Who is using windows 2000???

Someone who is using windows 2000, and getting it to work, please post hear what you are doing and what adjustments you made. I am using windows 2000 on an AMD 850. I am doing smartripper, dvd2avi,VFAPI,CCE, and bbmpeg. Smartripper and bbmpeg are not stable at all, they freeze more than they work. When I encode with cce, there is a strange shaking on the lower half of the film. I have encoded 5 movies, and they all have it. I was previously using windows 98se and it was fine. Windows xp, I used but it had many problems so I went to 2000. I have service pack 2 installed. I can't go back to 98 because I must use scenarist to make dvd's because I need film frame rate, widescreen, and dolby digital. Unless anyone knows of another authoring prog that odes this, is stable and might work in 98se.

I know this is not gonna do you any good..but I am using W2K along with all the apps you listed..and not a single problem out of any of them..well except VFAPI...I dont use it. VFAPI I wouldnt recommend unless absolutely have to use it..I would framserve..VFAPI slows CCE because of its RGB conversion. But back to your problem, I dont have a problem with:

DVD2AVI 1.76
CCE 2.5
Smartripper 2.4
BBmpeg 1.25 beta 13

All work under all 3 OS's I have installed as well. Not sure what your problem could be.

do you know of a substitute for vfapi? Maybe this is the culprit for my distortion in CCE?

Your best using avisynth to frameserve to CCE, though I'm using win2k and VFAPI works fine (using it for TSCV)
