The video is dead

[switch842]

Because InterVideo is officially a piece of shit. I hate this. It was all done. Just had to reverse the one clip and version 3 corrupted the file. FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT.

I'm done.

The fantastic thing about Vegas is it can edit .vob files. You don't have to mess around converting your DVD rips to any other format first.

Dude, you sound like you're Apple kryptonite. *g* I had a good look at iMacs today. Am pretty sure I'm getting a 24" 2.88Ghz dual core. It's a lower spec than my current big Dell gaming rig, which is quad-core, but the Dell freezes doing the smallest things, like starting up, so I think a slightly lower-specced Mac could still be far more efficient. And I can run Windows on it so I can still use Vegas.

Luckily, the ripping program I use rips to .avi or .mpg format. I think there's a couple other it can handle, too. Which is great. No converting necessary! :-)

I AM Apple Kryptonite. It's the reason I only got an mp3 player this past Christmas. And NOT an iPod. But I love my little gizmo and that's all that matters. :-)

Oh, really? What programme would that be? I use SmartRipper but I understand it's no longer supported. I like it because I can specify to rip by chapter, but it's always good to have other options.

I have an iPod, but almost brought a Creative Zen instead. Apple are not the be all and end all of portable audio, thankfully.

I use AOA DVD Ripper. In addition to ripping to many formats, you can specify exactly which part of the DVD you want to rip. So, when I rip, I can just rip the 10 seconds that I need or the whole episode if I want. It's only $30 or so to buy. They do have a free version, but it limits your ripping length to 10 minutes. Which isn't bad if you want to just try something out.

I love my Zen. :-D I need to get more stuff on it, though. Which I will do as soon as my laptop is working again. :-P

Ooh, I might try that one. When you say 10 minutes, do you mean 10 minutes for any one clip, or 10 minutes total and then it won't work any more? I wonder if they have a Mac version?

[switch842.livejournal.com]

Just 10 minutes clip length. So if you needed 15 minutes of something, you would need to rip it in 2 parts. And there's no expiration to the free version, either. Not sure about a Mac version, but I think it's definitely worth looking into.

Oh, awesome. I use Nero Recode for copying entire DVD's (Griffin likes to put his own DVDs in the player and they get wrecked so we make copies he can play and keep the original safe) but for vid clips, I never rip more than a minute or two.

*runs off to investigate*
