I use AnyDVD as the deprotector which I always found works great but my question is:

I have imported a Nintendo Play-Yan from Japan for my GBA and want to rip straight from DVD to ASF format, tried lots of stuff incl. 1 Click DVD Ripper which supposedly do the job but fail miserably.

I can Rip the DVD first to AVI/MPG and then user the Panasonic derived Nintendo software to compress to the correct output, this however takes way too long and I want to be able to Rip / Encode in one easy step.

Anyone got any suggestions?

This is the output format I am after:

Video Specifications:
File Format: ASF (SD-VIDEO Standard)
Video Format: MPEG-4 Video
Screen Resolution: 240x176 (QVGA)
Bit Rate: 480Kbs
Frame Rate: 30fps
Sound Format: Bit rate - 32kbps; Sampling rate - 8kHz

With ideally the option to select either:
High Quality - 240x176 480Kbs 30fps
Medium Quality - 240x176 352Kbs 30fps
Low Quality - 240x176 224Kbs 15fps

I have also found some other Japanese software that encodes from AVI/MPG etc. to ASF but is not as good quality as the MediaStage by Panasonic. I just cannot yet find anything for DVD > ASF

forward this to my email address, i'll pass it to my team. I've been writing reviews, how-to's, and faq's for over 10 years now, we'll find a way if there is one =)

I am puzzled why do you need it forwarding when you can copy it off the screen?

Try "DVDtoASF.exe" version 2.0.9

And I suggested sending an email for this reason, I don't get back to the same page for days, weeks, or even months.

Just curious, if "not really an AnyDVD question" why post in the AnyDVD forum????

Hey and guess what! you can now rip to Play-Yan using CloneDVDMobile.

Time and tide...and all that.
