Yes, there are. That's why I originally said Shrink was getting long in the tooth.

It looks to me like you don't have Divx installed. http://www.divx.com There's also a Divx converter for download there, too...

Virtualdub is probably the best program to do it, but you could also try something called Super (Super might be a bit easier for you to use if you're inexperienced in this area). Just bear in mind you'll cop some quality loss in the video when you "convert" because you'll actually be...

A couple of other options which are probably cheaper: You could buy a cheapo multi-format DVD/everything player. I picked up a Highlander last week from Strathfield for about $69. It's played everything I've thrown at it so far. The other option is to get a graphics card with TV-out, but this...

Virtualdub will do it. But, can I ask you why you want to convert?

True, but I find that when a lot of people ask what a good "DVD burning program" is, they actually mean "how can I copy DVDs?". Yeah, mostly. But Shrink and Decrypter are unable to strip the copy protection from some newer DVDs. Still a good combo, though.

When you backup the DVD with Shrink, go to "Select Backup Target" (under the "Target Device" tab after clicking "Backup") and change it to "ISO Image File" (or, if you want to burn the image as soon as it's backed up, change it to "ISO Image File and Burn with DVD Decrypter"). It seems you've...

Download DVD Decrypter. It's free and it will burn the DVD for you. Click 'Source' and open up the .ISO (disc image) you've made and set the mode to ISO -> Write.

Serial killer in the making...

True, but I think he's asking for a program that will allow him to edit the footage after extraction. Womble MPEG Video Wizard DVD will allow him to edit the footage (it's frame accurate and you can even replace the audio) without needing to re-encode it.

DVD Shrink, though it is getting a bit long in the tooth now...

I would have thought the FLAC file would be better quality, as it's a lossless audio codec (as opposed to lossy mp3)? Edit: misread the original question. Yes, the 320 kbps mp3 would be better quality...

DVD Decrypter to rip the video as one large, continuous file. Womble MPEG Video Wizard DVD to chop/cut the footage without re-encoding it (i.e. no quality loss). DVD Decrypter is free. MPEG Video Wizard DVD isn't, but you get a 30 day trial when you download it. If it's a one-off project...

I'm in my mid 30s and really liked the film when I saw it back in the 80s. I watched it again recently and thought it was ok, but I did find the ending really cheesy. One major aspect of my enjoyment of the film when watched again years later was remembering how much I liked it back in the day...

You seriously wouldn't want to convert the the audio from .flv files. It's already encoded at a pretty low bitrate. Re-encoding it will make it sound even worse. What you want to do is demux the audio and video streams (that basically means saving the audio and video files as two separate...

Yeah, same here. I 've always found the PSX and PS2 controllers to be pretty robust.

"Relevant" is whatever is relevant to you. Stuff what the hipsters think.

Funny, I heard the same version as Ms LC. IIRC, the location of the restaurant in question was Lower or Centre Dandenong Road, not far from Moorabbin Airport. Hmmmm... perhaps one of the big multi-national fast food joints started the rumour to drive them out of business? Check this out...

Both great games (though the NFS version I had was on the PS2, but probably featured similar gameplay). Hot Pursuit is without a doubt the best game in the series - and I'm pretty sure it's one of the earliest in the series as well. I've found most of the subsequent games in the series pretty...

It's an interesting question. I've been getting into emulation over the past year or so. I've downloaded a lot of old games I used to love 15-20 years ago. I have to admit that I find most of them incredibly poxy. Some systems I've revisited have been so laughably bad by today's standards that I...

You know, I'm pretty sure that DoD was the first game I ever bought for the TRS-80. Believe it or not, I found an emulator for it a few months back that you can run on a Windows PC. I seem to recall also having a baseball game (imaginitively titled Tandy Colour Baseball if my memory serves...

Was it the TRS-80 by any chance? That was my very first computer, though it gave way very quickly to a Commodore 64. That's fair enough. All the listings for Nintendo 64 games made me think most of the posters were young 'uns. As an aside, I occasionally catch Good Game on ABC2. In the segment...

Haha... That's a relief. :)

Back on topic, there was a good article on this issue in JB Hi-Fi's recent issue of Stack: http://www.stack.net.au/g-features.php?goto=10 "The Politics of Video Game Censorship...

Just to go off on a slight tangent, I clicked on the link in the article that opens up the IEAA website. Found this in the "Game Piracy" section: http://www.ieaa.com.au/game_piracy.html "...Sadly, large scale piracy and organised crime often go hand in hand. Piracy provides the...

Ask a gamer born in the 1970s what a "64" is and he'll tell you it's a Commodore 64. Judging by the games mentioned in this thread so far, I get the feeling I'm a bit older than the majority of the other posters here. Hell, I've never even owned a Nintendo console... :eek:

I have to admit the gameplay on the 64 version is the best overall. I didn't think much of the dancing with the Governor's daughter ad infinitum in the PC version (aside from that, I loved the updated graphics etc.). Yes, it was a hell of a machine for it's time. I've recently gotten into...

Giving away your age, methinks. ;) Yeah, Bubble Bobble was a good game back in the day. Pirates is good on any platform (64, Amiga), but I especially enjoyed the (relatively) recent PC incarnation. Amazing. As for The Last Ninja... I've always thought this was a bit over-rated. Not a bad...

Well said... and no offence taken. I think the classic travel w***er is more of a J. Peterman-type who thinks you'll be thrilled to death with his/her stories of travels to exotic locales. There's a fine line between telling an interesting story and coming across as a pretentious tossbag, IMO...
