Getting higher quality from DVD-ripped DivX footage.. help

This forum is for video and audio help and discussion.

Actually re-reading that, you said 40mins PER EPISODE. Seeing as DVD 1X(the minimum needed to playback a DVD in realtime) is 1152KB/sec. It takes you two times longer then realtime to rip it. So that means your DVD drive is only outputting about 576KB/sec.

So you have a DVD drive that you can't even playback a movie on ? That sounds pretty shitty. Or if it's your hard drive, it's getting has slow as 576KB?

>_>

It all sounds fishy.

Depending on if the DVD I'm decrypting is encrypted or not, it takes me anywhere from 20 mins to an hour and ten minutes to decrypt. about 2 mins to make the D2V, 1 min to make the AVS, and then about an hour or so (Depending on how many AVISYnth filters I have) to compress.

You aren't counting Encoding Time. To Rip the VOBs it only takes about 5 minutes for a entire disc but that's only one step. I then extract the audio, 9 minutes on an 100 minute files. What really takes the time is the Encoding... 40-45 mintues to turn the VOB into an MPG.

That, and how often do you use the DVD audio in your AMVs? Tab, the guy probably just meant MPEG. But still, you can edit using the avs files.

Actually ^_^. It does take some time to prep footage. But waiting for a low quality divx file to download is insanely stupid.

Converting a series to MJPEG using the switch method. That can take quite a bit of time. But all you need to do is just setup a batch job and let it run over night, it's painless really.


But you stated "rip" footage >_> which lead me to believe it was the "ripping" process that was the bottleneck.

I know he meant mpeg :\
MPEG IS NOT FOR EDITING
its lossy, ugly, unless you encode at like > 5 mbps mpeg 2 which is what.. the dvd.. already is, and is intraframe
you dont edit with mpeg, mpeg is a compression for distribution

sorry, but its just >_< dumb!
