Thanks. I finally got it to work and was able to rip two of my favorite DVD's although it took a long time.

There's no included software to do it. The best way is the probably use SUPER, a collection of open-source and freely available tools to guide you through the process, then use Windows Media Player or the Creative software to send the ripped videos to your Zen.

I've had better luck with Fair Use than with iriverter. Might be because I'm converting TV shows, which have more than one episode on a DVD. iriverter would only recognize one (random) episode per DVD, while Fair Use recognizes all of them. I also found that, although the default converted file size using Fair Use is 700 MB, I can reduce that to 300-400 mb without noticeable loss of quality. Thanks to all the people who posted with info on DVD conversion!

http://iriverter.sourceforge.net/This is a free program, which is fairly simple. If you have trouble using the software, post a reply and I should be able to explain it.

Zhi:Thanks for all your great explanations.Maybe S.Pachella knows how to put both the pc and netbook on the same network, but I don't. Could you explain? Linking a pc w/DVD to the netbook seems like such a perfect approach. Thx.Gayle

Thanks you two for responding. Well, I bought a DTV, so my problem is solved. I guess I'm an old timer, 51 yrs. I used to think I was handy with all this when I dubbed some VHS tapes or loaded programs into a computer, or had my own FTP space to put pictures on eBay. But OH MY GOD!!! You've got to be kidding!?? I know younger folk will have a better handle on it all, but just looking at these manuals,... who do they think they're talking to? 'Nuff said

I really want to be able to add the thumbnail of my choice to my .avi files. One of the very first frames of the movies are usually shown and i would like to add an actually picture of the DVD so i know which movie it is by the picture. I am looking for a program similar to Audioshell, but thats works with aVI! please help!

Hey, I had the same problem getting DVDs onto my Vision. What you need are two programs that work with one another. AnyDVD and CloneDVDMobile. Do a Google search for them. AnyDVD actively disables the Copyright-protection on "any DVD" and CloneDVDMobile lets you choose what model MP3 player you have, what size you want to make the video, and what chapters off the DVD you want to convert. They give you a trial period that lasts about 20 days, so you'll have plenty of time. Check it out! And about getting videos period. I've aquired all my videos from media sites like extremefunnyhumor.com, ebaumsworld.com, and killsometime.com. Those sites typically have a link to be able to save the video onto your hard drive.

The question raised by Robert Jordan is also of interest to me. How can one transfer DVDs to Archos 7? What problems are we likely to encounter and how should we resolve them? What is the best software to load DVDs and Blu ray disks? Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

They are right. Download to computer and burn disc , I 'm not real computer literate as I have a problem viewing the disc on my tv. Which I blame on not knowing how to the right software to burn a DVD. But anyway, I wanted to add that you could also email the video as an attachment to your prof,

Would you mind posting the mencoder settings that you have settled on? I have lots of content in the form of MPEG-2 files that I would like to use on my Zen.Thanks!

I found some information today in the AVS forum on this topic and posted it here... Hi Guys, I just tried the following and it worked very fast: Nero Vision 5 (Part of Nero 8) Make DVD &gt; AVCHD Add Video Files Next Menus to use: Do not create menus Next Next - Audio Smart Encoding ratio: 100.0 % - Video Smart Encoding ratio: 100.0 % Write to Hard Disk folder This creates the same structure as the camera in a BDMV folder. Replace the BDMV folder on the SD card with this one and the camera plays it. To follow up on this, if you add clips back to the card/camera using the foregoing method, the clips DO show up in the thumbnails and you CAN take new video and the new video will just be added as separate clips/thumbnails. It works GREAT! Although the above instructions are for Nero and I've only tried it in Nero, I would imagine it *should* work with any video editor that allows you to create an AVCHD DVD without menus by saving the output file to the pc rather than to a disk and then just moving the resulting BDMV folder to the card/camera.

I stopped in at Ritz Camera today, I took my Flip to italy and have 45 mins I want to put on a DVD. I have next-to-none "technical" skills about burning my own, and I am okay with paying someone to do it. BUT....Ritz told me that they cannot burn DVD at this time as the software Pure Digital provided them does not work and Pure Digital is working to fix it. Has anyone else run into this????

Getting videos out of a DVR is beyond me. I rip my own DVDs with mplayer / mencoder and put them on my zen. mencoder is a command line tool for linux. it seems really daunting, but once you've figured it out and set up an alias or two for it, it's just a few short keystrokes away from ripping a dvd into a .avi file you can play on the zen.

This you use to digitize the video and you can use a DVD burning software to record multiple movies to one DVD. I think digitizing it is more helpful then put it directly to DVD. I never used the feature of putting it directly on DVD yet because I wanted to pick and chose what I wanted. Also if you want more than one movie on a DVD get larger capacity DVDs.

I put video's on mine by just right clicking on my video file and then selecting "Copy to Creative Zen Vision W" and then putting it in media. Much easier then I anticipated.

I have a 16GB Zen and I have almost filled up the memory. I purchased a 16 GB Transcend SD card to extend it, but it doesn't recognized the additional memory. Help!

Hi... I was in the same boat, but finally found the manual amongst the software that got downloaded to your PC when you installed the played. When I installed the software, I got a set of folders which included one named "Creative ZEN V Series (R2).. Go into that folder, and you will find a folder named "Manual", and in that folder is a 497 kb manual.chm file. Just click on that.

After reading over that page, I found that this does not support DVD menus. Hopefully this functionality will be added sooner rather than later.How difficult is it to switch between two video output sources if you are unable to see the menus?

Is it possible to make a DVD from this machine of shows you have recorded from Dish Network? Mine SHOWS to be recording, but when I play it back, the DVD is black / blank with no sound. (We have a compatable Samsung HDTV; all our components are run through a Yamaha sound bar system.) Do the disks (I'm using +R) have to be formatted first, or do they automatically format? Thanks in advance.
