hi there. ive sucessfully managed to convert films now but i havent used the dvd ripper recommended as i couldnt get the code to work.
this is how ive done it

dvd shrink 3.2
xillsoft video converter to wmv
then amv converter to mp4 player. (file size around 191,500kb after conversion)

works well no problems. the only thing is that i cant change the size on the amv program to a bigger viewing screen size (currently on the smallest setting thus not using a full screen to play movies). when i enter the settings on the amv program the viewing size isnt highlighted so i cant change the settings. any ideas on why not? it simply wont let me change the size end of!

:twisted:
regards everyone
