A friend of mine is after a new program to rip DVD's ( he owns them of course) as the one he is using atm can't hold the aspect ration properly for some movies.

He wants one that is easy to use, that preferably just spits out a divx after it is done.

Any advice ideas or examples?

Just download easydivx

If you dont want to go in depth then this is the program for you, chuck in your DVD, tell it how many cd's you want it to be, and hit start and will leave you with a decent looking divx

the best program at the moment is, in my opinion Gordian Knot, it is a bit harder to learn when u first open it up but once u see the quality u wont be disapointed.

Post 5

what about vob. to avi/divx
i wanna do that
anyone got a good program that will do this for me and the picture is good and the sound great and the lenght like 699mb :P

Post 6

Knight,

.vob is the file extension of the MPEG2 streams on the DVDs. I would expect any DVD ripping software to be able to do what you want as well.

Post 7

well i am after the best and fairly simplest one that will do it
but iwant good pic and good sound not low sound
and it to be on 1 cd :P
and programs u can point out?

Post 8

another simple program is DVDtoOGM it is only in its alpha stage but has worked great from me so far. It gives u alot more options than anyother ripping software program ive used before, such as using the xvid codec, ogg vorbis sound and adding as many filters as u like.

sounds confusing to me
lol is it simple to run?

well now VOBs are the video object files these have all the MPEG2 streams and all the audio tracks AC3(dolby digital) almost always english 5.1 and some other languages. Also have subtitles in them too.

The IFO file tells you where all the info in the VOBS are.

Gordian Knot is a brilliant program to use. I use it to set up the resolutions. I just use Virtual dub to do the encoding and Nandub to put in MP3 audio.

Yes I know GKnot will do it for you but I like to get a bit more complicated.

Sif no 1337 Xvid encodzoring!!

Post 11

Yep Gordian Knots is the only why to go.

About being the GURU in darwin, me thinks you should rethink.

Hmm Raker has Lots of HDD Space.

I HAVE Lot's of CD's Flamm, I just don't share them with YOU.....
(edit: Thats a Smackdown)

And finally there are several people now getting into the legitimite Backing Up of DVD's for Personal Use. If you sit around long enough and listen to EVERONES opinion then you can tinker away and produce......

go crazy c. :)

I will try to share the rips I have done @ the next DGA. If I'm not playing BF =)

Post 16

Crazy,

I never said you did.

I clearly stated that TN1 should rethink who is the GURU.

I never said it was me either.

There is lots of ppl out there that rip, and we all do it differently and some do it the same.

Post 17

and some just do divx 700MB rips. Like everbody.
(this is a smackdown to everybody) except me

pfft, CD are damaged why would i want to touch yours. Im not going to be responsible.

BOTTOM LINE RAKER SHARES MORE!

Did i mock you crazy one ? No, I was giving raker a compliment rather than paying him out ;) Just for a change :P

Post 19

Unfortunately Flamm you were trying to Mock, and you were ,misleading in your statements. At least Raker tried to reply constuctively.

Either way who gives a toss.

The more ripping the better I say. Maybe Raker and I can stop sharing our work for a while so the others can GIVE.....

So lets all stop the shit and reap the rewards....

Post 20
