    hey
    I'm sure this has been asked loads of times. i just got a gmini 400
    and i'm tryin to put a dvd or 2 on it. It only plays mpeg4 files. Anyone know a decent converter, straight from dvd to mpeg4?? i've tried a few but they don't seem to do what there ment to. Any suggeestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    If you've got a MAC you can download MPEG Streamclip for free and then use MacTheRipper (also free) to rip the dvd to your harddrive and then drag one of the VOB files into Streamclip (choose open all) and it will then allow you to export in whatever format you need..... Problems i've had converting straight from dvd is just copy protect crap, but MacTheRipper sorts it. Sounds long but can be done in under 30mins... may be easier ways but i dont know them! If you've a PC, i've no idea!.....

    If I'm reading it right it sounds like you want to encode to mpeg4 directly off the DVD without ripping the files first?

    If that's what you want to do, don't. Takes me about 4 hours to encode a film (AMD +3000XP). If you're running you're DVD drive for that amount of time regularly you'll burn it out pretty quickly.

    To encode on PC get yourself a copy of GordianKnot. Head over to Doom9 for some guides on how to use it.
