I have Movie Studio 8.0 and if I make an MPEG 2 File it plays ok.

Now I also have Next DVD Ripper Free and Actusoft Free DVD Ripper and wen I Ripped a DVD I always pick convert to MPEG 2.
And it works but wen I play the MPEG 2 file back a window comes up that tells me One Or More Pins are missing and you may not have the CODEC to play back the file??

This only happens wen I make an MPEG with Actusoft Free DVD Ripper and Next DVD Ripper if I make an MPEG 2 file with Movie Studio 8.0 it plays back ok????

I thought that the MPEG 2 CODEC for compresson was there for any program that would need it so if Movie Studio used it why is Actusoft Free DVD Ripper and Next DVD Ripper having problems???

Or is this not how it works??

If you are ripping unencrypted personally-created material that you own, there are better free alternatives than the ones you mentioned. DVD Shrink is but one of them. VideoReDo is a paid solution that has many additional features for this kind of work.

If you are intent on ripping copyrighted commercial DVDs and importing them into Vegas, this is really the wrong place to discuss this. The reason is, many Vegas users on these forum are professionals who make their livings by producing copyrighted commercial content for delivery by several means, DVD being one of them.

Thanks for clarifying.
For me, VideoReDo Plus has been the best solution for this kind of work. Cleans up the VOBs, re-indexes the GOPs, and fixes any bad frames.

What program are you using to play the mpeg2 files that is giving you this error?
