    1. Why occour a message: 'MPEG2Dec: Error during decoder initialisation' or 'unable to read from E:\VIDEO_TS\vts_01_1.vob' everytime I put any DVD in?

    First, Check that you select the correct DVD driver. If not, please select the correct DVD driver path.
    Second, quite a few users encountered this error and have solved by using PQ DVD to iPod Video Converter or dvdXsoft, Xilisoft DVD to iPod Converter. Plz download to try out.

    2. Audio is out of sync with the video or no audio

    There are several posts which says audio is out of sync with the video or no audio at all when they used videora ipod converter, cucusoft dvd to ipod converter or pqdvd dvd to ipod video converter. It seems that there is no software can work well for ALL users and ALL DVDs.
    In fact, you might as well resolve the problem trying the following one by one.
    A. DVD to iPod Converter: Click "Setting -> Input settings". (a) Check "Audio/Video Synchronisation". (b) Set "Deinterlace filter" to "None". (c) Set "Output frame rate" to other values.
    B: iPod Video Converter: Click "Advance", change 'framerate' to 23.976 or 29.97 in 'Video settings'.
    If it doesn't work, might as well change a DVD movie to test. If still doesn't work, try another software.
    * PQ DVD to iPod Video Converter also works well for some. Download it from http://www.goripper.com/download/pqdvd_ipod.rn.exe to try out. Load your DVD movie, set the mode you'd like to rip, and Click 'Record it'.
    * Xilisoft DVD to iPod Converter and iPod Video Converter are also good. Download it from http://www.goripper.com/download/x-dvd-to-ipod-suite.zip . It is very easy to use, open your DVD or video files you'd like to convert, click 'convert' button.

    Just updated a problem iPod users maybe encountered. As follows

    If during the converting period, an error message came up that said you did not have some DivX Pro codec supported software installed and refused to go any further, please download the free DivX codec from and install. After installing, run the DVD to iPod converter, click "Settings -> Output settings", choose "DivX 6.0 codec" from "Codec", and click "Ok", then start converting.
