understood the options better. But that didn't last long, and now after I guess some unknown change to my computer settings every program I've tried has random problems, all fatal.
Either they crash at some point in the setup process (opening project settings, audio tools, seems different every time), or the output file is messed up in some way - plays extremely (like 100x) quickly then crashes the player half-way through, completely corrupted sound (eg 26k total size sound track) or no sound is recorded in the avi file, or even no picture - opening it up in VirtualDub shows there is the full sound track, just no video frames.
I've tried several versions of FlaskMPEG and XMPEG, and about 10 different DVD's, none have worked. I've even tried re-doing some that I successfully compressed before and they don't work now.
I've been using DivX 5.0.2 (not pro version) and MP3 for sound, I have an Athlon AMD processor. I used DVDDecrypter to copy the VOB's to my computer.
Any help much appreciated... please tell me if there's any more information I can give that might help in working out what the problem is.
Or are there any other, more stable programs capable of divx encoding to avi?
Edit: I should add that I've followed every conversion guide I could find, on this website and others, and come to the above results.
