sabOkay, I am embarking on a massive undertaking in an attempt to bring thirtysomething to the people. I have these DVDs that were made by someone who had recorded the episodes off of their Lifetime rerun airings, and assembled these onto DVDs with interactive menus, four episodes at a time, for 24 dvds total.
So, first, do you have a favorite DVD-to-avi ripping program that allows you to select individual episodes or chapters off an episodic DVD and rename them into individual .avis? I am currently using Aimersoft DVD Ripper, which does all those things quite splendidly but also outputs the avis with these weird bars on the sides. I'm figuring there's an option I can choose to get rid of the bars, but I am always up for trying new software. Those of you who have ripped shows from DVDs to avi, what have you used? Was it fast? Intuitive? Expensive?
Also, the guy who made these DVDs I'm using left off the episode titles on many of the discs, and didn't indicate episode number or season at all, so for that I'm cross-referencing with a Thirtysomething episode guide, and when all of this is done, I hope to have the entire 87 episodes of thirtysomething, broken down by season, in individual episode .avis, for youuuuuuuuu.
Your mission, should I survive and this task be completed, is to WATCH this show, to love it and share it with me.
This may take quite some time, but I'm committed to the task and will have this show available to you, STAT. Watch this space.
