I have some old VCR tapes I want to transfer to DVD. I have a VCR/DVD combo recorder that I can dub VCR to DVD. How can you convert the DVD to *.avi files or Windows Media Player files so I can e-mail them to my family? I googled this and found an opensource Windows .exe program "handbrake" and "handbrake" in linux but couldn't get either to run.
Has anyone tranfered a DVD to *.avi or WMP files?
Some whole series. Simple answer: don't. .avi is b0rken by design. Use the Matroska (.mkv) container. And, for converting the DVD, handbrake is _just_ the tool. Works like a charm. What did not work? Have you installed all dependencies? Oh, and where did you get handbrake from? From Packman? -dnh -- No trees were destroyed in the sending of this message, however, a significant number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
