    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.

    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

I did try isquint, i gave it a go but it i got an error when i dropped the avi onto it and i left it for half an hour and it never moved from starting process.

Edit: I just figured out what the error message i got in isquint was for it came up because i was saving file i wanted converted in the same folder, a feel daft now but the error wasnt clear about what was wrong!!!

thanks anyway
