Thanks for trying. DVDCutter is the first and only program I've tried so far, the 2.5 version. It was easy enough to understand. The 3.1 version uses 5.0 divx and does SVCD. the homepage is w*w.jummpa.com for anyone who's interested. The 2.5 cracked version is out floating around. If/when I manage to salvage the place I got the cracked 2.5 version from, I'll post it up here. (If thas ok?)
Just going to try DVD2SVCD after reading the guide and compare quality.
cheers
