Hopefully someone can help me out here....I hope it will be ErMaC since he has the most experience in this matter. I've been moving towards DVD ripping since I'm a perfectionist and quality freak but my DVD rips seem to be grainy....I can't explain it...I've tried 2 different ASPI systems from different companys....Adaptec and this company called VOB....But I ended up going back to adaptec.....I've tried using Smart Ripper which I really like and DVD Decryptor which is also a great ripper.
I've tried MANY different settings with ASPI and without. I've also used DVD2AVI to open a VOB file DIRECTLY from the DVD and it's still grainy....I can't explain what it is...I've tried using my Blade II, Vampire Hunter D Blood lust, and Samurai X (Rurouini Kenshin OVA's). After seeing ErMaC's Tsugaru video I saw the quality and wanted to do that from now on for my source files. But it seems it isn't working too well for me...My computer specs are as follow:
Dual AMD MP 1800's
Geforce 4 TI 4600
2 Gigs of pc2100 DDR ram
Sony DVD-ROM DDU1621 (I believe it's 12X...maybe 10X...but doubt it...Althought it maybe 16X...not sure...I think it's 12 though)
Plextor Plexwriter 24/10/40 CD-RW
Tyan Tiger sp2466 motherboard
Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum
I don't know what the problem with this DVD ripping is....all I know is I've been working for OVER 8 hours now and still haven't come up with a result.. I was thinking it MAY be software DVD decoders but I'm not experienced enough to actually know if they can cause a problem...I installed Power DVD and it always gets illegal op's till recently...but then I uninstalled it and re-installed a newer version and the illegal ops are back....I also installed Orion Studios Direct DVD 4.77 and it installed some software DVD video and audio decoders but I uninstalled them thinking that may have been the problem........I've also ran the same ripping with the same software off my old PC which is a single processor and I got the same problem....My old pc specs are:
Intel PIII 933
512 MB RD ram
Matrox G450 Dual Head
Sound Blaster Live Platinum
Pioneer 10X dvd rom
Sony 10/4/24 CD-RW
....Well...That's all that comes to mind now reguarding this situation....I just hope that someone can help me with this situation...
