I heard you can make an avi from dvd with virtualdubmod if anyone knows how to do this step by step could you please help.I tried doing it myself but i am not sure what to do i see you can add vts files and rip them to avi but i cant seem to set a size of my avi file.What i was trying to do is convert all vts files 1 to 5 from a dvd to avi at about 150mb each then join them all together to make 1 complete avi. Is this possible to control the output size of the avi please help

Try the DGIndex/Avisynth method.
It saves having to do all that joining.

Regarding the avi size, you have to enter Video/Compression,
pick Divx or Xvid, configure, and set the bitrate or Q value.

You'll find DGdecode/DGindex and the whole package here.
http://neuron2.net/dgmpgdec/dgmpgdec155.zip

Uncompress the files and put them in a folder somewhere.
Use that in your script. (the loadlplugin should point to it).

As far as I know, it should be fine in Vista.

The general flow of things is to use DGindex to index the file and to
create the d2v.
Then create the simple Avisynth as the example shows, using
DGdecode/mpeg2source and pointing to the d2v you just created.

I am sorry to annoy you but i dont understand it tells you to load
plugins that are not there in avisynth.I done the first bit no problem i made the .dv2 file but the part with the load script file i
dont even know what load script is. is it a command prompt or what.In windows vista things are not stored in the same place if it is trying to load from a temp dir it wont work cause in vista the filename for the path will be different. Please help if you have done this yourself can you explain in more detail what this means i am not that clued up about this kind of stuff

Apologies-You're not familiar with Avisynth? That would explain the
difficulty! First install Avisynth, if you haven't done so already.
(version 2.58 is the latest)

Then use Notepad and copy in those two lines, so you get something that
looks like this:

LoadPlugin("c:\temp\dgdecode\dgdecode.dll")
mpeg2source("D:\matrix\matrix.d2v")

(modify the LoadPlugin and Mpeg2source to point to the place
where you actually saved the dgdecode.dll and d2v file).

Save the notepad as a txt file on the desktop, then rename it to
myscript.avs

Then open this avs file with Virtualdub.

I mentioned it briefly in my first post in this thread but
to elaborate a little, open the file in Virtualdub.
Select video/compression.
Choose divx or xvid, what ever you're going to use.
configure/ restore the default values and OK out.
That's your starting point. Form there, (once you figure out
how it works and what results you get), you can up/lower the bitrate,
choose constant quality Vs. specific bitrate, etc,etc.

Good Luck -
