I've tried DVD2AVI, but I have better results with Flask, if the files
are smaller.
My problem with the smaller files is, that Flask doesn't output
sound data from the second file on, of my recordings.

I know that :-(

that's what I usually do

Yes, my problem is beeing harder, when more files come now on this disk.
Before i don't know, how to convert these files with best results, I
would let them stay on the disk.

I'll try it again with these standard 1GB Files...
