If you're using a two pass mencoder type method, couldn't you just do it step by step with a tea break? Pass one, have a cuppa, maybe some toast, read a book if it's really hot, then run pass two. This howto is very good, ignore the "emerge" stuff, that's gentoo specific, the Ubuntu equivalent is: sudo aptitude install mencoder The HowTo: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Rip_DVD_mencoder Just follow the stuff under Xvid and ignore all the H264 stuff for now. > Its prob a long shot...but i thought worth a try!!! Always worth asking, you never know who has been through the same thing and figured it out. -- Gav Ford [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://revford.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk I think we need to: Calibrate the kettle deflector
