After reading all that, I think I will just stick with what I have. With
Pocket DVD, all I need to do is insert DVD into computer, let it look at
the DVD to find the 'movie' part of it, ask me where I want to save the
output to and that is it (I had already save the fps and sound information
eariler). I will just only have one or two movies on my memory stick at a
time then (instead of the four movies or 20 odd TV episodes of .avi).
Thanks for the input though.
