No matter you are an experienced or a beginner, you may meet with various problems in ripping a DVD, converting video/ audio files or creating DVD files for your DVD player. You may wonder:
1. What program I should choose to rip a DVD, especially my own-created DVD?
2. What is the best choice for me to convert my video/audio files?
3. I want to make my own DVD from the existing files, how can I do it?
4. Even, after you have chosen the software, you may meet problems in using it or setting it to the best quality.

That's all for audio converters. Have you found the suitable tool for you?

[celtic_druid]

What's with the copyright Xilisoft on avcodec/format?

1) That means that Xilisoft = Imtoo.
2) Shouldn't it be copyright ffmpeg devs? Surely a breach of the gpl (assuming gpl libs are activated liba52, libdts, etc.) license. Also any of your apps that don't work without avcodec/format, you would be required to release source code for, since by defination they would be derivative works. LGPL you would be ok with that.

@druid

I'm just waiting for him to run out of rubbishy products to promote (which by all accounts do not work all that well and are hopelessly overpriced), after which I sincerely hope he'll go away and never come back.

And yes, Xilisoft = ImToo.

yeph, another imtoo user. i used to encountered the problem before, by accident, i fix the problem. all you have to do is click the fourth button(right between the red one and "title") at the main interface, you can show or hide the chapters by clicking it.

well, i do think imtoo should include a help text in the software, in which the functions of every button should be made clear. seldom of the software do not provide this information.
