HELP.. PLEASE!!!
Im in process of turning some dvds I own to divx. I take movies camping, and dont wanna take the originals if i dont have to.. too mucha chance of them getting destroyed. So, i thought if I could move them to a cd (.avi) life would be wonderful, and I've save my collection.
Anyway, I managed to get things to transfer to avi, to a 352 meg file. Im new, so i dont know if thats too small or not. but my biggest issue is that the audio and video dont quite sync right. What programs should I be using from the original dvd to get an avi that I can put on a cd. Id liketo get the whole movie on one cd.

Thanks for helping the new guy!

Thanks!! I'll take a look at that.
I tried ImToo and it seems to work ok.. but small screen res size. is that a trick to getting the "normal view" a bigger screen res then 352 X 288, and still have the whole movie fit on 1 cd?!

Hi there,

Have you tried SVCD ?

Quote:
SVCD's resolution is 2x higher than VCD's, in PAL the resolution is 480x576 and in NTSC it is 480x480. Framerates are 25fps and 29.97fps, just like in any other video format. SVCD's quality is somewhere between VideoCD and DVD-Video. Most of the DVD players can play SVCD discs which makes is perfect format for backing up your DVD movies and a very good alternative for DivX ;-) format.

But it might not fit on 1 CD-R !

Most movies I've seen in SVCD were on 2 CD-R.

And I was going to suggest ImToo Software also.
Only used it once in the past and it did an excellent job !

If you want .DivX files, try the DivX create package, otherwise I would suggest AutoGK or FairUse Wizard to convert to an XviD AVI.

Flask hasn't been updated in years. I wasn't aware that anyone still used it.
