ripping mp4 with K9Copy

[gehentogo]

I've searched for hours about my problem, and can't seem to find an answer. This makes me think that I am missing something simple in the process, so bear with a stupid question:

I am trying to make mp4s with K9Copy. Should be simple enough, just insert DVD, make sure settings are correct, and punch the MP4 button. Voila!

Problem is, all I get is an avi file that won't burn to a video CD.

I would like these files to work on my iPod.

The other problem is that these avi files are HUGE! I have maximum size set to 700MB, but the avi files I get are 1.7GB or so.

When I punch the MP4 button, a box comes up that asks me to name the file and where to save it, but the only thing I can call it must end in .avi.

Anyone know how this is supposed to work?

Thanks a million.

Re: ripping mp4 with K9Copy

I'm with you. Well, first of all you need to change the save settings to mp4 and not avi. I'm in the same boat as you. It will go through the whole ripping process but I get no output at the end. I have a palm pre and would like a few movies on the phone.

I am looking for guidance. I've gone as far as installing xp via virtualbox, mounting the dvd iso and running win software to do the ripping, but damn there must be an open source equivalent.

Palm T|X is a great PDA. Now, Palm made a departure with the Pre. It only supports H264, H364, and mp4. Does acidrip do anything other than divx?

Re: ripping mp4 with K9Copy

I have used vobcopy and a script named 'mp4ize' to complete this. I haven't done it in about a year and I think some of the repositories have changed. It's not a gui based method and it does require two steps, but it worked rather quickly.
