there are programs that can do this, google it. i used 'free streaming audio ripper' as my search protocol. as for dvd encoding software, most dencoders prefer mpeg2/4 formats, though some can do avi files. again there are other options aside from upgrading. i currently use nero, but have had no luck with it, go figure. roxio has always been good to me however. for best bets you will have to spend some money or download illegal versions, but whos gunna stop you with that. cool:
