Funny, I haven't found anything that doesn't work on Vista.

[kimba1]

which version do you have?

I have home basic
these are trhe programs I can`t use
divx encoder
hd decrypter
dvd shrink
all of these says they work on vista but I had bad luck
could it be the home basic?

I haven`t used that many programs on it yet
it`s such a turn off using vista

[Amianthus]

which version do you have?

I have home basic

I have Home Premium with Service Pack 1.

these are trhe programs I can`t use
divx encoder
hd decrypter
dvd shrink

I've used the DIVX encoder (running right now, AAMOF) and DVD Shrink. Flash works great under Firefox as well.

I just used divx encoder
I keep getting something about the mencodersh.exe
i can`t get beyond that
but the newer dvd shrink seems to work just fine
I haven`t use hd decrypt yet it`s way too involve to try just now.

[kimba1]

I just reinstalled from the website
divx encoder still not working
maybe you got a newer version
mine is 0.3.60
have you encounter the mencodersh.exe problem?

I`m not the only one having this problem

[Amianthus]

My DivX Codec is 6.8.0.

I use Magic DVD Ripper to encode via DivX.

thanks
I see we`re of different worlds
see everythings I do is from freeware
dvd shrink is rip or convert to iso image
the rip I use divxencoder to make a avi for my pockert pc
decrypter on the iso for making back ups
I`ll have to see if that codec can help me out
thank you

What advantage is Vista over XP?

What advantage is Vista over XP?

It will be supported when the support for XP is turned off shortly.

I like the interface better.

The are downsides - it requires more computer resources being the main one.

Yeah, me too, in general. Unfortunately, all of the freeware DVD rippers suck. Magic is only $35, less than a tank of gas. ;-)

what the toughest movie to crack?
casino royale was tricky for me
is magic pretty good on the laterst stuff?
I`ve been tempted to go to the paidside.

I don't rip that many movies. Anything that Magic can't handle on it's own, I've just used DVDecrypt to dump it onto the hard disk, then used Magic from there. DVDecrypt is freeware, and it strips any copy protection I've run into so far, but does not do any ripping (it just copies the DVD onto a hard disk sans copy protection).

Maybe I'll rent Casino Royale and see if it's any problem going that route.

For Magic, you can download it for free and run it for a while, see if it works for you before you buy it.

I do that with my laptop
I put in on my hard-drive and use vlc to play it like a dvd.
on trips I don`t have to carry disc that way.
