d2a local then remote vob->avi

Open the .d2v file in a text editor. the first lines should be paths to the vobs you want to access. Change these so instead of "d:\path" they read "\\PC-A\path" You should really try the new NET features of . They only work for one-pass encodings (ATM), but it may be an impressive display of computing efficiency.

hakko504 I just tried your suggestion and I get 'File is not a valid dvd2avi project (v1.76, YUV2)!' error when I attempt within gKnot to open a d2v file which was created on PC-B using PC-D since my original post I've managed to remap PC-As 2nd disk to drive letter O:, network mapped PC-C and PC-D to use \\PC-A\O as O:\ - I can now run d2a locally on PC-A and open the d2v file on either PC-C or PC-D. Alas, never happy eh! I cannot usefully create the avs file on PC-D and run vob>avi part on PC-C, gKnot keeps the resolution, bitrate and audio params elsewhere [the gks file perhaps]. Realistically VNC is usually more than up to the job of letting me create the avs file on a remote PC.

to transfer gknot settings from on pc to another, just save a slot to a *.gks (gknot settings) file, then load this file with gknot on the other pc. wef.

thanks TheWEF for the tip, it's a very convenient way of transferring video settings from desktop to remote PCs .. but you already knew that :)
