Well, after doing a full 2.5 hour conversion the video and sound came out perfectly, so a big thumbs up.

The trouble is now I think the codecs are corrupted, vidrop wont work at all, Avi converter 4 wont work.

Vidrop doesnt let me access the dvd section at all, Dvd ripper always asks me to run "Power DVD" before it will let me access Ripper ? Maybe something to do with encryptions.

So I managed to get 1 perfect conversion done before all the conversion/ripping software somehow became corrupted.

I tried deleting everything to do with Avi/converters/dvd rippers etc but some files I could not delete. Also tried system restore, so something has gone amiss on my pc that I cannot detect and, not sure I want to delete the media packages on that came with the pc but have a feeling the code could be altered in them in some way now (after DVD Ripper telling me to run Power dvd which came in the bundle).

Anyway, the parameters for the above player worked perfectly (while it lasted) if anyone else is having problems with stuttery videos.
