I wanted to test today's ripper software, so I took a DVD and decided to convert it to windows media format.
The ripper churned along and it finally got done. I opened the result and there was no video, only audio. This has happened to me before because of missing codecs, so I tried the four or five players I have and they all played only audio. I started to look for missing codecs but I have K-lite, DivX, Gspot, ... so I started to go crazy.
I decided to start from the beggining, so I went back to the ripper and I noticed that I had chosen .wma instead of .wmv for output. What an idiot.
At least I know that part works fine :(
