Title: XVID for Dummies? Post by: I, Zimbra on January 29, 2007, 11:13:18 PM Further to Tanks' "Burning DVDs" thread (http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=19552.0), I have a question, almost the reverse of what Tank is up to: :D
Anyone know how to create the Xvid compressed .avi type of files that you get off 'tubes'? Every guide to Xvid I've read seems hideously complicated, and I have some DVDs wot I bought that I want to back up and store together (so I can watch em on the PC screen and don't have to keep switching DVDs needlessly, you understand). All responses/PMs gratefully accepted. Cheers! Title: Re: XVID for Dummies? Post by: Graham C on January 29, 2007, 11:19:45 PM You want to convert dvd files to avi?
http://www.winavi.com/ does this job quite nicely. Title: Re: XVID for Dummies?

Converted to AVI and now the WMV, and the image moves at the correct speed....but there's no dialogue sound :( I give up, might just have to buy DVDs instead Title: Re: XVID for Dummies?

Takes your copy-protected DVDs and removes the encryption, shrinks them (you can choose the level of compression) and then either burns them to DVD or copies them to your hard drive. Nice, straight forward 'wrapper' application that brings together a number of other apps like DVD Decrypter and DVDShrink. Title: Re: XVID for Dummies?

If it was poor to start with, you aren't going to be able to improve it. lol..the XVID DVDs I made wouldn't work coz the image moved too slowly.
