A REAL NEWBIE HERE.

I created m2v and ac3 files from my Independece Day DVD using Smartripper and the file size for m2v I ended up with is 4 gig.

When I previewd that m2v file in DVD2AVI, it is only about 2/3 of the actual movie. So what did I do wrong? or is it normal?

I used the guide from DVD2DVDR site's Smartripper guide. I set to "Copy IFO files", "Max file size 9000" then I picked an audio (6ch) and the video file from Stream Processing screen. Then I highlighted demux to an extra file. So I ended up with both ac3 and m2v files.

Any help will be appreciated...
