Being a carpenter, a school teacher or a NASA engineer is not an issue here.
Just try to separate your sentences a little bit to help us when we read your posts, that's all
If you feel confortable enough when using just tmpgenc and DVD2AVI projects, then be my guest.
It's just that I say that, if you use Avisynth in your encodes you will surely and dramatically improove your backups.
Plus, when you use avisynth scripts you just need to use Center VAM under tmpgenc
And please try not download movies from the internet, wether they are AVI, SVCD or KVCD even if they are not copyrighted.
Usually you don't have any means to proove if they were well encoded or not.
Always try to do your own encodes.
That way you know if it was done properly or not.
And if it's not properly encoded, you can just blame yourself for that
Cheers
