I have used Virtual Dub to create an AVI Files of VOB Files created by SmartRipper. Now I saved the first pass and the second pass. That means at the end I have two AVI files. I was not able to open the first pass AVI. The second pass AVI contains the complete movie.
Now my question: I guess that I have to combine both AVI files. How can I do this?
No, no, no, noo... The first pass file is useless, you can delete it. DivX codec creates it as an instruction for itself in order to complete the 2nd pass.
Thanks a lot!
I tried to watch the AVI file from the second pass. But the movie was sloping / distorted. I guess that the AVI file from the second pass should be a complete movie. Am I wrong?
If the second pass contains the complete movie, why the movie is distorted? Do you have an idea what are the reasons for that? I produced the second pass according to the manual published by afterdown ("Copy your DVD into DivX4 fomrat - Guide for 4:3 movies"). The orginal movie is 4:3.
Thanks again for your support.
What do you mean exactly with "distorted"? The 4:3 guide is missing some things that are required in certain cases, including Inverse Telecine for certain region 1 discs (to downgrade the fps from 29.97 to 24fps), etc..
I have the exact same problem as Sabine whereby the picture is sloping at a 45 degree angle, using the 2 pass encoding method, with a region 4 disk. I have followed the ripping instructions to the letter.
