Okay, I have exhausted all hope for myself. I'm trying to rip a 2 minute clip to post on YouTube and I'm having trouble. All my DVDs are burned. I used DVDShrink to isolate the scene I want. I renamed the file with a MPG extention. Now, nothing I try will resize it. I downloaded Riva FLV Converter and that won't work. I tried Apex Video Converter, with that I can't see any video, just audio. I tried VirtualDub and I keep getting an error. All I want to do is resize this clip. It's 2 minutes and 34 Megs, way to big to upload. Any ideas??

Did you use VirtualDub-Meg2 and what was the error?

Try Super©, drag the file on to the window and select an output container.
Super© converts everything (almost)

I'm not sure which version of VirtualDub I was using, but it was not MPEG2. So I downloaded it. Now I can at least get the clip to show up, but now I'm running into other problems.

First, after I go through the process, I get an error when I try to save that reads - "No audio decompressor could be found to decompress the source audio format".

But, before I got that error and it actually tried to work, it was saving at a riduclous file size, like over 100 Megs.

These are the steps I used to get things set up, maybe I fudged something up.

File>Open video file
Video>Fast recompress
Audio>Full processing mode
Video>Compression>DivX MPEG-4 Low motion
Audio>Compression>MPEG-3
File>Save as AVI

If I'm doing something wrong, please let me know. Thanks in advance.

If the source audio is AC3 (in VirtualDub, click 'File'> 'file Information' and check the audio stream) , download the AC3-ACM codec and save as before.

Thanks for the input. I just downloaded SUPER and that has pretty much solved all my problems.
