    You may only be missing some codecs. Try download and install K-Lite Codec Pack (full or mega version) from this site.

    Good luck!

    Not a codec problem? Hmm, in that case try Power Video Converter or Advanced X Video Converter.

    Good luck!

    With X Video Converter, try set video to xvid and audio to mpeg layer 3. Also, which media are you using for viewing?

    Converting the dvd into avi is not a bad choice 'cos that would give you good compression ratio.

    That I'm not sure. Maybe you can post the question at the appropriate forum?
