12a and maybe a DVD
Ripper.
First extract the DVD2AVI.exe and the DVD2AVI.vfp to a folder.
Then install TMPGEnc 12a to a folder. Also download the TMPGEnc
VFAPI 0.11.20.98 to the same folder and run the .bat file.
Note: DVD2AVI doesn't convert the MPEG2/DVD/SVCD
to an AVI, it's just makes so you can open it in TMPGEnc.

DVD2AVI.
Make sure that you have the DVD2AVI.vfp. (place it in the same

junk in the start).
