to anyone concerned
i think i found a faster way to convert dvd to dvd+r and so on.. it takes 2 1/2 hrs on a 1 ghz or better cpu.. no rempeng to shrink or encode just use the same way like before but a couple of things change
smartripper to rip your dvd
ac3 to convert ac3 to wav
dvdit pe 2.5 to burn your dvd
in dvdit change the audio to convert to dolby digital 2 channels at 128 mhz you can make menus and things ....then just burn
1) Why AC3 to WAV? There are several authoring tools that allow you to import AC3 as it is, without re-encoding/changing format.
2) Why don't you use IFOEdit? Normally no re-encoding is required, as most of the main movies fit under 4.36GB anyway and by using IFOEdit, you can maintain your existing menu structure and chapters.
...but for newbies, I agree, your "guide" is useful :-)
its true ifoedit is a faster way but 4
(newbies)ifoedit can be a bitch im sure you agree....sorry about the email thing
but if your talking to newbies explain it in newbie language as i did then maybe they can figure out how to use ifoedit as they go along
as for ac3 6 channels audio files ....dvdit does not support it if you rip with smartripper and drop itin...... 2 channels maybe and im a newbie to afterdawn not to ripping and converting i just thought i can help new ppl see things a little clearer
