If anyone is interested, you may want to check out this very long thread at www.dvdrhelp.com . That is where I got my information while I was converting my LD's. I'll gladly give any information to anyone who needs help in converting there LD's to DVD. The thread is here: It is quite a long read. I would mainly look at the last 10 pages or so. I've been an active member there for a few years, so it was easy for me to keep up with. What I also did was click on the printer friendly button and save the whole thread as a Word file and edit out the posts that I didn't need. There are people there just as upset as we are about the whole situation.

I actually bought the LD Player and LD's in Nov. 2002, but I wasn't too successful in getting any of them made until I bought a Canopus ADVC-100. I was having sound sync issues before I bought that jewel. I attribute the problem to my cheap built in soundcard though.

Once I got started, I was able to finish all 3 films in a month and a half due to my work schedule and occassional laziness.

I hope this information helps.
