thanks. the client already knows it looks horrible. . . and they’re ok with that. I was just wondering if there are any suggestions for which software I should use. I know there are a lot out there. Thing is, I use this crappy thing called “1st DVD ripper” and well, it sucks. Roxio capture… looks like it works fine but only outputs to an mpg which after effects then tells me is invalid and it can’t read.
