Easily the best DVD ripping overview I've seen on the Internet. Great work!

Thanks! :D

cooool
thats nice

rmvb.quality is better than cam or ts

Yeah, rmvb compression is awesome!
But i prefer mkv... Both use H.264 but mkv is usually HD rips! :D

good... work...

i tried auto gk .. but the time it took was too much. hush...anyways it is worth trying!!

gud blog dude...keep it up.

Thanks for this tutorial, having tons of success, the only problem I'm having is with episode discs, how should the process change when dealing with these?

Thanks again

Here you go...
Check out this guide:
How to convert episodes from a TV Series DVD to DivX/XviD

Thanks for the above link for episode rips, but I think I got ahead of myself. I was judging my "tons of success" by the first half of the movies, it appears that about half of them lose the video/audio sync toward the end. Any suggestions?

Or in the name of saving a ton of time does anyone know of a single program that will do all of the above? I'm willing to pay for it so it doesn't have to be freeware.

Thanks

There's the fix to the audio/video sync problem as well. (Apps included). :)

Thanks carrotmadman6.

Hi, I tried following this, but DVD Encrypter generate multiple VOB files and AutoGK, as far as I can see, will only take one VOB file at a time. How do I do this so as to end up with one video file?

No, you have to use the DVD Input setting of AutoGK to select the folder where the different VOB files are stored - usually "VIDEO_TS"
:)

It wouldn't let me select a folder - I had to chose a VOB file. However, I got round it by finding the option in dvd encrypter to produce one large file instead of a few smaller ones. Magic.

gr8 work man

ha! just saw that post. will have to try that out, usually i just rip my dvds off with VLC :P

@Kyu
I stumbled upon that VLC-ripping guide (by Lifehacker i think?) & I was shocked that you could do ripping with VLC! :P

I'm thinking of making a new guide for ripping to x264! :D

Great Stuff!!...this guide is just what i was looking for. i'm about to search to see if you've done a "To x264" guide. BTW, i dl'd some x264 hd video in mkv format, and after a few searches, i can't seem to find any way to convert it to hd-mp4 recognizable by my ps3 or 360...any chance you might have an idea on how to do it?

@neenk

Here's a simple guide to converting to mp4:

carrotmadman... first of all, thanks so much for your tutorial, I've definitely ended up with an aXXo quality rip on my first try!

One question though... I'm using a DVD that is 16:9 widescreen, and am viewing my rip on a 16:9 widescreen LCD... Yet I still have letterboxes across the top and bottom- what do i need to change here?

@Anonymous
That's because the Aspect Ratio is set to anamorphic. :)

You need to press Ctrl+F9 to access the hidden settings, where the aspect ratio can be changed to 16:9.
See this guide - link. ;)

i downloaded auto gk 2.55 from softpedia.It asks for input 'file',rather than folder n i have 5 files.plz help

will all this work on Vista?

@Anonymous
Why won't it? :)

One thing you can do if anyone has problems with getting the dvd to work with dvd decrypter. Use alcohol %120 to make an image of the disk, then mount the image on the virtual drive, and at that point begin the process of ripping and shrinking it.

The AutoGK description is a little tough to understand, mate. The input file should be a .ifo file not a directory. Except that your tut is superb.

@Anonymous
Thanks, the AutoGK I used was an old version with directory input. :)

Thank You very much

Use DVDFab. The latest versions of it create good quality rips with almost no visible tearing.

But what is posted above is one of the best way to create awesome rips!!!

Why choose DivX as the codec and not Xvid?

@Evan
It's practically the same thing. You can use either. :)

i nee best and time consuming riper

thanks alot man. you are the best

Thank you man, great post it was exactly what I was looking for.

Merci pour votre tutoriel.D'un avis personnel, je préfère le codec x264 que je trouve nettement plus performant que XVID et Megui pour l'encodage.Maintenant, il est bon de préciser une chose, la qualité de votre encodage dépend aussi du nombre de pass.  Un encodage avec une seul pass sera de moins bonne qualité qu'un encodage fait avec deux.La résolution de votre vidéo est également un facteur important à prendre en considération.  Une vidéo de 640x480 demandera moins de bitrate (Mo) qu'une vidéo d'une résolution de 720x540.Le type de vidéo joue également un rôle important.  Une vidéo avec beaucoup de scènes qui bougent (un combat par exemple) demandera plus de Mo qu'un film avec des scènes fixe (où les personnages bougent mais moins rapidement que dans un combat par exemple).

just find a good video converter to help to do so, such as aiseesoft video converter for mac is such a tooll which I have been using for a long time for convert avi to mov for editing and replay. just have a try at: http://www.ivideotool.com/ . good luck!!
