hmmm im still having this problem , tried other dvd's now, does tmpeg not support .d2v files anymore.???? ...........

You are saying that it will not accept the d2v file as the video in right.
Did you recently change versions or reinstall TMPG ?
If not you may want to go into TMPG environmental settings (under options) goto the goto the VFAPI tab and right click on DVD2avi project reader and click on higher priority a couple times...so its at least a 0 or a 1.

For the AVI part TMPG will do avi also....set up like normal....but instaed of clicking start....goto file>output to file>then avi. I think DVD2AVI also has the option to say AVI.

Yo first of all your missing the right components you dont encode using *d2v's they suck as frame serving the best way to do it is with VFAPICodec but you'll also need the plugins for TMPGEnc 2.58 get them @ www.tmpgenc.net get the TMPGEnc_Free_VFAPI.zip and download the VFAPICodec then get back to me on instructions.

hi ihav downloaded and installed both things u told me to to do, .......now all i need to know is how to use them....

Unzip the file into the dir where tmpgenc is, then run the install bat file this will install it.

hi that last 2 dvd's that i have rippedn now i have just used , smart ripper then used dvdx as teh program to make it into mpeg, is there any problem in doing this, is it the same quality as using tmpeg....i seem not to have any problem using dvdx .......

thanks
steve.

smart ripper then used dvdx as teh program to make it into mpeg, is there any problem in doing this, is it the same quality as using tmpeg

actually, the feeling around here seems to be that dvdx is not that good in terms of quality.... the all-in-one proggie of choice seems to be dvd2svcd..

i personally still like to use separate programs because it gives more flexibility, but if you want something easy to use, then i suggest using dvd2svcd, rather than dvdx

[bigred3]

hehehe i dont have a sweet clue how to use dvd2svcd or whatever.......all them frigging boxes....im trying dvdx again now wit the dvd rules of engagment just to see how it looks if im not satisfied with the quality then i will have to go with the program u where talking about...
