Is your desire to create a burned DVD, VideoCD ("VCD" - for playback on a standalone DVD player/television setup), Super VideoCD ("SVCD" - for playback on a standalone DVD player/television setup), MPEG-1 (for PC-only playback), or MPEG-2 (for PC-only playback)?

I want to create a dvd i use ulead dvd workshop to create the menu's for the dvd's but i can only work with avi's or mpegs (1 or 2)

Use DVD Shrink v.3.0beta5, in "Re-author" mode, to read the DVds and create your clips in DVD "packages".

Then use "TMPGEnc DVD Author" (different than "TMPGEnc") to easily create a DVD with both chapters and a menu...

i get an error with DVD shrink 3.0 beta 5 " dvd shrink encounterd an error and cannot continue
the error is

programming error - impossible program state occured

the reason is unknown"



any idea's?

[setarip]

Are the DVDs that you're trying to read with DVD Shrink v.3.0beta5 original commercial DVDs? If not, how were they created?

[gorbs]

No they are dvd-r i have no idea how they were created strange thing is tho when the program checks to see what is on the dvd it comes up with two 1 hour 58 mins tracks when there should only be one

"they are dvd-r i have no idea how they were created"

I'm afraid I have nothing further to offer...
