You would have to have a way to create the VTS_X_YY.VOB and VTS_X_YY.IFO files yourself. Joey, I think what you are looking for is the transcode project. You can find it here: http://www.transcoding.org/cgi-bin/transcode >From their web page: "Transcode is a suite of command line utilities for transcoding various video and audio codecs, and for converting beween different container formats. It can decode and encode many audio and video formats, e.g. * DivX * MPEG-1/2/4 * Quicktime * AC3 audio" And, if I understand it correctly, XviD is a variation (mirror image?) on DivX. I haven't played around with DVD's much as I don't yet understand how one is assembled and the interrelationship between the various codecs. I did install DVD::Rip, which is one of the GUI frontends to transcode, on Xandros and successfully ripped a DVD with it. It is pretty slick and rather fast too. I ripped a full DVD in less than an hour, which, from I hear from some of the Window$ experts that are doing it, is darned fast. I wound up with a bunch of files spread over two different directory trees, so then the task becomes how to properly reassemble the ripped files. Sounds like a good topic for an upcoming Newbies workshop. I hope this helps, Ed Richards This email, including any attached files, may contain confidential and privileged information.
