DVD Ripping and Encoding

To rip your home made videos from DVD to MPEG 4 and other formats:
Use these free applications:
1. Mac The Ripper
2. Hand Brake
It is illegal to rip commercial DVDs.

Hmmm, that's curious. On the MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR product page Kingston memory is recommended
Ok, did a Memtest86 v1.11 pass at cpu/dimm 166/166 - no problems whatsoever. I think using Prime95 would have revealed memory problems...but will do another pass with cpu/dimm at 190/190.
Can overclocking affect the Promise Raid Controller?? It should be locked like the PCI/AGP but who knows...
Well, I still have to replace my PSU but I'm not 100% sure that this is the problem. What PSU would you recommend? ...and I'm also thinking about replacing the standard CPU cooler, any advice is welcome

Using Max to rip and encode cds but encountering problems

I thought I'd use this software for a change something isnt quite right,On some cds the title artist and list of tracks appears as it should on Max window then the ripping and encoding commences.Only problem here is that i keep getting an ITunes file permission error which i have to delete each time .On other cds The Max window appears with nothing showing, the ripping and encoding starts but then seems to stop only to start importing in iTunes,I then stop this process to allow Max to continue but the end result is a iget a long list of unnamed tracks at the bottom of my itunes Music library.It seems like i havent got my settings quite right?? Could someone please advise me what the problem could be? thanks

You're problem is entirely different from the original poster's. You're more likely to get help if you start your own thread with a descriptive subject line. Include any error messages you're getting and any steps you've taken already to solve the problem.
Best of luck.

Dvd::rip and AL

I just have a preliminary question before I embark upon trying to get dvd::rip to work. Has anyone successfully used it with AL? My question stems from the fact that it's reeeealy finnicky about everything and I've had problems installing it on every distro I've ever used.
Thanks,
matt

unless you are prepared to make packages for quite a few gnome 1.4 packages (i think this would ivolved practically making the whole of 1.4).
transcode can be found in the unofficial trees if you are comfortable using cli for ripping dvds. (recent versions of libdvdcss and libdvdread are there too.

DVD Rip and then burn - video stuttering

I'm trying to rip from a dvd (legal) - so I can put it in Final Cut, add subtitles, and burn back to dvd? But so far, I'm getting video that stutters on my final dvd.
I tried to rip the video from dvd using MPEG Streamclip, then edited it in Final Cut before burning a dvd in DVD Studio. But in the ripped video the picture fades in and out.
Then, when I burn to dvd, the video stutters incredibly on a regular dvd player (but not on the computer's dvd player). Anyone know what's going on here?
Suggestions?

I just encoded it using compressor. A little bit of stuttering on the dvd (should I apply a de-interlace filter?)
But still have the problem with a constant color change on the video - is there a different program that I should try to rip with rather than MPEG Streamclip?
Thanks.

Just a few questions about DVD Ripping and Final Cut 6

Ok,
Here is my first major concern. I have a wedding that I cut on the Final Cut Studio. After I burnt it to a DVD, I erased the main footage. However, the groom wanted to add something so I went into my backup files to get the information but just so happens that my backup hard drive crashed and it will not recognize on any Mac. (Tried 3 different Macs including 2 PowerMac G5’S and a Power Mac G4) Anyway all I have no is the DVD. I was wondering if anyone knew any good ripping software that I can rip this DVD back to a QuickTime. I have tried a few programs but the quality is just horrible.
My next question is does anyone know when Final Cut Pro 6 is shipping?

Did you lose your autosave vault with the crash? You could open your autosave and grab the last cut and do a media manager capture so you wouldn't have to re-edit or capture all of the media again.
Also, there are people who can get the info off the drive for a modest fee. If this was a paying gig, consider it part of the cost of having done the project. If the groom was satisfied and the project was complete, I guess you could argue that an extra fee is in order if he wants a different version after the final version was already delivered and agreed upon. Otherwise you kind of owe it to him to do whatever it takes to give him a final output.
Make a backup tape as well next time. That way you can recapture and add, then re-backup and re-compress. Lots of re-ings.

DVD::RIP Stops Responding [SOLVED]

Howdy,
I have just started to use DVD::RIP to try and backup some of my DVDs to XViD/DiVX. However, everytime I try to rip one, DVD::RIP it seems to stop responding while it is trying to generate a preview image of the ripped movie. The application can still be moved around within, tabs changed, but the ripping area items remain greyed out. The status bar at the bottom stops updating, however the log files continue to update with the amount of time the process has been running. According to the website, "This usually takes a few seconds, unless you're in the on-the-fly or DVD image mode, where this may need a minute." I am not in either of the above modes, I am using the application suggested RIP to Hard Drive mode. I have waited several times up to 15 minutes for this process to complete without any change. I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me out? Or point me to a better solution for DVD ripping and transcoding. Thanks.

I can't help you solve your problem with DVD::Rip, but I'd suggest you give HandBrake a try. It is a really easy to use command line tool for ripping and encoding DVDs and is by far the fastest DVD-ripper I've found. Quality is very good as well and it does stuff like detect cropping values automatically and very reliable. There's a precompiled binary for Linux on their forums if you fear to compile it on your own. You could also try Avidemux which a friend of mine suggested. He says it's the best tool for ripping DVDs, but I haven't tried it myself since I'm really satisfied with handbrake.
There's also Thoggen, Winki The Ripper, OGMRip and probably many more others. But they can't compare to Handbrake IMHO.

Glitch nightmare! DVD ripped to MPEG STREAMCLIP to FCP HD to DVD Studio Pro

Hi. Dealing with a very frustrating DVD-to-FCP-to-DVD glitch for months now, finally thought I should tap the knowledge base for help. I'm pretty uneducated about this stuff!
We're doing a favor for an area actor. She wants a DVD reel of her performances.
She gave us selection of some movies she's been in. They are all on DVD; this was the only format she could get the films in.
I figured, we'll rip the DVDs with Mac the Ripper, put the resultant TS files through MPEG streamclip, edit them in FCP and then whip up a DVD.
But on the resultant DVD, the picture is, intermittently, REALLY jumpy when the DVD is viewed on the TV set. It's fine when viewed on the G5's DVD player, but once you put it into the commercial DVD player and watch it on the television set, it's really glitch-heavy, which presumably won't impress anyone she's sending her reel to.
What might we be doing wrong?
MPEGStreamclip has a ton of output options. It's mind-boggling. But I presume there's a disagreement happening there between the MPEGStreamclip export options, the FCP sequence A/V settings, and/or the preferences in DVD Studio Pro.
I've tried different Streamclip options, tried to synchronize the field dominance on all 3 applications, tried a ton of things and still have not hit on the magical pre-set combination that will make this work.
Any ideas or knowledge about this would be hugely appreciated.
Thanks!!!

This could be a pulldown removal problem. What were your sequence settings? Is this 60i or 24p. DVD's are usually 60i. If the material originated in 24p then burned to a 60i dvd ripped, and then edited in 24p and then burned to 60i again you can see how this could cause problems. Do you have to render when you drop in the timeline? There are so many questions.

Dvd::rip transcode/libdvdread error [SOLVED]

Job 'Process title #15' failed with error message:
Job 'Rip - title #15' failed with error message:
It seems that transcode ripping stopped short.
The movie has 182817 frames, but only 22300
were ripped. This is most likely a problem with your
transcode/libdvdread installation, resp. a problem with
this specific DVD.
The wiki makes it seem so easy to use dvd::rip! I put my disc in, started a new project, began the rip and got this. As far as I can tell, my system is up to date and has all the deps for dvd::rip in good order. I've never changed a thing with transcode (I didn't even know I had it installed before I got this error). What is wrong?
P.s. Is there a way to tell if a DVD is encrypted? This would be helpful to me since dvd::rip and its kin don't work with encrypted movies.

Guide: How to rip and convert DVDs or other videos to iPod

Hi guys, we ofter met problems in using iPod, such as when we meet with a beloved movies we are in trouble to enjoy it on our iPod. Thus I write this document that shows how to rip and convert DVDs or other videos to your iPod MP4.
1. First of all, please download ImTOO DVD to iPod Converter at http://www.imtoo.com/downloads/dvd-to-ipod-converter.exe
2. Install it and open your local DVD by clicking "Add DVD Folder" button under "File" menu.

Thanks! But when I visit the site recently, I found the program was upgraded. Now it has 2 optimized output formats specially made for iPod 30G and 60G players! Thus it is easier and more convenient to use without complex settings as other software. Try it at http://www.imtoo.com/downloads/dvd-to-ipod.converter.exe
Another good news: there was a new discount suite ImTOO DVD to iPod Suitethat contains both the DVD to iPod Converter and iPod Movie Converter. It saves newly $20! Hope this can do some help

Getting Ripped DVD Video and Audio Into Encore

Do you have previously authored DVDs that need rework? Do you want to add menus with greater impact and functionality? Do you want to add some additional program or supplemental material? Does a client want their product demo DVD to be updated to reflect the capabilities of the new and improved version, but the source files no longer exist? Using Adobe Encore DVD and a freeware utility called DVD Decrypter (DVDD), you can accomplish this quickly and easily.
Disclaimer: I do not support the illegal copying and/or distribution of copyrighted works. The authors and distributors of the software I use have made it clear that they do not support illegal copying. This guide is intended solely to assist you in ripping and copying DVD video to which you have the legal rights. Any use of this guide to infringe the copyright of someone else’s intellectual property is prohibited.
This guide is based on Adobe Encore DVD 1.5.1 and DVD Decrypter version 3.5.4.0. Let’s Begin!
Place the DVD to be ripped in your DVD drive and launch DVDD. If you have more than one drive (e.g., a DVD-ROM and a DVD burner) make sure the one with the disc is selected in the Source dropdown list in the main program window. Now we need to set up DVDD to extract video in a way that is “Encore friendly”. This is the toughest part of the whole exercise. Click on the Tools menu item and choose “Settings…”.
Settings
General Tab: You can leave these set at their defaults if you like. Personally, I specify a custom Default Destination. I put my ripped video assets all in one place anyway, and having a default destination means I have one less thing to do when I rip a DVD.
IFO Mode Tab: Make sure that “Select Main Movie PGC” and “Enable Stream Processing” are checked. “Uncheck Suspect Cells” is probably a good default safety check. If your hard disks are formatted as NTFS, set File Splitting to “None”. I leave “Copy IFO File” checked with the default sub-items checked. Make sure that “Patch M2V Timecode” is unchecked. The items in the Create Additional Files section are purely optional. The author of DVDD has been kind enough to list which programs need which files; notice that Encore DVD isn’t listed as needing any of these extra files. I do keep the “Stream Information” box checked. DVDD generates very informative file names, but I like to keep “Include PGC Number” under File Names checked. Be advised you will get some lengthy file names after DVDD is finished ripping.
Stream Processing Tab: Since we enabled stream processing in the IFO Mode tab, we need to tell DVDD how to process those streams. To save yourself time and confusion later, check the “Convert PCM to WAV” box. Earlier versions of Encore required a Demuxed audio stream and a Raw video stream. Encore 1.5.1 can accept either type of video stream (Raw or Demuxed) but it does still require a Demuxed audio stream. However, I still recommend using Raw video and Demuxed audio, if only because it seems to be somewhat faster to process in DVDD. This workflow is also backward-compatible with earlier versions of Encore.
So let’s set up the Stream Processing tab now. In the Demux box, enter “0x8? 0xA? 0xC?”. This ensures that all audio streams in the selected PGC, whether AC3, PCM or MPEG will be set to Demux. In the Raw box, enter “0xE0”. This ensures that the video from the selected PGC will be set to Raw.
Additional Notes about the Stream Processing Tab:
1. For those of you asking the question, “What the heck is a PGC?” it’s just DVD-speak for the titles in a DVD project. And I’m not talking about the opening or end credits, either; I’m talking about the titles that result, for example, from the timelines you create in an Encore DVD project. There is a subtle difference between a PGC and a VTS (title set), but that's not important right now.
2. Happily, recent versions of DVDD create a WAV file after ripping that will import directly into Encore. Versions prior to 3.2.0.0 would create a WAV file that had to be imported to, and exported from, a sound editing program like Adobe Audition, Goldwave or SoundForge before Encore would recognize it.
Events Tab: For convenience sake, I recommend setting “Set Program Mode” in the Startup section to “IFO”. That way, whenever you launch DVDD, it will look familiar to you. You may safely ignore all of the other tabs in the Settings dialog.
Ripping
1.Under the Input Tab of the main program window, select the PGC you want to rip. You can only do one at a time.
2.Switch to the Stream Processing Tab. Verify that Enable Stream Processing is checked.
3.Check or uncheck any or all of the video and audio streams that are listed. Highlight each one to verify that all audio streams are set to Demux and the video stream is set to Raw.
4.If you didn’t select Default Destination in the General Settings Tab, then you need to tell DVDD where to put the ripped files now.
5.Click on the big DVD-to-Disk icon.
6.DVDD will announce, quite loudly, when it has finished. At that point you can rename the files or import them as is into Encore.
I hope you find this guide useful and that it helps you get the most out of your investment in Adobe Encore DVD.

OK, I can't tell you what we are doing, you'll have to trust me that it's for a very good cause. I'll simplify the use case as an example. If I can do the following we'll be OK:
1) Read video/audo files from a DVD that we created
2) Open these files with the QuickTime Player, click on Export to Apple TV to create an output file.
I'd rather not do an interim conversion of the video data (like use a 3rd party app to convert to mp4 first and then read into QT, but I'm considering a conversion to DV) because that could seriously hurt the apps effectiveness. I also can't use another app (MPEG Streamclip, HandBrake, VisualHub, etc.) to do the conversion.

Dvd burning and ripping

Dose anyone know where one could find a dvd copying program like the windows based dvd decripter, and dvd shrink. it would be great if anyone knows of any.

Yes, there is one program in particular that will decrypt and encode any DVD called HandBrake. Here is the link: http://handbrake.m0k.org/?page_id=24. There is also an Instant HandBrake that will encode DVDs specifically for the iPod 5th gen. and the PSP. You can find that on the Beta page. Hope this helps.

Ripping and Copying DvDs

what is best software (free if possible) to use to rip and copy DvDs?

hi,
burning DVD can be done directly from the finder without any additional software; see the following article;
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh854.html
then, you may need more functionality but then, you need to clarify what's are your needs. if this is for video purpose, I personally like using Roxio Popcorn; http://www.roxio.com/enu/products/popcorn/standard/overview.html
if this doesn't answer your question, try to be more specific on what you need to do.

PE8 and Encoding/Burning Error: Unknown Error:2131042562

Hello all:
I'm new to the forum and came across an issue. I had initially responded to an old post but at the direction of a couple veterans they guided me into doing a fresh post and to provide a lot more detail up front (thank you Bill & Steve). I apologize if I get too wordy everyone. Here it goes:
The end result is that I started working on a big project and when selecting "share" I'd burn to a DVD. It would go through all the processes of encoding and on the final step towards the end Premiere would give me the following message: Unknown Error: 2131042562. However a couple times it appeared I got further in which it would say it was burning to disc and then my system would reboot. Hard to say for sure what state it was at because I'd typically miss the reboot due to length of encoding process. To provide a little history, I suspected my system was infected a few months ago so I decided to rebuild and in the process upgrade the OS. I was running Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit. I ended up doing a low-level format and installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. Followed the rebuild to a "T" plus have an IT background and have been building PCs for many years. Prior to rebuild I didn't appear to have a problem and burning discs from within PE worked. This is first attempt to burn disc through PE since the rebuild. Everything looks fine with latest drivers installed and installed in the order that Dell documents. Enough of that and let me get to PC spec's and the project details.
Dell XPS 8100
Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
Intel i7-860 2.8GHz Quad Core
8GB RAM
Intel SATA RAID Controller - 3400 Series
2 x Seagate Barracuda 750GB HDD, 7200RPM SATA 32MB Cache (ST3750528AS) in RAID1 Configuration
Single partition, C:\ Drive, with 597GB free (probably not optimal for performance)
NVidia GeForce GTS 240 Display Adapter
DVD/BLURAY Combo burner: HLDS BH30N (can burn bluray) - running latest firmware A103
Pagefile: System Managed; min 16MB, recommended 12226MB, currently allocated 8151MB
Video camera used: JVC Z-HD300AU (Full HD 1920x1080; AVCHD)
Project:
Basically putting together a dance team video for my daughter's end of season banquet. It's a compilation of both mine and another person's video. I used my camera and the other individual's was also a JVC but not High Def.
Timeline - Just over 38 minutes
Settings; NTSC --> AVCHD-->Full HD 1080i 30 5.1 Channel
Intro was a "Universal Studios" intro that I found on the internet-->MPEG-4 Movie
Had 3 PE title screens with some effects and seperate audio playing a .m4a song
From there probably a total of 9 video clips consisting of other person's video--> .MOD file extension
Then has 20 photos with title screen with the girls with both the photo and names fading in/out.
During slideshow I had another audio soundtrack playing in background--> .m4a
Then came another 20 video clips mostly from my camera --> .MTS file extension
Throughput the video I either used some fade in/out between video clips or used some of PE's transitions
What I've done for testing:
- I tested the burner and burned a data disc with Roxio without issue.
- I created a new project using same NTSC settings. I first only took .MOD files and tried ripping and then tried it again with only using some of my clips (.MTS). Both were unsuccessful.
- I then changed NTSC format and install of Full HD I just select "HD 1080i 30 5.1 Channel". Again just creating a much smaller project with the steps prior and still no luck.
- I've also tried using bluray media instead of DVD+R but again it did not work.
- I've even disabled McAfee during the process of burning to disc to see if that made a difference.
- The only successful attempts I've had is when I share to my PC and export to a file. Was able to do that with my original project plus a couple of my test ones. I've done both an AVI and MPEG. Trying to determine which is really the best option/quality.
I've read that some people recommend exporting to a file because it provides a backup of the video and you don't have to rely on PE. That might be fine but want to be able to retain my disc menu's and on the occassion in which I record at the highest resolution on my video camera, that I can burn a bluray disc (which I have been successful doing through PE before). So might be missing a step on maintaining my menu and might need recommendation of a 3rd party software to keep menu and burn to bluray. Especially if I can't get past my issue. The end objective is to be able to rip a DVD so I can give one to each of the dance team girls.
At this stage I don't think I have more to add but I'm sure I overlooked something. I apologize if I put anyone to sleep. It is very possible that I'm overlooking something but have to admit that doing video editing and building home DVDs are new to me so still striving to learn more in this area. I hope that someone has had a similar experience or can perhaps give me some advice. I've combed through the system event logs and did go through the computer and can't find a single thing wrong with the OS or hardware. I know back in the day that people would recommend setting the min/max of the pagefile the same to reduce fragmentation of the pagefile. Not sure if this holds true to Windows 7 or not. Would think that there might be pros/cons to either configuration. Maybe something is awry with my rebuild.
Thanks again for everyone who have been patient enough to read through my post. Thanks in advance for any help that you might be able to provide.
Best regards,
Mark

Mark,
Well-stated. Here are a few comments, and some questions:
You have both HD and SD material, and plan on burning to DVD-Video, which will be SD. How are you handling the mixed footage?
It appears that you started with an HD Project Preset, to match your JVC's source video. Is that correct?
What about that SD material? Did you just Scale it up to match the HD material, or did you leave it with full letter-boxing and pillar-boxing, i.e. black bars all around?
Instead of the iTunes music, can you convert the M4a files to PCM/WAV @ 48KHz 16-bit? Adobe programs can have issues with MPEG Audio, whether MP3, or M4a. The great free audio-editing program, Audacity, should be able to do this easily. This might have zero to do with the issue, but is the workflow that is 100% for me, though I use Adobe Audition to convert to PCM/WAV.
What are the pixel x pixel dimensions of those still images? Are you Importing overly-large stills, and getting PrE to Scale them down to the Frame Size of your Project?
As for your Page File, I recommend setting that up to be statically managed, and for two reasons:
With a statically managed Page File, the OS is freed of having to calculate on the fly, and that takes CPU cycles and reads and writes.
Depending on the CPU and the I/O sub-system, if the dynamically managed Page File is expanded a bit more slowly, than the program is expecting, it can fault, rather than wait, assuming that the system has hung.
Though you have two physical HDD's with the RAID 1, they are seen as one, plus the redundancy. It also seems that you have partitions. Is your D:\ just the Dell Recovery Disc? If so, then everything is on one HDD, the OS, the program, the media, the Scratch Disks, everything. This can cause bottlenecks when editing and Exporting/Sharing. Is your RAID controlled via software, or by a dedicated hardware controller card? If via software, then there are many CPU cycles used for that, and especially with a RAID 1.
You have adequate free space, and that is better than many. PrE requires plenty of HDD space for the very large working files.
Do you have Windows Indexing ON for your HDD's? This can really get in the way, when editing.
Now, there are two ways to Burn a DVD - Burn to Disc (where you are getting your errors - right?), and Burn to Folder, which will retain the full Menu system and all authoring. That will create the full DVD VIDEO_TS folder structure, with the IFO, BUP and VOB's. All will be included. Then, one can use a burning utility, like the great, free ImgBurn, to do the physical burn. This also has the advantage of allowing one to slow down the burn speed. About half of max. is better.
When you do burn, I strongly recommend using either Verbatim, or Taiyo-Yuden blank media.
I would also carefully check your Timeline for ANY gaps in your Video. Those can cause Transcoding errors. This ARTICLE will give you some background and tips.
Glad that you have turned OFF your anti-virus software, when you are editing and authoring. Especially the newer real-time monitoring, has caused no end to grief, as it insists on scanning every file accessed, and this can cause many errors.
For the BSOD/reboot, this ARTICLE might be useful.
It seems that you have already addressed most of the things in this ARTICLE, but perhaps there is something that has been overlooked.
I am sure that I am overlooking some things, and hope that others will have ideas.
Good luck,
Hunt

DVD Ripping Question with Handbrake

So I was checking the discussion threads about converting DVDs to Ipod compatible files and found that I needed Handbrake. I downloaded it and set it up. I went to rip a commercial DVD of Lost, set the file format for MP4, the codecs for MPEG-4 Video/AAC Audio, framerate for Same as Source, and Encoder for ffmpeg. The file that popped out was "movie.mp4". It opened on it's own in quicktime but when I tried to import it into itunes, it appeared on the video desktop and plays fine in iTunes, but I got an error message saying the file wasn't the right format for an ipod to play it. I thought MP4 would work? Am I suppose to set the codecs to AVC? I did keep the aspect ration the same as the original.

Ky, thanks for trying to help, but your post is entirely inaccurate.
