I don't know how to do this or if it is even possible, so I am coming here for help. This is what I want to do. I want to be able to burn a dvd into a format that will be able to play on WMP or a like player(I guess AVI would be the best????). I use dvdshrink and dvdfab to backup my dvds but it saves it in a video_ts folder with BUP,IFO,and VOB files. I tried to convert them using AnyVideo Converter but all I got was a video with subtitles and no audio. My plan is to back up all of my movies in a playable format so that I can stream them to a laptop or dvd player. If there is a way to play them off the computer in the current file format please let me know what software I need or how to do it. Thank you for your help!!
If you want to convert the contents of a standard VIDEO_TS folder to AVI, try AutoGK.
Run AGK and for the source input file, select VTS_01_0.IFO (this is usually the main tile of the movie - but there are exceptions).
Select the output file path.
Choose an audio track and a subtitle track.
Note that the subtitles will be burned into the AVI (permanent, non-switchable).
For the output size, choose a fixed or custom size or use the Target quality setting.
The quality setting uses a one-pass conversion;the fixed size is two passes, thus slower - note that you have no control of the output file size with the 'Quality' setting.
'Add Job' then either load another Title (if you are doing a batch) and 'Start'
I've seen it where the DVD audio is 'unspecified' - I.E. it doesn't have the language name included(English, French, etc) - it makes no difference to the conversion except that if it had multiple audio tracks you couldn't easily pick out the one you want.
