I just got Premiere Elements in the mail (bundled with Photoshop Elements). I'm trying to do some edits--right now, just some test clips. The problem is, I can't get it to accept the AVI file I'm making. Once I installed Quicktime, it accepted an MPEG version, but the audio was out of sync, and the Help documentation said using MPEG can result in that. Of course, even without those problems, once I get to doing a full edit, I'm going to need AVI so I don't have junky picture quality. I first tried ripping the video with SmartRipper (although I'll probably end up giving DVDDecrypter a shot as well). I then tried encoding it into AVI with Super. I selected the ouput container as AVI, the output codec as DIVX, and then given the choice between ffmpeg and MEncoder, I have MEncoder (I have no idea what that means.). Could I have the wrong settings? Do I need to download a codec? Should I use a different encoder to turn the .vob file into an AVI file? Any help would be fantastic. Thanks!

EDIT: The error message I received is this: Unsupported format or damaged file/One of the necessary components may not have been installed. I don't know if that helps, but I just realized I didn't post it.
