The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

DVD Encoding Software - Best One?

Asked by nikolailazarev in Miscellaneous Software

Tags: , , ,

Hi,

I am using SONY VAIO LAPTOP, PENT 4, WIDESCREEN X-BLACK, WIN XP, SP2, graphics card: MOBILITY RADEON 9700. I would like to find the best software available to be able to 1). RIP (inc. PROTECTED) DVDs onto my HARDDRIVE and 2). Covert the RIPPED DVD contents into DIVX (MPG4) files (preferably where I can specify the size of the output file, for eg. like in AutoGK) for either storing them on my hard drive or for burning on 750mb CDs. I will need to burn quite a few DVDs so the more automated the process is the better. It is better if the program allows to rip-and-covert (to a specified file size/format) on-the-fly, or at least has an option of doing it on-the-fly.

It doesn't matter if the program is free or costs >$500 - what I need is reliability, ease of operation, user-friendly interface with lots of options preferably where I can allow for WIDESCREEN SUPPORT.
I'm currently using two progs: DVD Encrypter and AutoGK - they seem fine but the first one does not support widescreen and the second one has a slightly strange way of encoding whereby it activates ancillary programs such as Virtual Dub Mode. There must be better progs out there which allow for a better quality encode and are less "raw".

Someone recommened to download some applications from divx.com but I'm concerned the progs there may not deliver as they look at bit "beta".
So I'm turning to the experts to get the best advice. NB: I am not looking for a soft to CREATE DVDs, but rather to RIP them, I hope this is clear ;-).


thanks for your help!

Nik
