Trying To Rip Episodes From DVD

[MONARCH]

I Am Trying To Rip The Sopranos DVD Second Season And When I Try To Rip The DVD It Does Not Rip All The Episodes From The DVD How Do I Make Sure I Get All Of Them?

Do you mean you're not getting the complete episode? I've encountered the problem on TNG episode disks. On Smartripper use file mode not movie mode.

I Get One Full Episode Then Part Of Another. There Are 4 Episodes On THe Disk. I Tried using Smart ripper and that did not work so i used dvddecrypter and still no luck. What is the file method?

I see the file method and it shows 8 .vob files but i do not think that is all of them because when i rip the .vob files all of the episodes are still not present.

If you still have the DVD disk open it in Explorer and see how many vob files are on the DVD,that's all of them. Does that match what you ripped?
Open Smartripper,in movie mode it shows the length of movie(episode) on the disk. Are they the same length in time?
If they are not that's the problem.
On the TNG disks the first three episodes are complete in movie mode but episode 4 in short. Rip it,switch to file mode and rip vob 8 to same directory as you put episode 4 in.

I am a newbie myself, so keep that in mind when you read my reply.

I ripped my first Sopranos CD using Smartripper. I used the directions from www.dvd2dvdr.com - they were excellent. I had to rip each episode separately - each episode made a a3c and a m2v file (sound and video). Then I used Spruce up and imported both episodes. The first two fit on one DVD - it would probably require rempeg to fit more.

I made a simple menu with a selection for each episode, but no chapters, and then processed with Spruceup. Then I had to use Ifoedit to make the files 16x9 (SpruceUp made them 4:3, which looked compressed) - very intimidating, but simple once you understand why you're doing it. Then I burned it with Prassi.

The biggest problem for me was that I didn't realize I could keep importing episodes into SPruce. This sounds simple enough, but it took me a couple of weeks - I was just stumped at a couple different points.

Good luck!
