Hi,
I have been using VC6.2.1.277 to convert some DVD's to MP4 (Profile: 640 x 480). I've so far converted a movie which worked perfectly, and another DVD which isn't a movie - it's a 6 episode series that has copy protection, which copied OK, however it copied all 6 episodes back to back in one long MP4 file - have I done something stupid here? I pointed to the VIDEO_TS.IFO file and that's how it ended up? I was hoping for 6 separate files.
HOWEVER, this isn't my reason for posting. The problem is, after my successes above, I tried to copy (to MP4 and also avi) another 6 episode series DVD (called The Inbetweeners). It's a copy protected DVD so DVD43 needs to do it's thing, and seems to OK. But when I point to the VIDEO_TS.IFO is copies episode 2 only. When I choose one of the other available IFO files (VTS_02_0.IFO - VTS_07_0.IFO, which are episodes 1-6) it starts to copy, however really does crawl along at an exceptionally slow pace and never seems to make it much past 0.12% even after a matter of hours. I can hear the DVD drive hunting in spurts and the head suddenly tracks across the DVD then settles down before tracking across it again. When I click on STOP in VC it takes an age to stop - probably many minutes. The output file never gets bigger than 2K no matter how many hours I leave it running. It also does not show the video running in the box under the Advanced screen - It just displays that message saying something like, please wait whilst the video is converted.....
There's no error file - checked in C:\Documents and Settings\... User Name ...\Application Data\AVS4YOU\AVSDiscCreator\logs
There's no step by step instructions for me to give other than I put DVD in, open VC, select the IFO file, then click To MP4, then select the profile option, click advanced (or not in some attempts), then hit Convert Now - I've tried setting it to different priorities but get the same result. I've also tried it on another computer and get exactly the same behaviour.
It's driving me mad!
If you want me to send a sample of the video, I will try, but you'll need to talk me through that since I obviously can't copy it as is.
Please help because I like this software and don't want to have to pratt about anymore, it's driving me nuts. I'll be away on holiday soon and would love to get this sorted before I go.
Cheers,
Steve
