Xilisoft DVD Ripper

Post by shiromeniirukanjou » Thu Jan 12, 2012 5:06 pm

Hello, all. I have heard much of a program called DVD Fab being the ripper of choice; but before I knew this I had already purchased a ripper from a company called Xilioft, and my question now is if this is a suitable program to rip DVD for good quality. It was a little expensive, so I was just hoping it could still be a good program to use. (The preview window doesn't work though, at least on my computer o_O)
And on that note, I'm not quite sure as to what profile to rip DVDs in...MP4? AVI? Something else?

Thank you for reading. :)

I have heard the name before but I have no experience with the program, so I can be of little help. You'll have to figure out the way around your software with external guides, possibly there will be something on the official site. But as far as formats go, you would want to rip as VOB without re-encoding and just Read <a href=http://www.a-m-v.org/guides/avtech31/>ErMaC & AbsoluteDestiny's Friendly AMV Guides Lovingly Overhauled Largely by Zarxrax</a> afterwards.

Ok, cool, thank you for your input.
This Xilisoft ripper doesn't list VOB as a format, but it does list DVD-Video as a choice. Would that be a similar option?

It might be, I'm not sure. Basically, what you should try to do is get the files on the dvd out of it without re-encoding them.

I've used used Xilisoft and for ripping DVDs its pretty much the same as DVDfab, Xilisoft however may have some problems such as frame rate confusion. If you set the frame rate to defalt it could go as high as 300fps and i have no idea why that occurs.

If you rip it properly, framerate is completely irrelevant anyway.

So, when you used it, what profile did you rip your footage in?

I actually didnt rip my footage into Lossless such as lagarith or UTvideo instead i was just testing with WMV. Use defalt bitrate and decide which aspect ratio you want, everything else is pretty much already set unless you want to change some things such as frame size.

If you're ripping it and getting anything other than a vob, you're doing more than just ripping it.
