Np... Some people may disagree with how I do it, but this is how I got mine done. I am also _VERY_ new to this, but I have managed to get my movies ripped down to mpg's that are roughly 1.5gb or less. Anyway...
After I ripped the DVD with DVD Decrypter, I did the following:
1. Open IFOEdit
2. Click: Open (lower left-hand corner)
3. Choose the .ifo to open (I used VTS_01_0.IFO)
4. Click: Menu Extras (down low, in the middle)
5. In the menu that pops up, there's alot of things grey'd out, but the stuff that isn't, it's all checked except one: 'Remove IIvu/Angle point' - I also set the destination dir (I keep my rips seperate from the new just to avoid confusion)
6. Click 'Ok'
At this point mine has started crashing so I can't for sure tell you what comes next, but you should get a box that has the menu options in it. Those that you want to keep, leave selected. Those you don't, uncheck them and select 'Strip it'. When that's done, go on to step 7.
7. Click 'VOB Extras'
8. On mine, the following fields are selected by default:
- Strip Streams
- Strip Vob id's
- Correct Vob-Unit (Navigation Pack) pointers in VOB-files
- Correct original IFO files
- Create new IFO files (movie only)
- Remove P-UOps
- Remove Macrovision
- Adjust Vob-Unit pointers
- Adjust Audio/Subp point
9. I set the dir, VOB size (1gb), and add 'Rebuild PTS'
10. Click 'Ok' and a window opens with _usually_ the english video and 5.1 audio already checked
- Audio 1: English (Dolby AC-3 6ch 48Kbps DRC) (ID: {may vary})
- SubPicture 1: English (2-bit rle) (ID: {may vary})
I think this is the base video/audio for the dvd. I usually go with the default because the prog knows me than me :)
11. Correct IFO tables is checked, click 'Strip it'
The VOB Extras box will close and IFOEdit will start to rebuild your MOVIE.IFO and MOVIE.VOB files with only the previously selected options (the name of the file will vary according to your needs).
After that's done, I then go into DVD2AVI to create the wav and d2v files and remerge them with TMPGEnc. That's about all I know. Like I said, I'm new... really new to this, but what I've done so far, works. Only thing I'm having trouble with is getting the file sizes down below 700mb. They're close, but not close enough.
Hope this helps.
If any of you guru's see a flaw, please let me know because I would really like to get the files size down. Maybe I'm missing a step? Who knows.
