DVD to SVCD for HD Storage - Best Method?

[gtd2000]

I have recently experimented with DVD decrypter and DVD2SVCD etc

DVD Decrypter works very well indeed in conjunction with Raemon tools for viewing ripped DVD movies.

What I'd like to know though - is there a program that will take my converted ISO images from DVD Decrypter and put them into SVCD format which I can play back from my HD. I'm not really too worried about putting them onto CDR's etc.

Nearly every program which I have attempted to use e.g. DVD2SVCD encounters an error with something regarding ASPI or APCI (I forget right now) and not having an Adaptec source installed?? This is only when I try to rip/burn to a CDR though. (I actually think it may happend each time I use a program other than DVD Decrypter perhaps???)

DVD Decrypter works perfectly. This obviously produces a very large DVD sized file which takes up an overly large amount of HD space. I'd like to find out how to conver to SVCD to save space and "store" a few movies on HD rather than fiddling around with DVD's all the time.

Any ideas?

Well I am currently testing DVDx which appears to be working well so far.

Only 10hrs 13mins to go

well so much for that an error was encountered about 2 hours in

I'm sure after all the time involved messing around it would be easier to simply buy a back up copy of the DVD
