I'm beyond frustrated.:headache: My daughter owns a Mix Max, which she loves, and we'd like to convert some of the DVDs we already own to a format that the Mix Max can play. First, we tried forever to get the files converted on Microsoft Encoder, to no avail. We finally gave up. Several people said they'd had good luck with pocket dvd wizard, so I paid for the program and attempted to use it last night. First DVD, Ratatouille, it worked for about 2 minutes, then gave me an error message. Next, Princess Diaries. This one encoded til about 70%, I got an error message about the audio, I pressed continue, and when it was done, the playback video and audio didn't match at all. Next, Snow Buddies. Nope, the "extension didn't match the file format." Finally, Bambi II. This one gave an error message that sounded like it couldn't encode it because of copywrite. How do people have success with this? I'm at a loss. :confused3 Anyone out there have any wisdom?
 
I don't know about pocket dvd wizard...but I do know the Mix Max can make you absolutely crazy if you don't have an easy ripper. We use the following w/excellent results:

http://magicdvdripper.com/

It does take a bit of time, but is very straightforward. I believe there are 5 or so free trials as well.

I also saw Princess Diaries 1, Princess Diaries 2 and High School Musical 1 movie mix clips on clearance at Target for $10.
 
I love Magicdvdripper ....

It takes about 2-2.5 hours to convert a movie, but it is so easy.
 
I second the magic DVD ripper, It worked great for the samples. It didn't have any problems wiht any movies and it has a check box for the mix max so there aren't a lot of directions to follow. I will be buying the full thing soon.
 

Thanks for the replies. Ok, I'm convinced. I emailed pocket dvd's customer service with questions and to be fair, they replied very quickly. I tried to make it work once again with no luck, emailed again and they agreed to refund my money. I'll be trying magicdvdripper next.
 
Remember that pocketdvdripper give you a fully functional trial. You can download 5 movies to try it.
