Hello,
I'm using the following aximsite tutorial to attempt to prepare a DVD to play on my X50 which arrives Monday. The link to the tutorial is here:
www.aximsite.com/articles/link.php?id215
I figured I'd try this method because I already have and am familiar with Shrink. While I was able to get a movie in the correct format to play on the X50, I did have 1 problem and 1 question.
Problem - Following the tutorial, it says at the end that "if the DVD is full screen, then the format is 320*240." This is the default setting and I succesfully did this. The problem is that 95% of my DVD's are widescreen. The tutorial goes on to state "if the DVD is 16:9 then the format is 320*180."
The problem is when I go to change the ratio from 320* 240 to 320*180 as soon as the box to do this opens the program immediately shuts down (never fails). Thus, I have only been able to do the widescreen movies at the full screen format. Has this happened to anyone else? Anyone know a fix? I'm using PocketDivXEncoder Version 0.3.50
Question - When using Shrink, when it gets done ripping the files I get the message "Burning did not complete successfully! However all output files were successfully encoded, and they are ready for burning with appropriate DVD burning software. DVD-Video Files Reallocation Failed." Then a whole bunch of technical stuff I won't list here. I just ignored this message figuring it simply was saying it recognized that it failed to write the files to a DVD. Shrink does create the one big VOB file which I then open in PocketDivXEncoder so I figured all must have went fine up to that point. Any thoughts?
Again, my main concern is the problem with PocketDivXEncoder closing as described above. Any suggestions to fix this?
Thanks a ton for any suggestions!
Chris
