I've been using several Rippers, then using TMPGenc to make MPG for Nero VCD burn. As long as there is no/slow movement on the screen all is picture perfect, but when a left to right or up to down or similar pan is made the screen gets slightly fuzzy momentarily, and also some slight stopping along the way instead of smooth movement. It has been worth the effort anyway (about 9 hrs to process per movie with 733 Pentium 3). Would like to know if I am missing something in the settings or program. Thanks for your trouble. If anybody wants to know I am decoding and encoding VOB's, MOV's, AVI's, MPG's, MPEG's and DivX's with great results. Also using Cool Editor Pro on the WAV's to fix signal strength, hissing, etc...
