Hello. I have searched this forum and I didn't quite find what I was looking for and I am hoping someone can provide some assistance. I have full Hoster program I have registered and is working well. I ripped most of my CD+G discs and they are good to go. However, I am having problems with my DVD discs.

First of all, here is what I have done. I had a large collection of LD Karaoke discs from the past. I have used DVD burner unit with HD and converted those into DVDs. They play fine on my Karaoke players do I know the files are good.

I look at the Hoster and didn't see any method of ripping DVD content directly so I used one of shareware program to try to convert them to various formats and try to import them in to Hoster and I am having some issues. I have tried 2 different .vob format, 2 different .mpg formats and 2 different .avi formats and none of them worked. Different formats were different codec used. For some formats, I can hear the audio but no video was showing.

So, I have a few questions. First, I noticed that when the video is playing, it's playing in a small window in my first desktop. The CD+Gs does play in my second desktop no problem. I couldn't move that window but was able to resize it. Is there a trick to moving that window to my second desktop?

Is there is prefer format and codec used for the video play back? Do you have any recommendations on what software to use to rip the DVDs in to those formats?

Thanks much in advance.
