I Need Help Rippin DVDs!!!!!

[Walker101B]

Question one, I have successfully turned a DVD9 into a DVD5. 2 problems have arised though, I ripped X-MEN, the picture and audio are great, but the movie stops when it get's to 75%. If I skip menus, the movie is complete. 2, these ripped DVDs do not play in my Playstation 2. Now I know my Playstation 2 reads DVD-Rs, I have created DVDs that play.

Question 2, what is the prefered Burning software for DVD-Rs?

Question 3, I have download many Divx movies, but when I use Ulead Movie Factory, it always says the movie is too big. Now I find it hard to believe that a file that is under a gig is too big when it's converted.

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You should research all of these questions on this forum as they have been asked and answered countless times.

Quick response:

1) If the movie stops towards the end, it is PROBABLY your media. What brand of DVD-R are you using and what burning software are you using?

2) There is no "preferred" brand of DVD-R's As no two people have the same, identical systems, burners, standalone players, etc...it's to each his own. If you want something where I have not read ANY errors or issues with, then you should try TDK disks or Maxell disks, both of which can be found at CompUsa and/or Office Depot.


3) As I don't deal with DIVX movies because I think the quality sucks..I can't answer that, but there is definitely something wrong with those movies in general, because to my knowledge, even those d/l'd movies are 4-7 GB's. But if for some reason that is the file size after your output,I would go to ulead's site and read documentation on how to use that proggy. Good Luck
