Either way, if you select Re-Author mode you'll see a list of titles on the right.

I use it to rip and re-author at the same time with AnyDVD running in the background decrypting if required, but it should open the ISO files AnyDVD creates (are you doing it in two steps because you keep an ISO of the full DVD?). It's set to DVD5 by default but if you change it to DVD9 or something larger (ie 50,000MB) it means you won't have to worry about disabling DVD Shrink's compression each time as it'll never try to shrink anything. If you go into it's preferences there's an option for setting the target output size. I haven't used DVD Decryptor for ripping much but you might want to try DVD Shrink. I guess I could also explore alternate sub extraction tools, since placating VobSubber's need for an IFO file is what's causing the hiccup in my workflow. Based on that it seems simplest to modify my existing flow a bit: create the IFO file (which VobSubber likes) and extract my subs from the VOB first, then delete/rename the IFO file (which File Indexer doesn't like) and then Index the VOB directly. As Zathor clarified earlier, the IFO copy it creates was causing problems during the File Indexer process, but remove that file and the VOB itself seems fine. I agree DVD Decrypter is long out of development, but since the DVD format is stable I figured it was still OK to use as long as it produced something appropriate for MeGUI to work with. After that it's just the normal MeGUI flow of File Indexer/Script Creator/encode/mux. MakeMKV saves me from running VobSubber and hiding the IFO file afterwards (the workaround I described in a previous post), but that savings is offset with having to run an external demuxing utility like MKVcleaver to extract the subs and also the m2v file (to avoid the potential issue hello_hello described).

The forum is offline so I didn't get to look up any additional info, but I did try comparing my workflow with MakeMKV to my existing DVD Decrypter one and it's basically an even match for the early steps I've been discussing. I just installed and played with MakeMKV a bit.
The norm is to output a constant frame rate, and plugins such as TIVTC and Decomb won't be much use for hybrid sources unless ffms2 or l-smash are told by MeGUI to behave like DGIndex, which I'm pretty sure it doesn't do at present. For a hybrid DVD though, you'd probably either have to set "repeat=true" or "fpsnum=30000, fpsnum=1001" for the expected type of CFR output. And MeGUI has an option for enabling/disabling "force film" and adjusting the threshold but not when indexing with ffms2 or l-smash.įor ffms2 "rffmode=1" is required to honour pulldown flags and when it's enabled, ffms2 will output a constant frame rate.įor LWLibavVideoSource the option is "repeat=true", but it's ignored when VFR to CFR conversion is enabled by setting a fpsnum value. The reason for that is both ffms2 and l-smash ignore pulldown flags by default, and in the case of hybrid NTSC video (combinations of 23.976fps and 29.970fps) I'm reasonably sure they'd both treat it as variable frame rate and output the average frame rate, so there's potential for unpleasantness unless you're aware of that. I've ripped with MakeMKV on occasion but I feel better remuxing the video as a TS file with TSMuxer, or extracting it as an mpg file first.
Nothing against MakeMKV, but personally I prefer to keep mpeg2 video in a container DGIndex can work with (assuming DGIndexNV isn't an option). More importantly, the forced/auto-loading of the IFO in File Indexer was unexpected to me and I thought it best to bring that to your attention. I guess the point of my last post was that while I'd like to not use or create the IFO file at all (based on your previous comments), it seems I need it to be able to extract the subs via VobSubber. It also seems to expect the subtitles to have already been pre-extracted, so that doesn't help with the "hiding the IFO" workaround I described previously. One Click Encoder behaves the same as File Indexer by auto-loading the IFO even though I point it to the VOB. If I point File Indexer to the disc/ISO data directly it will extract all the audio files to the working directory (the Select Tracks option is greyed out). Such as choosing a single audio track rather than having to extract all of them. My workflow is usually just to encode a single title off of a DVD, then mux it with the original AC3 audio and subs/captions.ĭVD Decrypter just seems to be a fast and easy way to identify and extract only the desired data for transcoding.
Or depending on your workflow / use case you can also use OneClick on your source which will do everything for you. May I ask why you are using DVDDecrypter? If you directly process the source it should be easier.
