Mobility Site - View Single Post - GUIDE: High Quality WMV for your PPC

OK, I'm wondering what on earth I could have wrong here. I had originally been doing a 2 step process going VOB->AVI, and then using WME to go from AVI-WMV but that takes so long and it's so iritating. So using this guide, I installed WinDVD7 trial (which according to some will expire and void this method), installed AC3filter, rebooted.

When I open the VOB with WME it takes about a minute as expected, but refuses to encode more than 1:15 mins. from a 11 minute file. Even if I try to force the Mark In-Out option longer it tells me that setting is invalid. Fails with either 2 pass or 1 pass.

Is it just my VOB file, or is this whole WinDVD, AC3filter thing a bit messy?

And does anyone care to want to comment on why M$ just doesn't fix WME9 to be able to handle MPEG2(VOB) files diretly without a hack? These are unencrypted files anyway!

Thanks!
