What are your opinions about this?

[rageeman]

To make VCDs I used to use DVD Decryptor to put them to my hard drive, then use DVDx to rip em, then Nero to burn them, everything on maximun quality.

My friend used to use different software to make his VCDs and his quality was always rubbish. He used to use DVD Coppy or summit.


Does anyone have a better or easier way for either of us?

Opinions are usefull here!

Pinnacle 8(studio)

[rageeman]

Wht is that a ripping tool?

[decryptit]

Pinnacle instant copy its called.

[rageeman]

Oh I see, is that good quality?

And can you do this in parts (stop and restart)?

[decryptit]

And can you do this in parts (stop and restart)? what do you mean.

Yes this is of good quality.If you need feedback of getting the most high quality just post gain.

Second thing i would reccomend svcd its a little better.:-0

[decryptit]

Check you web,it sems to be gone away.

[rageeman]

Yes I know SVCD is better qualit but this is usualy 3-4 disks long...

I mean I have to turn my PC off at night and back on in the morning, can you stop the ripping and restart it later?

[decryptit]

Why do you have to turn off your pc.

No matter ,usally an encoding process would take up
6hrs on a p4/amd athlon xp (3000mhz)
7hrs on celeron/amd duron/crusoe/gx (2000mhz)

10-12hrs on p3 / athlon (700-1000mhz)

If you start in the morning your encoding process should be finished.

My family doesn't like me keeping my PC on on the night...

I have a 2.0GHz AMH Athlon XP procesor with 256 MB DDR RAM memory, how long is that?

[decryptit]

6 to 7 hrs depending file size aswell.But still it shouldn't take up more than that.

[rageeman]

Ok, cheers

[decryptit]

Np

[decryptit]

Make sure you be patient while your video encodes ,and you miht give svcd a try.

[decryptit]

It won't take up 3 cd's if you set pinnacle correctly.
