A Guide to Copying DVD Movies
- Status
My first post i.e. the tutorial already contains links to good applications for ripping a DVD movie to DivX/Xvid. Also look at the linked tutorial for step by step instructions. I admit the process takes quite some time but you have the option to virtually change anything you want.
By the way, DVDCopy 4 Platinum does one click ripping to DivX, Xvid, WMV, etc. and i must say, it does a pretty good job. A WMV rip could produce file sizes in the range of 350-400MB, while a decent quality Xvid rip could take 1.x GB (i.e. 2 CD rip.)
Hope this helps. Good luck and thanks for dropping by.

I haven't tried any other application instead of nero 6 but im fine with dvd decrypter and I haven't got any errors from it except for cylindical reading error on movie called "Spanglish"(which requires dvd43 for the solution like what I said from the first reply to this topic.)
@SignificantMind: My last post was a reply to hsnayvid's question. However, i could see how you got confused and defensive.
Anyhow, thanks for sharing and adding to the topic.
Maybe other forum members could post links to such softwares or tutorials to get rid of errors and I will append it to the original tutorial.

First of all Cyco, this is a forum where all kinds of people get along, so it is advicable not to use short words as we use in SMS. I am sure typing the whole word wouldn't be such a pain.
As for your problem, have one thing clear that if you compress the video file, you will loose quality. If the compression ratio is less, the loss is less and if more, the loss is going to be huge.
Try DVD Shrink to compress you DVD movies, but for that you will need all the files, i.e. the .bup and .ifo filies along with the .vob files. Incase if you haven't copied these files, try to regenerate these files with Nero Vision Express. If you want to store these .vob files in some other format, try InterVideo DVDCopy 4. Is has pretty good options.

There's ofcourse a quality fall, but that is so less, or better say in such a way that we genreally arn't able to make it out. It only is clearly visible when we try to compress too much. Moreover, there are people who are too quality concious and they just try to find out places where they can find a quality loss. Incase if you want to keep it for your personal collection, you can ofcourse go for it as I do the same.

Try WinAVI Video Converter,it supports encoding to RMVB and a whole lotta other formats.

a better method would be to use IfoEdit to create the ifo's

amazin software .. got the ifos , bups etc ..
now the only prob remaining is how to convert the dvd into a smaller size .. say 2.1 GB into 1GB or less ??
i tried dvd shrink and it loaded the files [only when i used the option - Create a PGC for each new VOBID] ....
but i cant find how to compress it ...
i even read a tutorial but didnt get it ....

In DVD Shrink
Preferences--->Target DVD size--->Custom
though i would not suggest this method as it leads to a lot of loss in quality.You would be much better off encoding into Nero Digital/RMVB.

I hope i am not diverting the topic..am posting as its related to DVD's...
Well everybody here probably know that the Pirated DVD's we get in market ..which mostly contains 4-5 movies..in a single DVD and i have even noticed that the DVD is 4.7 GB...and more importantly it even works on SIMPLE dvd player. so how does it work..i mean how does they create this kinda DVD.
Well 4-5 DVD Quality movies are not possible in single 4.7 GB DVD. So may be they burn the movies of VCD Quality or even worse. So how do they do that.
I have some 4-5 VCD movies and i needed to burn them on Single DVD. and most importantly i want them to run on SIMPLE dvd player..!!!
Any ideas , suggestion....people..
