Problem with DVD to AVI DivX MPEG Ripper 2.1.1 software
I installed DVD to AVI DivX MPEG Ripper 2.1.1 software using Jan2005 Digit DVD. If I click that EXE, the software is not running.
Can you point me the problem?
Is there any s/w related to this one?

some points i wod like to point out
PAGE QUALITY worst than ever
why where the socket 939 baseb mobo+proccy not reviewed
is there any tie up with INTEL [i dun mind the intel ads on the left hand side of all the review pages] whts the use comparing intel 3.4 ghz cpus with amd 64 3000+
y DIGIT y ?? where are those tabloid reviews of all the reviewed products like u did a year before
u just reviewed mobos+ proccys given by the companies. has this been the same before. i feel that just not reviewing something just because they were not given by the manufacturers for free was wrong on the DIGIT part. c'mon guys wht we want from u'll is a review of everything which u can which are available in the market
as a TECH mag which quote the TECHNOLOGY NAVIGATOR, u shld be ahead of times in wht u review, i so expected the s939 based proccy and mobos, it is quite disappointing
other contents in the MAG were good enuf and were well written
BYTE said the POP WW review was with words. as i can see it was a wordly review but wht good a review is if they dun mention the minimum system requiremens for the game to run
the CD/DVD contents were good but most of us dont buy the mag for the cd/dvd buy for the mag contents.
if someone from the DIGIT team answer some of the questions i asked, it would be worth appreciating
there are so many ppl not happy with the reviews off late, especially everyone wants tht tabulated kinda review thing back and a more detailed thorough review of the product and not some in general review of the products
and year kudos to whoever selected all the wallpapers !!

Got it 2day. Pretty good work across the board.
@Sourabh - it's clearly mentioned that it's a mid-range mobo+procy review. Clearly 939 mobos don't fit into that category just yet - this was mentioned in the beginning of the review.
In fact with the exit of the XP's even the term "mid-range" seems like a joke - best vfm combo comes for 11K. With an XP u cld easily get the best combo for waaaay under 10. Neway.:roll:
And BTW I don't see how anyone could suggest a tie-up with Intel. AMD emerged winner in all the tests (except video encoding, which was expected)! And the comments, except in the beginning of the review, were all in favour of AMD. In fact unless ur a conspiracy theorist, u prbbly wouldn't even have noticed those "comments" in the beginning of the article. Hell u wldn't have cared for the ones inside as well!
Before I go any further, Digit isn't paying me.
PoP Review was nice. But as Sourabh ritely pointed out, the min req were missing. (However, considering that every damn game needs an X850 + FX55 + 2gigs'o'RAM to play smoothly, even that might be forgiven!) How about including a video review as well next time, on the DVD? That would be uber-cool, and probably a first for Indian mags! (Got the idea from the notebook video review, haven't seen it yet tho)
And also, if possible try to bundle the review, and a demo in the same issue. It would be a li'l bit of a trouble, but a nice touch. 8)
I didn't exactly observe how the page quality was, and as usual I skipped the Digital Business segment, so no comments there. :yawn:
And I haven't seen the CD/DVD yet, but methinx it would be better if u provided some 'exclusive' content on the CD. This's been suggested a million times b4 by numerous 4um members, and not without reason. Those with a 'vanilla' optical drive should be made to feel a li'l special as well. lolz.
P.S: Just read the "diary". Congrats Raaabo! U didn't tell us m8! Everybody spam his inbox!

huh wtf
they always used to review p4 3 ghz then p4 3.2 ghz which costed more than 37k even one year back
then in their A list they use to mention cpus and mobos costing way out of normal ranges
even in reviews before they considered all the mobos and cpus
then y not this time
y do they review graphic cards worth rs 40 k then ??
they can review AMD 64 3000+ but not 3200+ y baby y??
when did digit start caring so much abt the budget users ??
theres no doubt in my mind that 'someone' doesnt wanna make this AMD 64 v/s P4 stats common
man only reason DIGIT dint review the s 939 mobos is that INTEL doesnt wann common INDIANS to get aware that wht they buy at dirt cheat i.e 915 mobos + 3 ghz HT proccys can easily be overshadowed by amd 64 bit proccy and mobos
DIGIT & INTEL have a tie up to say this in the mildest of terms
kudos to DIGIT anyways
keep up the good work

Y then and not now? Bcuz this time it was, quite specifically, a mid-range shootout.
But I don't understand why the 3200+ wasn't reviewed. Don't think the price diff is much.
But then if the 3200+ were reviewed, then why not the 3400+ as well?
But anyway, except in the CINEBENCH test, the 3000+ beat the P4 in all the other tests! And the AMD sys'es won both the Gold and Silver Best Buy tags! So there ain't no room for a conspiracy theory. At least I don't see any.

darn ur fightin each other on the behalf of digit
yeah we get it was only a "MID RANGE" shootout
but thats precisely it
why only mid range
we always had a low/mid and high end shootout
i was lookin forward to seeing more of nForce 4. ..
and yeah the shootout did definitely disappoint due to the exclusion of these

dang!!
y only midrange thats the question ??
when u say urself 'THE TECHNOLOGY NAVIGATOR' one has to be ahead of times
also do they plan to review them in the near future ??
last review of mobo+ proccy was abt 1 yr back
so if the same is gonna happen again dont u think nf4 and s939 wod become common
they can review 925 mobos which cost a hefty 15k rs
y isnt MID-RANGE review only, done with laptops , TFT's, GRAPHIC CARDS, mobiles, smartphones and other products
cmon guys nforce 4 and socket 939 is the only best option for any one who wanna buy a new system
and besides the price gap aint much considering one can even get a a8n SLI for Rs 12.5 coupled with a 3000+ for 6.8k
i guess the definition of mid-range is changing. even moderate users wod like to buy a good mobo and proccy and compromise on other things because things get common, and obsolete so fast
i am only waiting for some DIGIT guys to answer this

PROC + CPU test:
It was mid-range only this month. A high-end shootout is Coming Soon. I don't see how you could even see an Intel bias - Intel has money for the ads, AMD doesn't - is the best that your imagination should come up with; especially considering that AMD beats Intel in all but one set of benchs (which is HT and SSE tweaked as pointed out in the article)...
VIDEO REVIEWS OF GAMES:
I so want to do this for this month but Feb is small, time is flying and deadlines are approaching fast. Wish me luck over the weekend and maybe you will have your wish granted.

2 DVDs they should also provide 2 cds .
they should understand that most of the users has only cd romes installed .
they will loose their customer in long term.
most of my friends are opting for Chip as they see that from last 3 months digit is only providing 1 cd.
