I gotcha sterogers...I just didnt know if you had tried any of the kvcdx2 templates yet...I might try this out this weekend...that is, trying out both the kvcdx2 templates and dropping the res down to 352x240 and also just trying the 352x480 vcd template and knocking its res down also.
I dont ever want to spend more than 10 mins at the computer getting this going, its a waste of time to me to do that...in fact, even though most people disagree with my method, I dont even use smartripper...I just use dvdx and frameserve to tmpg. I really dont mind if it takes 8 hours to run at night, I just dont want to mess with copying a vid for hours on end, and then having to start all over again later on cuz it didnt work. I am all up for trying something new, but I hate tweaking with such a long process (the 8 hours part).
I have some 90 min cdrs that I got cheap from all media outlet:
http://www.allmediaoutlet.com , I started off with 25 for like 13 bux or so...they worked in my liteon 24x burner, and I even burned them at 24x...no problems in the pc, will find out how the apex 1200 likes them when I get home. I dropped exactly 89 mins of standard vcd video in 352x240 format...no templates...
Keep me posted if you get a chance to try the KVCDx2 templates though...I am very interested to see how it turns out...
