I apologise if this has been asked before. I am a complete novice when it comes to DVD ripping, copying and making VCDs. What software do you need in order to do the following and how do I do it? I have numerous music DVDs from which I would like to copy particular tracks onto the hard disk and then copy the various tracks onto vcd. Thanks for any advice given.
First, you should find out if your DVD player will play SVCD. SVCD is DVD quality on a CD-R disc. You can also maintain your Dolby Digital sound with mpeg-2(SVCD format) since your dealing with music videos. Then follow the steps in the following guide: http://www.afterdawn.com/articles/archive/dvd2vcd_with_smart_dvd2avi_tmpgenc.cfm Once you have created your mpeg files, you can use Nero CD burning software http://www.nero.com to create your compilation on SVCD or VCD.
