I basically use Trilight's method and what's weird is I've backed up at least 50 movies and this has never happened. Here are my basic steps: Rip with Smartripper as backup Use DVD2AVI/Force Film/Demux all Audio Use VFAPIConv to convert from index to virtual AVI Input AVI to CCE 6.62/DVD complient/No audio/Multipass VBR *this is where resolution changes to 720x576* Use Pulldown to prepare file for Maestro Use ChapterXTracter to get chapters Import to Maestro M2V and ac3, add chapters and so on I have tried using the index that DVD2AVI makes OR the one from Smartripper amd then CCE. BOTH times, after CCE the resolution is changed to 720x576!! I checked with Bitrate viewer the VOB or demuxed m2v and they are ok - 720x480, but AFTER CCE it changes to 720x576. I don't get this. I tried editing the m2v with DVDPatcher to force it to 720x480 but that just messes it up to not playback right on a settop player. Ideas please? This is very weird. Ash
