Tópico: Another DVD Ripping question

Este tópico es antiguo y puede contener información incorrecta para la nueva versión.

I have "Rip DVD" (not sure if it came with VDJ) and have had success with ripping a ton of videos with it. However DVDs with Menus will not rip correctly, the videos run together and the sound is wack. Also the videos with intros to them are listed as seprate tracks so I just dont rip them as it would be a pain to try to play the15 second or so intro on deck 1 while trying to load the video on deck 2.

I guess my question is...is there a program that will let me "disect" the contents of the DVD and rip what I want, the way I want off of it?

Forgive me, I am new to the virtual world of DJing and will probably have more questions in the future.

Yes, VirtualdubMod, which is a free program. There are plenty of tutorials to learn how to do the editing you want.
 
I forget who had posted this on here but I use it now and have very few problems. This rips into chapters. Takes a little getting use to as far as what files are the chapters but it is a pretty short learning curve.

Ripping music video causes a lot of people a major headache. With the right tools and know how it's really easy. By the end of this you'll be ripping like a pro!

Firstly, music videos come in two main types. The first type and the one that causes people the most headaches is the shared VOB type, ie MixMash and Promo Only, with these types, there are only four or five .VOB files on the DVD holding perhaps 30 music videos.

Secondly, the multi Vob type, where each music video has it's own vob file.

After trying lots of the ripping tools, I've found the best by far is a free option, that being dvd decrypter. You download this from here :-

http://www.dvddecrypter.org.uk/


SETTINGS


First thing to do once you have downloaded it is to make sure you have the settings correct, after that you don't have to mess with it again. So, launch dvd decrypter and select "tools" then "settings". Under the "general" tab you should have :-

"File System To Parse" AUTO

"Remove Macrovision Protection" checked

"Check For Structure Protection" checked

"Hide Pack header Warnings" checked


under the "Other" heading, all should be checked

Anything else can be left at default.

Next click the "IFO Mode" tab.

"Select Main Movie" unchecked

"Enable Stream Processing" checked

"Uncheck Suspect Cells" checked

Set "File Splitting" to "By Chapter"

"Copy IFO File" checked

"Remove RC Protection" checked

"Remove RCE Protection" checked

Patch M2V Timecode" Checked

Everything else under "IFO Mode" should be unchecked.

NEXT, Click the "File Mode" tab

"Select Files" none

"Stream processing" set to "show all"

"File Splitting" set to "By VOB ID"

"Ignore Unreferenced VTS Sets" checked

"Remove IFO Structure Protection" checked

"Remove IFO RC Protection" checked

"Remove IFO RCE Protection" checked

"Patch M2V Timecode" checked

NEXT

Click the "Stream Processing" tab and make sure "Convert PCM to WAV" is checked.


That's it! click "OK" and back to the main interface.


RIPPING

Next I'll describe how to rip a shared vob type disc. For this example I'll use a Mixmash disk.

Launch DVD Decrypter and from the "MODE" menu select "IFO". Put your chosen DVD into your DVD Reader, after accessing the disk you will see tick boxes appear in the "Input" tab that will say something like "VTS_01" Imaging the "VTS" as being a folder in windows explorer, click the little + at the left and it will branch out into something like "PGC 1" Imaging the PGC as being another folder 'within' the "VTS" one. Click the "PGC" and in the bottom left box you will see a list of "chapters". These are your individual tracks and as a default they should all be ticked. An average Mixmash disk has 15 tracks so you 'should' have 15 chapters showing.

NEXT

GET INTO THE HABIT OF NEXT CLICKING THE "STREAM PROCESSING" TAB!

When you do this, you will see "enable stream processing" is 'unchecked'. CHECK IT Now in the little window underneath you will see your two streams, one being the video stream and one being the stereo audio stream, these will be ticked by default. MORE ON STREAMS LATER (this is important)

On the left side of the interface, click the little picture of a folder to select your destination on your hard drive. When you've done that, click the green arrow in between the pictures of a DVD and a hard drive. After a while your individual tracks will be ripped to the folder as seperate vob files. JOB DONE

STREAMS

Firstly, why I enable stream processing. After ripping God knows how many DVD's and experimenting, studying etc I have found that with stream processing enabled, you will get practically no rips where the audio goes out of synch with the video. SECONDLY The above method also works for commercial DVD's such as "Blondie - Greatest Video Hits" etc, BUT as you may be aware, many commercial type videos have subtitles, multi language, 2 types of sound, ie "PCM Stereo" and "Dolby Surround" (remember on your dvd player where you get to choose stereo or surround?) So, when you go to the "stream processing" tab, you can also remove the subtitles stream and the dolby stream since we only want the video and a stereo sound. If they are present, they will be listed under "Stream Processing" so just uncheck any unwanted streams.

MORE ON "COMMERCIAL" DVD'S

Remember above I mentioned "VTS" and "PGC" as being like folders? Well on commercial DVD's you also regularly get "Extra Content" or hidden "Easter Egg" files, it's also not unusual to find tracks that aren't even advertised on the cover!

So, have a drill down through those extra "VTS" folders and see what you turn up. Incedentally, there's a DVD collection called "Duran Duran - Greatest" that has such a large number of easter eggs and hidden features it is widely discussed on the internet. I have it and it's a bloody nightmare finding all the tracks! Take a look Here :-

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greatest_(Duran_Duran)

OK, for what I called the "shared vob" type of disks that should get you well on the way. Next it's time for :-

MULTI VOB DISKS

You will soon get a feel for what type of disks you're dealing with, whether multi or shared vob. A good clue is if you put the DVD into the drive, double click "My Computer" then right click your DVD drive and select "Explore". Have a look in the "VIDEO_TS" folder on the disk and if there are a LOT of Vob files then chances are it's a multi vob.

These use a slightly different method. Launch DVD Decrypter, click "MODE" and select "FILE" After accessing the disk you will see a long list of files. The only ones you are interested in are the "Vob" files. Hold down the &ltCtrl> key and left click all the vob files. (Holding &ltCtrl> allows you to select multiple files with the mouse). Then click the small picture of a folder on the main interface to browse to a destination and click the green arrow between the pictures of a DVD and a hard drive.

When you have ripped all the vobs, play each one of them to check them, some will be useless, either being the copyright notice, menus or simply blank fillers, after a little practice, when you see all the vobs listed in file mode you will be able to spot which ones are tracks and which are useless by their file size. Simply delete the unwanted vobs to leave behind your desired tracks.

***** THAT'S IT *****
 
Thanks legaldeejay.

@Airborngary
Thank you so much for that very informative reply!! May you always be blessed with a packed dance floor!
 
I can't seem to get pass this step in your instructions. I see the "VTS_01" but am unable to find the little + box or "image" the file. Thanks for your help.

"Imaging the "VTS" as being a folder in windows explorer, click the little + at the left and it will branch out into something like "PGC 1" Imaging the PGC as being another folder 'within' the "VTS" one. Click the "PGC" and in the bottom left box you will see a list of "chapters".

The post is five years old - they're probably long gone by now!

I think perhaps the original author was not an English speaker, or just had bad grammar. The word "imaging" is supposed to say "imagine" :-)
 
I missed one important step in your instructions. In Mode select IFO. It had been in File Mode. Thanks for the great instructions. I'm currently re ripping videos that I've had for years and looking forward to sharing them with my bar patrons.
