Hi forum Well, I've read this entire post and (being a newbie - I'm not making excuses) I got stuck on the NVC bit. I followed the instructions at the top of the post - downloaded 'dvdshrink', downloaded (and extracted) NVC (v.0.8.4.1 beta). I then ran the dvd (unencrypted) through dvd shink - seemed to work, producing VOB, ISO, files. Oh, that took about 90mins. Then (and here's where I'm stuck) I put the VOB files through NVC. Well it thought about it for a while, then 'said' "error, not supported, or not found" to the file I know is there - along with the rest of the VOB files. I left untoched the resolution, frame rate, and the other defaults. Anyone know what's happening??? Thanks.
