Vobedit to demux audio and video from vobs , then besweet to convert , maybe ac3 5.1

Other stuff

Ifoedit for quick muxing , or muxman
The gimp for creating still menu images
Dvdauthorgui for creating basic dvd from video , audio , and still's
Pgcedit , the new powerfull editor , feature packed , dvd command editor
Batchdemux to demux mpegs and audio into seperate components for later editing / conversion
Blender , if you fancy yourself at creating menu's similar to those found in titles like terminator 3
Ac3filters , required by some programs
If nero engine installed , use imagetools to burn dvd , simpler
Dvddecryptor , dose what it says ...

Think it covers it all

Besweet is pretty easy provided rules are applied to .

Audio for dvd should be 48khz for dvd compatabilty
For conversion to ac3 5.1 , this option should be check first before conversion starts , or no 5.1 .

The problem with guides to nero burning for dvd is there are differences between versions , this is why imagetool makes it simpler for people .

Ifoedit can open video_ts.vob , even from dvd drive , and playback title , ac3filters required for audio playback , use this method to check for dvd menu errors prior too burning dvd's , if error , open using pgcedit (from hard drive files only) , and edit commands , retest , if happy , burn with image tools .

Forgot one more ... dvdshrink , use it for projects that need an adjustment to fit on dvd media ..

You get the works , and all for free .

When I try to convert my DVD to WMV format, or other PPC options, the program simply and quickly shows "Complete" for the conversion. But the output files are only in a few KB, apparently not playable. Why? i use imtoo dvd ripper platinum.

This document will show you how to convert DVD movies to Zune Video / Movie formats MP4, MP4 AVC and WMV. After these simple jobs, you can joyfully enjoy your DVD movies on the Zune Player.

3. You can convert your whole DVD by highlighting the title which contains the whole episodes of DVD, such as the title 01 in the following screenshot. Or if you like, you can select certain chapters to convert: Press "Show Chapters" button on the interface to find all the chapters in the file.

Well, Imtoo dvd creator is a good choice.
Now it update to V3.0, it add more features in its new vertion:

Video Trim - any parts of input video file can be selected and trimmed as you wish Added in V3.0

Menu Edit - support adding or editing the background picture and music (almost all types of music formats) at will

Computer's status after the whole DVD creating(video converting and DVD movie burning) is selectable - No matter how long the whole DVD creating takes, you can select the computer's status at the very beginning, such as "Shut Down", "No Action", "Standby", "Close Application" etc, the computer's status will be automatically changed to the chosen after the whole conversion.  (get more information here:http://www.imtoo.com/dvd-creator.html )

A major update, right?

I must admit I had stopped using ImToo and gone back to Nero.
ImToo  was seriously lacking features and seemed quite slow, But just used the new version its a huge improvement , far superior appearance, still very easy to use/navigate, seems to be improved speed of conversion, definatly uses far less dvd disc space than Nero so far I am very happy with
the new version and will move back to ImToo.

So I post these here, Hope the feedback helps and more people could get the useful software.

I had the same experiences to you.I had tried a lot of convertion software,also including what you said,but I found some one convertion time is too long,and some other produce large files.Now ,I found a software :moyea,It gives fast speed an hign quality,perfectly!
