DVD2AVI problem

[iownju]

I was looking at the tutorial on how to go from DVD to VCD but when i did the DVD2AVI it didnt make an avi file. Also my DVD2Avi looks very diffrent then the one in the tutorial (i ues the first tutorial in the DVD to VCD page) i dont have a lot of the menus that the tutorial has so i was wonderign if someone could help

does anyone know

I'm sure that you'll smile, but I was totally confused as you are. I reinstaled program several times but nothing did help. I vas wery angry and clicked on "misc." more by accident than on purpose. Cklick there and you'll see. See? Choose avi...

[iownju]

i dont have a misc anywhere though

Sorry, I thought you use DVD2VCD ver. 1.1.0 build 1c program. There is Misc. where is "imput file type" section with three options DVD, AVI and DVB (pva). If AVI is selected menus are diferent.
Good luck! Maybe you should be moore specific?

well when i use DVD2AVi to start making the rip, you have to choose all the .vob files and and open them in the program. Well when i read the tutorial http://www.vcdhelp.com/sefy/?id=ClassicalGuide.html it has some menus in dvd2avi that i dont have, which means that i dont know how to make a .wav file to be used in the TMPGEnc program, which means that i can make the copy but it wont have any sound at all .so i cant make the wav file which means that i cant copy the dvd properly

Try to simply skip steps 1d to 1h.

OK, last chance: I'll send you zipped dvd2avi 1.86 version if you contact me on drwega@volja.net (It's 268 KB long)

Happy 2003!!

I have exactly the same issue with the latest version of dvd2avi - I would appreciate a copy of the earlier version too.

Also, I have read on this forum of some problems with the latest version of TMPGEnc (2.59) - the recommendation is to go back a version, however I cannot find an earlier version for download anywhere.... any ideas?

Thanks!

Thanks for the link, but I've already been there - this only lists the various versions, when you go to download, only the latest version is available.....
