Well hi yourself. You are a friendly soul, aren't you? I like that in a person.:) Friend away, it's a compliment. As far as ripping, I'll tell you what I've used, but you could go to much more experienced vidders and get a better answer. For all the S&H vids I used Studio 9. I actually attached the dvd player to the comp and captured within the program. So, that's not much help. With the Alias Smith and Jones video, I used DVD2AVI, which is free. I don't know how well it works with pro dvds, actually, as the ASJ footage came from a friend who burned it from the Westerns channel. I know there's lots of programs out there to do the job. My best answer is to go to www.videohelp.com for some leads on programs to use. I love that place. There's something called FlaskMPEG that will do the trick, and it's listed there, but I'd check out other options listed there first. Oh, about my fiction. The drunken slash and the After Gillian arc are all part of the same story, so it's going in the zine. I finished it and it has been betaed. Next I'm doing the trash and bash Hutchinson story, which will also go in the zine. I'd be happy to post you another excerpt, but it will be a year or so before the whole story goes online. Kind of feels weird, saying that - like I'm using my story for bait or something. Hell, I'd just as soon send you the thing, but I guess I can't do that if I'm going to produce this zine, huh. I love that you pimped SH through my vids. I keep looking at the first two or three and thinking, uh, boring, but I must have done something right, huh? Good luck with the vidding, and I'll see you on the flist!
