$$$$ Green_Boss $$$$ preffer'd choice is

i use   DVDX   'verison 2.2'   other versions 1.6/1.7/1.8.

1. pop dvd in dvd drive and play using powerdvd/windvd for 10 to 15 secs to unlock.
2. pause.
3. start DVDx2.2
4. open the dvd root ..it should auto pick longest track.
5. check input options ... suggest upping 'volume' level to 5 instead of 3.
6. output settings ... pick 'Video CD(MPEG1)
7.  pick zoom=(letter box)  and hit 'whole' movie button
8.  volume don't exceed ...pick 74min vcd or 80min vcd
      (( DVDX will auto cut the MPG's so not to exceed ..IE GIVE YOU TWO PARTS ))
  or pick infinite ..and chop later.
9. select destination ..folder and filename
10. hit the record button
11. go to sleep and wake up to a converted dvd to vcd mpg
12. burn the mpg(parts) to videocd formated disk using NERO ( roxio or vcdeasy ).

........ use TMPEGenc tools to split infinite created mpg.
