Simple way to rip DVDs into DivX (Avi)?
- Thread starter Deepak
- Start date
Ok, I downloaded and installed AutoGK. Please forgive my ignorance, even after reading the tutorial I can't figure out which file to take as input? I have ripped my DVD to HD using DVD Decrypter. And how can I get a single avi file? And how to get subtitles? Can it be disabled while watching the avi?
The VOB files can be taken as input, or the IFO for the movie which is usually _1.
You have to read some guides.. and experiment just to get a basic understanding of what you are doing.

I used a program called DVDx to do my VOB backups - I dont know if it supports subtitles however.

There is also XMPEG but this program is pretty daunting if you are just starting out.

I'm trying to convert some divx/xvids to svcd using the latest tmpg version and I'm gettin no audio
The first one virtual dub said the vbr audio stream was messed up (played fine?) so what was ok so I outputted the wave from it (it fixes it) and tmpg said it didn't suppport it when I used it at a audio source
But the second file was perfect according to virtual dub but no audio either and it thinks it's 62 minutes long (its a south park ep.. 20~ minutes long).
wtf?

Sounds like you have some badly editied files. Try Avi2DVD.
I coverted "The Day After Tomorrow" DVD into avi using AutoGK, I used default settings. The output avi was 1.38GB (compared to 7.28GB for original DVD). BUT, there is a problem, there is no sound...all other files are playing with sound. I used AC3 6ch for audio. Help.
Edit1: The conversion took 3hrs, 11 mins and 54 secs.
Edit2:
I am downloading both, should I install both? And while doing future conversions should I opt for AC3 6ch audio?

Ok, Installed ffdshow and now I can hear the sound BUT still problem, the sound is kinda way too 3D, I can't hear the spoken dialogues properly, they are low volume but I can backgound/extra sound properly. Did I make mistake by opting for AC3 6ch? Should I have opted for AC3 2ch or may be mp3? What is the difference between wide and letbox subtitles?
when using autogk, be sure to select CBR audio. VBR (of which ABR is a subtype) audio in AVI is a hack and only works because of a few quirks in AVI file handling, and may or may not work in future Windows. If you want to use VBR audio, use a different container format such as OGM or MKV.
Yeah. You're right, of course. Force of habit, I guess, and I haven't had any problems with AC3filter myself. Had some issues with ffdshow (couldn’t get it to coexist peacefully with AC3ACM I think) way back, though, but available documentation is much better now, and the UI is less daunting. Never bothered to find out if it was user or program error since other options worked without hassle at the time.radeonic2 said:
