another question for u computer guru's...

i have a few dvd's dat do not convert to mpeg4.. i mean they do, but can't be played back. just makes buzzing noises with no video.

is there a work around for this? i think it has something to do with it being copy protected or maybe even region? (japanese dvd's).
i have a dvd player drive set up for j-dvd's so it's not the reader.

thanks

I am guessing regional coding is at play if it works int he J-land player.
I am not sure what ripping software you use but you might find a setting to strip the regional coding as you convert it to mpeg4

It has been a very long time since I ripped any DVDs But I think the program I used was DVD Fab (paid) or something like that.
