If you did that sonds like you ripped it into a vog orbis format, which is natively not compatible with windows, and you prob didnt rip it really either, just copied it.


Get mplayer for linux, it comes with an encoder/decoder called mencoder.

The after its installed run this :

mencoder dvd://1 -o filename.avi -oac pcm -ovc lavc

try that, check the man page for options, not sure if I got the syntax or options right, but that should give you a rip of the dvd in avi format with probably divx codec and pcm sound and start at chapter one of the dvd.

There's a TON of options with mplayer/mencoder........you can do prettymuch anything video playback or ripping related with it.

hmm...

1) What did you use to rip the file.

2) What was the file extension. .vok, or something else.

3) Do you want to convert using the linux or windows box?

I'm not sure what program sry
(some program in 2.4?not sure )

.vok

I want to convert using a windows box
