218874 2004-02-28 23:42:00 I'm ripping video off my digital video camera, but there are so many different formats and codecs that I don't know which one to use. for example when I rip some video in Pinnacle studio, pinnacle will play it perfectly but BSPlayer doesn't. what programs do you all use? tango (2697)
218875 2004-02-29 00:35:00 I use mencoder, but thats a Linux app, so probably not much use.

Try ripping as mpeg1 for un-compressed, or use DivX or XviD 4/5 for higher compression :-)

Hope this helps

218879 2004-03-01 03:40:00 If you wont the greatest chance of playback on other computers then encoding with MPEG1 with mpeg sound.

If your cam-corder has a WDM / MCI / TWAIN driver I would recomend media player classic as it has a VERY simple record interface, but still enough "tweak" options..
