Groundhog day #53

Pinnacle is being a bitch this morning ...... again.  Shocker, huh?  It was OKish yesterday in that it was slow at times but at least wasn't crashing, but this morning it crashes as soon as you try to add a clip.  I'm about 1m 20s into my SPN vid and haven't even started my SGA vids.  I'm trying not to get too wound up about it, so am off to play tennis then will try again after lunch.

Seriously, though, how patient have I been with this and how long have I tried to fix it?

Oy.

I never thought vidding could get so frustrating. I'm having my own ripping problems at the mo'. I really do want to chuck my laptop out the window...

I hope it starts behaving itself. :)

*hugs*

What program are you using???? because I've had nothing but one problem after another learning how to vid. :) I find various aspects of vidding frustrating but...it's worth the effort. :)

I used to use 1Click-DVD-Ripper, which was fine, but then I discovered XMPEG. I ripped the DVD using DVD Decrypter then converted the ripped vob using XMPEG. It worked really well and I was pleased with the end avi file...

...however, after I wiped my laptop (because it was just getting cluttered and needed a clean) and re-installed XMPEG, all it does is crash when I try to convert. No idea why.

When I reinstalled 1Click-DVD-Ripper, it worked, but the output file has a different quality and resolution as well as average file size to the ones I ripped previously, and I'm a pedantic little bugger when it comes to things like that!
