DVD2AVI

Postby Wyverex » Sun Sep 01, 2002 10:47 am

I finally found the ultimate way to ripp DVD off : DVD2AVI (instead of my good old FlaskMPEG).

OK but the prog keeps making a multitude of 1.93 GB files when I want to ripp my DVD off into a 30 GB HuffYUV AVI file... How to uncheck this option?

What!?


A DVD is going to be MORE then 30GB when converted to huffYUV.

The golden rule for huffYUV is about 1GB/minute. Most DVDs being ATLEAST 90minutes(well with anime, it's probably between 30minutes and maybe 3hrs). You're looking at needing a couple hundred gigs for a entire series. This is a bad way of doing things. You can use DVD2AVI to cut out huffYUV clips and then import those into Premiere, that would be much more doable. Or you could import the DVDs directly to Premiere using AVISynth(assuming you're using Premiere).

Read ErMaC's guides off of the <a href="http://www.animemusicvideos.org/legacy/guide.htm">Guides</a> page for info on using DVDs with Premiere.

You mean it only took you several years to work that one out?

Damn, I need to finish updating the guides.

I ripped Jin-Roh DVD off, 1h40min I think.

I've never understood HuffYUV : when exporting from Premiere it takes, yep, 1GB/min. But when encoding from a DVD, without any sound (that's the only difference), 25 / 30 GB is enough for 1h30. Maybe my vid quality's not perfect since you say it usually takes hundred of gigs but the quality I get is OK for me.

So, is there any way to avoid this splitting option?

By the way I'm not completely stupid when I say it takes 30 GB. I have the files on my HD, I know what I'm talking about. And I ripped them with DVD2AVI which can't do anything except copying the DVD into an AVI file.

Wrong.

In fact, despite it's name, the last thing you want to be doing with dvd2avi is making avis.

You use dvd2avi and make a project file. This file can then be imported into an avisynth script (see the guides on how to do this or download the AMVapp for an example script).

You can load this avisynth script into virtualdub and save huffYUV files from there - as big as you like. That is the most stable way of diong it (also, use Fast Recompress for added speed and colour accuracy)

K so there isn't any option saying "do not split the final file" ^_^. I'll use that frameserver then, thanks.

I do not know how you aren't getting extremely large files :roll:. I blame magic :shock: Still @ 720x480 @ 29.97fps HuffYUV has always been around 1GB/min in all apps. Maybe somethings happening to the footage :?:

Really my vid's quality is exactly the same as the DVD... I can send you a screenshot if you want :P .

I've encoded it in 720x480, 25 FPS, no sound (maybe the sound made your files that huge since it's uncompressed wave file).

Well that's right you're on PAL, I believe it's 720x576 @ 25fps for PAL tho. Still that roughly equates to the same thing as 720x480 @ 29.97(PAL = more data per frame, less frames per second, while NTSC is slightly the opposite).

Anyway here's my guess:
