New for me.

Super DVD Ripper v1.86

Super DVD ripper is an easy to use DVD ripping and copying tool which can copy DVD to DIVX AVI files or MPEG1 MPEG2

files. Super DVD Ripper can then copy DVD to VCD or SVCD, an ideal method to make backup DVD copy. No expensive DVD

burner required, direct burning to CD which can be played in your DVD player.

@ Geoff one point to mention here that its physically impossible to duplicate a DVD without a DVD ROM DRIVE in your computer system as normal CDR/CDRW drives are incapable of reading the DVD's hi -density data format ...

Just added this to avoid confusion that it is often assumed that this is possible without a DVD drive in your system

Yeah, thanks Viper, I have the DVD reader but not the DVD writer.
I'm still waiting for the prices to come down a bit more before leaping into the actual DVD writing.
I've been using Eazy VCD with a fair amount of success until now but a friend of mine who has used Super DVD Ripper since V 1.68 reckons it is the better out of the two.
If it is straight copying from DVD to VCD or XVCD and I know you would only get the biggest file out and not the whole complete DVD, then what program would be the best and the easiest?
Easiest being the operative word, I like ('cos I'm a lazy sod) being able to bung in the DVD, choose the number of CDRs required and then go of to bed and leave it to get on with it.....zzzzz

Now that makes 13 different versions of this DVD to xxxx. Its GUI for a collection of free software readily available (mainly an old version of DVDx ) and commonly called conware. It may be easy to use but the quality of the result will not come anywhere near that of EazyVCD.

Have you tried the latest ver of EasyVCD ver 1.15a ?

Geoff · Mar 1, 2003

Funny you should ask that ChickenMan, I downloaded V 1.15 and installed it and when I went to use it, it assumed that it was on drive C which it wasn't, it was installed from and on to drive G, which is my Windows 2000 partition.
All other versions from V. 1.10 have installed on and worked from drive G but for some reason this latest version doesn't want to and as far as I can see, doesn't give the user any choice of drive to install on. Of course I could be wrong? poor eyesight and brain failure must be taken into account. I've taken it off for now as I really don't want to have to boot into Windows 98se to be able use it on drive C.
Maybe I'm missing something here but at the moment I thought I'd wait until I could get around this problem so your comments on this would be very welcome ChickenMan.

Sorry, latest is 1.15a not 1.15, there was a major bug in 1.15.

All versions I have installed automatically install to the boot drive, normally C:

Thanks for the info. ChickenMan.

I'll check if I have V 1.15 or 1.15a and install it again.

I would have thought that my Win. 2000 boot drive being the drive it was installed from would have been the only drive this program would have known about but who said common sense
had anything to do with computers?
