I just started using DVD2SVCD myself to rip an anime dvd (100 - 125 min) to SVCD and normally takes around 2.5 to 3.5 hrs on High setting to rip, encode and burn a DVD on my P4 1.8A@2610 1GB Samsung PC2700@181mhz 30GB IBM 75GXP drive Leadtek 64MB GF4 Ti4200 Pioneer 16x DVD 106s LiteON 32x CDRW have you ever gotten a dvd whos IFO file doesn't report the full movie length but only the chapters ? how do you get around that ? because i have this dvd which only shows the length of each chapter and not the full dvd so when i rip it, it only rips the first chapter :( thanks in advance :D
