Dvd2avi Can't Open Movie Green Window Instead

[OverDead]

Hi guys ..

Well I am having a BIG problem here . I am trying to convert a dvd (witch contains 11 hours of video low quality but works fine) using gordian knot. I have ripped the dvd using dvd dycrpter in the iso mode mounted the image and then when i tried to open the files in dvd2avi 1.77.3dg1.0.0rc2 it just shows a green window instead of the movie and when i press f5 for preview i get a message form windows xp saying that dvd2avi incountred a problem and should be close. what can i do about it

Thanx a lot and sorry for the long post.

"I have ripped the dvd using dvd dycrpter in the iso mode mounted the image and then when i tried to open the files in dvd2avi 1.77.3dg1.0.0rc2 it just shows a green window"

Try using DVD Decrypter to "Rip" in "File" mode NOT "ISO" mode, then try to open in DVD2AVI and see if it opens OK.

well i have tried to rip using ifo mode and file mode as well as iso mode but still i get the same green window despite the movie works fine when i watch it using powerdvd. is there any other program like dvd2avi that i can use ????

Thanks

Use file mode in dvd decrypter.

dvd2avi does it work better than any other software out there.

well that's what i idid but it didn't work..
however i have demuxed the dvd and got some mpeg for sound and some m2v for video witch i tried to open in dvd2avi but got the same green window but i was able to play them in windows media player. now is it possible to convert these m2v files to divx ??

Thanx

Yes but what encoder are you going to use.

[UncasMS]

why did you DEMUX the streams?

converting the vobs to divx shouldnt be a problem

[OverDead]

I demuxed the streams because i coundn't use the vobs.

[decryptit]

Why not.Because of the green thing u said

[OverDead]

yes but the question is what can i do with these m2v files and how to create d2v files so i can use them in gordian knot for examples. Is there another format that gordian knot can understand ???

Thanx
