Let me introduce a codec called Nero digital to everyone. Basicly the company nero took the mpeg 4 codec and modified it to make it there own and boy do they know how to. Once a DVD is encoded into this codec the quality is better than anything including XVID although it take 6-8 hours for 1 pass and 10 hours for 2 pases. For this guide we will be using DVD shrink and Nero Recode.
1.First extract the video by pressing Open disc
2.Select the actual disc
3.DVD Shrink will analize it and then u will make a designated folder for where u want it to be saved.
