I actually bought (registered, and ordered a backup copy on CD of) the full blown DivX Codec and Converter for Windows (no longer availiable for Lunix although there was a version awhile back) might be worth look at seeing if this runs ok under wine. The Rips I get under wndows\divx is damn near as good as watching the DVD itself, no dropped frames and awesome audio quality, the only issues I had with it were on a couple of DVDs, the audio for some reason didnt match the mouth actions as it was about a fraction of a second off-set, this was annoying but I managed to correct it using a free bit of sotfware called VirtualDub, again all on windows, I just need to spend some time to see if I can gat these working on Linux / Wine.
I have to confess this last couple of months I have been lazy, and taking the easy option of booting into windows where the programs are already installed and working. I really do need to play around with Linux more. Regards Richard On 19/07/07, Mark Rogers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I am currently using Windows / DivX to rip my DVDs (all > legitimate obviously) to backup my DVD collection. So far all I've done was install DVD::Rip using Automatix, then clicked a few buttons and the job was done! To be fair the results weren't great - dropped frames and poor audio sync, but that could have been at playback not at rip, and it could be easy to tweak, I just haven't looked at it yet. On Windows, FairUseWizard is pretty good, and in the past I've got that to run fine under Wine. -- Mark Rogers // More Solutions Ltd (Peterborough Office) // 0845 45 89 555 Registered in England (0456 0902) at 13 Clarke Rd, Milton Keynes, MK1 1LG _______________________________________________ Peterboro mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/peterboro
