No idea as too your problem , but here is how I go about it .
Pc of 400mhz + win98 + 1 x 20gig drive + tmpgenc + virtual mod (dub) + bpmpeg ( original version only ) + smart ripper .
assuming you have a dvd drive .
Please note : this only works under windows 98 , I have done extensive testing already ..
Too start :
use smart ripper too rip only required files
(it dose this auto)
then you need an .lst file ( i think smart ripper can creat one , not sure )
a lst file just has the ripped files in order and where they are located . note pad can edit this file ( just dont associate it with the edited file ) , then just save it .
now open virtualdub (mod) and load lst file
(assuming you have the client installed)
virtual mod will now ask for some perameters .
change video too what you want .
then choose sound file (0x08 is normal file)
now it will grab sound file , when done you can setup virtual mod too frame serve video too tmpgenc .
(please remove sound setup in virtual mod , ie , no sound is too be frame serverd )
When serving , rememmber too name the file with extension of .VDR , or it cant be loaded .
once loaded in tmpgenc , I downgrade too mpeg1 at 352 x 288 , no audio , bitrate of 2100 is max , an higher and the system wont open the created mpeg because it exceeds the 2 gig mark .
video done .
DELETE THE ORIGINAL SOUND FILE ....
Sound is ripped using ifoedit or vobedit , i think i use vobedit . just rip 0x08 (default) .
Then use any freeware program that converts the ac3 too a wav , then convert the wav too mp2 and thats the sound file done (email me for the name of the app i use , cant remmember off hand right now )
Now you have the video file and sound file .
BPMPEG - the nuts and bolts .
open this prog and load in a small uncompressed avi file , this is too get access only .
in settings uncheck multiplex audio , as we dont want it ( this version will screwup the audio ) . then in settings locate the video you do want , and remmember too change the output folder and file name , setup all other settings , and let it go .
this will on a 400mhz system take around 22 hours .
when done , load a small uncompressed avi file , this is too get access only .
now in the setiings we want too multiplex only , there is a setting for choosing the video and audio files you want .
setup all othe options , change location of output folder , no encoding , and let it go .
a 2 gig mpeg + mp2 audio file will come out at around 550mb mpeg1 video file with perfect audio .
This has been done many times by me , and in order too play these back , you need too reset the pc .
these movies will playback in fullscreen on a 400mhz pc and any home dvd player that supports playback on mpeg / vcd / svcd disc's
I am in the process of writting this up and will post a full how-too within the next two weeks , along with ftp server access too all applications involved ( must ask for account).
hope this helps
windows 98 - works extremely well , no probs
tested on amd450II - ok
testing on amd1800xp - in progress
windows 98se - dose not work
windows me - in test stage
