That's something easy to ask but need a book to answer. E.g., there are at least over 10 tools that I know of that can do (just) the rip for you. To get yourself prepared for this big topic, you may want to start here: Dvd/Vcd related tools http://xpt.sourceforge.net/techdocs/media/video/dvdvcd/ and follow the links from there. -- Tong (remove underscore(s) to reply) http://xpt.sourceforge.net/techdocs/ http://xpt.sourceforge.net/tools/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
