I have some experience with this, but only under Windows :( I have just begun looking for Linux tools, but haven't had the time to check anything out yet. If anyone else has suggestions I'd be interested as well.
As far as codecs go, DivX produces watchable results for me, but I usually go for a file size around 700MB and then burn them to a CD-R. I suppose you could get down to 300MB as long as you are willing to sacrifice more sound/video quality. If you are looking for an open source codec www.theora.org has one that is based off of the VP3 codec, but it is still alpha AFAIK. Erich Hohman -----Original Message----- From: Todd A.

I'm looking for a tool that will allow me to convert some of my DVD's to MPEG (or whatever, so long as the result is less than 300MB per movie) for portability when I'm on the road. I'm not sure how I feel about DivX, but I'm pretty sure that would meet the technical requirements. What are my other options? -- "Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again." - Unknown _______________________________________________ RLUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.rlug.org/mailman/listinfo/rlug _______________________________________________ RLUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.rlug.org/mailman/listinfo/rlug
