Ok so I'm trying to rip the NIN dvd "And All That Could Have Been", with the ultimate goal of encoding 2 xvid AVIs with AutoGK. I didn't realize there was a problem until I was watching the AVIs I encoded. The AVI for the second disc was fine, but about 32 minutes into the AVI for the first disc, the audio goes totally warbled for about 5 seconds and then plays on. This error might have happened again in the last 15 minutes, but I didn't keep watching to find out. I later learned that this hiccup was a few seconds after the start of chapter 9.
After discovering the problem, I went back to the VOB that I ripped with dvddecrypter(in IFO mode), and dropped the IFO file on MPC, which resulted in MPC saying "unable to render file". So I dropped the actual VOB on MPC and it played well enough, until I seeked past chapter 9, at which point playback freezes until I seek back to before chapter 9. I can seek to any point before that chapter, and if I just let it play through from chapter 8 into 9, it plays just fine - but if I seek again after that point it freezes up.
I'm quite the noob when it comes to dvd ripping, but I have had success(up until now) with the method I've been using (as I said, the second disc was fine). I'm pretty sure that the reason the AVI is cooked at that one point has everything to do with the fact that I can't seek past the same point on the ripped VOB (but that's just a hunch, I have no real experience with 'problem' dvds to go on here).
What I've tried:
I've tried setting the stream processing to just rip the video and the 2 channel audio track, without remapping the 2channel to where the 6channel was, and after that I had a go with the remapping. I've tried having anydvd running while I rip. I've tried using smartripper (until I realized it wasn't good enough for AutoGK - and I had the same problem anyway). I've tried ripping to multiple VOBs instead of no file splitting. The only time I could get VOBs of this dvd (on my HD) not to exhibit this behaviour was when I copied the whole disc with windows explorer onto my HD (with anydvd running) - but I can't use that to give to AutoGK(can I?). Oh yeah, I've also tried running the dvd through VobBlanker, making an ISO of that, mounting it in alcohol, and running dvd decrypter on that. However, VobBlanker gave me warnings/dialog boxes about mulitple angles and something about ILV, and I didn't really set any options or settings in VobBlanker since none of them meant anything to me(it was all greek to me).
a couple random details:
this is a mulit-angled DVD - I've only been trying to rip angle 1
looking at the dvd in smartripper, every chapter up to #9 has only 1 cell(I don't really have a clue what a cell is btw), but chapters 9, 10, and 11 have 286, 308, and 225 cells, respectively. The 3 chapters after 11 all have 1 cell again. Dvddecypter appears to select one cell per chapter for those with more than one.
So anyways, any help you can offer me will be GREATLY appreciated, I ripped this thing over and over all day yesterday and I'm starting to lose my mind. As I said before, I'm new to dvd-->xvid, so please talk slow (if you get my meaning). TIA.
