Dvd2One 1.2.3 questions and problems

[younso]

Hi!
I have been trying to rip and convert the Disney movie Atlantis. After ripping with DVD Decrypter 3.1.6.0 I then try to convert the 7.89 GB folder with Dvd2One 1.2.3. Using the default value of 4472 MB I end up with a Video_ts folder of 4702 MB according to Nero. When I reduce the default size to 4372 MB, I get a folder that is 4694 MB big and still too big for Nero. I even reduced the default size to 4072 GB and I still get a folder of 4693 MB. So, what am I doing wrong? For some reason the files are not being reduced enough. Other films have been no problem. I am using the variable compression mode and full disc function.

A suggestion: after converting, run the Video_ts folder that is too big again in DVD2One. Maybe this will work.

Admittingly I don't know the answer but maybe try it with the CONSTANT option VS the VARIABLE option.

Also I generally set the size to 4350 ... going higher than that can (I stress can as in a possibility not a certainty) cause playback problems due to filling up the DVD recordable just a bit too close to 100% MAX size.

Hi all.

younso, you could also try DVD Shrink v3.0 beta 5.
It might be able to handle this title better.

These are the correct blank sizes
DVD-R 4,489MB 4,706,074,624 bytes or 4.383GB
DVD+R 4,483MB 4,700,372,992 bytes or 4.377GB

Setting the size to 4472MB should be fine



However there must be a bug in DVD2one 1.2.3 because it always creates larger files than its set at variable bitrate.

Yeah it is a prob with Dvd2one, but they fixed it in the new version (1.30)

"Fixed a small problem in the compression ratio calculation, which could affect the destination size estimation of the variable ratio mode"
