I recently bought the DVDs of Forrest Gump and Mummy Returns. When I tried to encode them using FlaskMPEG 0.6, both of them gave me a file of 2.0 gb file that was unplayable in Windows Media Player 6.4 and unopenable in Virtualdub. Can someone explain this? Is there some sort of protection on these DVDs? Is there any way that I can create DivX for them?

Try this ( assume you are using Flaskmpeg 0.6 & Divx 4.02):
Output format options:
- Variable bitrate mode : 1- pass
- Performance/Quality : Slow
- Output video bitstream : 1000
- Maximum quantizer : 6
- Minimum quantizer : 4
Global project options:
- Video
- Time base (fps) : 23.976 (force film for smaller file)
The rest of the setup leave it at default, after 4 to 8 hrs depend on your CPU, you will have a nice and near DVD quality (99%) on any movie with a AVI file below 1gb. My The mummy returns converted to avi file at 995mb.
Have fun.Comment

Start using OpenDML AVI, it supports files larger than 2GB (don't remember how large). I have made avi files larger than 3GB.
In Flask 0.6 there is an option called select output format, in which you can select OpenDML AVI, you should always use this with flask 0.6.
When using the old AVI format with flask 0.6 I think you get a mix of the code from 0.597 and 0.6 (the codec selection menus look like the ones found in 0.597). I think this is the main cause of crashes in version 0.6.
khpDonate your idle CPU time for something usefull.
