• Advanced
  • VHQ checked
  • XviD checked

This yields a ~2hr movie @ ~225±10MB and a 1hr tv ep @ ~95±5MB.

You didn't ask, but the programs I use are:

1. cladDVD.NET (to rip from DVD)
2. DVD2AVI (to convert to AVI)
3. VirtualDub (to reencode it in XviD & sound I like)
4. PocketDivXEncoder (to shrink it to Qable size)

Hope this helps; keep the rubber-side down.

I use pocket dvd, but I'm going to try a few of your suggestions - No reason you shouldn't have a back up plan...

To be fair, it can take up to 9 hours just to completely convert one (movie) file to be Qable. Both DVD2AVI & VirtualDub reencode one frame at a time. A lengthy process, to be sure, but I'm a bit fussy that way. I like my bittorrents et al just so, ya know?

I'm more interested in any suggestions anyone has on buffering with tcmp while trying to play you tube videos. It will play for a few secs and then buffer then play and buffer. What can I do here? I have no issues with movies I play with tcmp just you tube stuff. My current buffering settings were all default and are:
1184 - Normal size
3 - Preload at underrun
64 - Preload audio.
Maybe the buffering settings aren't what's getting me here. I thought when I uninstalled the program after I tweaked it and reinstalled everything life would be good again..I was wrong.
