    i'm not saying anything as she was obviously here sneakily pretending to be a PC newbie only to try to catch some of us out.
    Not too bad for us catching on quite early on, between ourselves i mean; i did start to wonder on her first post (i think i even commented on that first post to her, that i thought she knew her stuff after all and not to put herself down! LMAO the irony of it)

    I see you're having a productive day here. ;-)

    Back on topic, the state of the project is that still
    nothing with normal tools DVDDecrypter (actually that works
    fine) and DVDShrink.

    I have my set of files made by DVDDecrypter, I know where they
    are and what I need to do is get them into a viewable format
    yet.

    the test with Xilisoft worked ok but is painfully slow...
    a problem I may just have to live with until next build.


    So how to do the functions of Xilisoft on the whole job?
    I have a folder of files from DVDDecrypter that need to be
    converted into avi and burned to dvd.


    The avi files should be more compact than player-ready
    format. I have another documentary series that someone
    made for me: one set of three is on individual disks
    in player-ready format and the last one has the avi
    files all on one same sized dvd.


    This current job should be easier.


    So how to proceed with a program that can do the whole
    conversion rather than a 5 minute sample?

    @lon , sorry, the whole jane1 thing has been a bit strange, she's been on afterdawn pretending to be new to computers, and it was all an act.

    I'm sure Rotary can get you moving again as i never heard of Xilisoft

    That's in the this thread from the previous day-- all stuff
    I did yesterday. I just wrote that summary to say where I am
    on it.

    Other noobs must be going through the same stuff.

    rotary i was under the impression that lon's machine was under sourced .I still think it is but it has accomodated me with doing a simple conversion of a vob to avi.(it could of being anything but i chose xilosoft as the program, very similar to vso).nOW i want to see if lons machine will handle doing a re conversion with vso divx to dvd.

    If it does then instead of using the programs he has , use recode or a reauthor to see if we at least can get it to disc.

    394 meg of ram isnt DDR, but i am curious to see if its Edo or sdram that he is running and whether that is part of the overall prob.

    unless he is running DDR or higher like most people then there are going to be conflicts with the programs that he uses and that he is limited to what programs he can use and what outcomes he can get

    Sherman set the Wayback Machine to a couple days ago.

    I want to get my vob files of a documentary
    to dvd. My dvd shrink has produced kernel32
    system errors.

    I then tried that sample prog Xilisoft to make vob to
    avi files. Even the 5 minute sample was real slow.

    I want to get the vob file set into any viewable form,
    but preferably viewable as a standard dvd.

    I don't know why this one file set is producing
    all the errors.


    Does that bring everyone up to date on this?

    I thought the last question was what did I want to do...
    like someone came in here and hasn't followed what's
    been going on.

    So that was the description of where I've been and what
    I've done and what I want to do for the late-comers.

    Elsewhere, the mem. on this system is sdram not edo.

    @lon, we are finding it really hard to follow most of what you're saying.
    - we've been here from the start and we're not quite following.


    And we think your machine is too underpowered

    Ok, my machine is underpowered. Can't do anything about
    that at the moment. I've had a cpu go on this one before
    so it might be that.

    I'm ready to do a new build and trying to figure out
    a bargain solution: good quality Gigabyte or other board
    with an adequate cpu and vid card for current work
    but not state-of-the-art.


    While everyone cools off, I have a new piece of dvd software
    that a chum sent me. After I try that, I'll report on what
    happened.

    Well, I'm back but I don't know if replying to my own post
    works to get noticed.

    After a reinstall of DVDShrink nad a few runs of scan disk,
    I'm getting the same kernel32.dll error.


    I want to take this from a differnet angle which, in my
    ignorance I may have overlooked:


    At the DVDShrink screen with the compression slider on it,
    can I manipulate that to get the disk space needed down to
    below 4G? I can see how the adjustment works, but I've
    been using all defaults.


    Does the kernel32.dll error occur when a file that is too large
    is encountered? And will changing the compression provide any
    correction in this instance?
