i decided to do some dvd ripping on my vids now. while my first try was successful my second time is not. first i ripped the dvd of course extracted the vob files etc... i used dvd2avi to convert the footage but the problem is that the program keeps kicking me out and wont let me convert. whats up with this?? is it some sorta copy right protection thing?? that or my problems from dvd decrypter followed me over to smartripper. dvd decrypter bad!! my problem with dvd decrypter is explained in my other post which includes a few more things that i need to get solved as well.

I'm not sure which 'other post' you mean, but I can probably help with any problems you have with dvddecryptor. In the meantime, what are you trying to convert the vob *to* using dvd2avi? Do you mean it cuts out when you try to save the project? You don't want to use dvd2avi to make avi files - so if that's what you're having trouble with, just save the project, write a nice little avs script file and open it in Vdub for the avi.

If you're editing in Premiere and you're going to use the avs (not sure how this works, really), then all you should have to do is save the project with dvd2avi - is it timing out when you do this?

More info, please. ^_^;;

yes im trying to convert the vob with dvd2avi. ive tried all the formats that they had in there to conver examples: divx, mpeg 4, no compression. i usually go with no compression it may take a while but its worth it. i tried to save the project but it keeps cutting out like you said and even closes me out of the program. im not sure how to write an avs script though.

I thought that might be the problem. You don't want to use dvd2avi to make an avi file (the name's misleading). What you do is open the vob and choose 'save project' - it'll give you a d2v project file. Then you use avisynth script to make an avs file (the guides tell about this - if you've downloaded avisynth and your mpeg2dec3.dll file, you should be set to go (I think those are the main things in the pack - the guides link you to what you need to download). My usual script is this:

LoadPlugin("C:\AVSFILTERS\MPEG2DEC3.dll")
MPEG2Source("C:\DVDVOLUME\RKEP41.d2v")
Telecide()
Decimate(mode=1)
AssumeFPS(24)

All you really need is the first two - the first one set so Vdub will find the dll file you need to read the project, and the second linking it to wherever you saved your d2v file (the project file you made with dvd2avi). The others are to get rid of interlacing (if you use Premiere you'll need to change the frame rate later after you make the vid - if you use wmm it'll do it for you). Just check the links in the guide if you don't have the avisynth/amvapp downloads, it'll give you everything you need.

And you just open the script (it's like a notepad file, only it's saved with avs instead of txt) in VirtualDub and save your clips in huffyuv.

Hmm... I've been wondering, if I should get rid of interlacing with the avisynth or DivX? both ways seem to work just as fine.

No thanks. I'll just go for DivX's deinterlacer...

It's not that bad. (DivX Pro 5.0.5)

If you *have* to deinterlace after the fact, at least use VirtualDub when you're still working with huffyuv footage.
