(It was me who made the original request...) One file, or a VIDEO_TS folder would be fine. Either way, the ability to seamlessly copy DVDs to the hard drive, and be able to later call them up for viewing, is what I want.
I may also want the ability to compress (Mpeg-4 ?) the video. Is it possible to keep the DVD menus and such, but have the video format different than Mpeg-2 ? Another nice feature would be to be able to strip out unwanted audio tracks, but keep the menus. As recording TV is a secondary need at this point, I am beginning to wonder if there might be a better software solution for what I want to do with DVDs. -Randy On Tue, 7 Dec 2004, nate s wrote: > The op said he wanted it in one file...
