Problems with Eazy VCD
It's a free program to rip dvds to use for my amv making. On my laptop it worked perfectly, however took awhile. Now on my new desktop with LCD moniter, it goes much faster. However, the end result is a video quality that isn't very good. Even on the highest quality setting it still seems to come out with those boxes that you can see as the picture or characters move.
Does anyone have any suggestions or a solution to this? If not can someone reccomend an inexpensive program I can buy to replace it? thank you

Ok so I've tried it, but now it's ripped it into file types I can't use. Anyone know how I can rip it to mpeg or wmv files?topgamer101 wrote:I thought I tried that once with bad results, but I'll give it a try. Thank youKariudo wrote:how 'bout dvd Decrypter

You rip the disk w/ dvd decryptor
You then use VirtualDubMod to save the file in whatever manner suits your purpose. (EG: resize to 512x384 or 640x480)
Without going overboard, doing it this way has a lot of advantages, such as being able to filter your footage, cut out sound etc, plus you assure yourself that you're getting the best possible file that you can.

the way I see it, you can either have ease of use or superior quality and control.
it's a little more work, but most people would agree that the extra work is worth it.
I'm guessing that you encoded your avi files with divx or xvid...both of which are bad for editing. you can take clips in vritualdub(/mod) and encode those with a lossless codec such as huffyuv or lagarith.
you probably wouldn't have the space (or other cpu resources) to handle entire episodes encoded with huffyuv or lagarith.
for more info, check out EADFAG

I used VirtualDubMod. And I just want something that will rip perfect dvd quality files. That's it. (That and something that will actually load into my editing program)Kariudo wrote:the way I see it, you can either have ease of use or superior quality and control.

unfortunately it's often not that easy, if you want dvd quality it'l take some work.
But depending on the series, even "dvd quality" can suck (which then takes more work to clean it up and appear good)
EADFAG is a very good guide, and every program mentioned is free (minus the editing program...but you already have that)
