DumbRipper.

VirtualDumb (Great app, sorry to bash it. Just no scripting hooks)

And many mooore.

DVDDecrypter?
CinemaCraft Encoder?

If virtualdub can't be scripted then how do you suppose Gordianknot works?

Isn't it tedious and menial to have to rip the entire DVD's worth of footage, seek to the clips you want, rip, isolate, clip and all the other things such as fixing anamorphic, IVTC, etc? Wouldn't you rather NOT have to worry about your output MPEG's quantize matrix and IBPPBI whatevers?
No.

I rather like control.

Hey,

danielwangzor

You don't get it man, it's art. You have to suffer for it!

You should be thinking up ways to make it harder and more tedious, so videos will be even more artistic!

I tried sooo hard not to read this thread...

But you didn't get very far.

That's ok, though, because in the end, it doesn't really matter.

I have a very simple bit of wisdom for anyone who proposes the creation of new software: code first, then propose. It doesn't have to be complete or pretty but you have to have proof of concept. Otherwise you're like the guy who invented the flying car: "Well, it's a car, right? And it flies!" "Great, let's take it for a ride!" "Oh, we can't, it isn't built yet. But when someone does they'll have to pay me royalites, because I invented it!"

In that spirit, I actually have working code for the visual indexing system I proposed here a few months ago. It ain't pretty nor easy to use yet, but unlike some other brilliant new ideas we've seen recently, it's for real. I can put in a DVD and get out a tree of HTML documents showing thumbnails of all the shots and time coordinates for where to find them. If anyone wants to see, I'll stash a sample of the output in my Web space.
