X-MEN DVD PROBS!

[city hunter]

Im having trouble riping the X-MEN DVD. In smartripper there are 3 angles to the movie. 1)2.23mins 2)1.40mins 3)1.4omins. which one do I rip? Also I can't rip VTS_25_1.vob which is a trailer.


Can anyone help?
Cheers.

u should rip the length: 01:40:01:23 becuase the other 2 hour one repeats the movie ok

Doing It Right!

X-Men is encoded in a very strange way, the VOB structure includes 23 VOB ID's, which we have to split. So split the files using vStrip and a stream list, the correct command line is
vStrip @stream.lst -v -oXX this will split the files according to the VOB ID. now, ID #1 up to ID #8 is PURE progressive, field order A. so nothing special about it. ID #9 is INTERLACED, field order B, and 10-23 are again, PROGRESSIVE, field order A. the idea here, is that you have to save 3 DVD2AVI project files, for each set of ID'S (1-8, 9, 10-23), encode 1-8 and 10-23 as 23.976 with pulldown using field order A, and then applying inverse telecine on ID #9, and encoding it in 23.976 with pulldown flags using field order B, then mergine them all together and adding audio. that's about it. sophisticated, huh? Enjoy!

Is the problem he is having with X-Men a common one. So far the only one I've ripped is the Labyrinth and that was easy going. If it is common or if it's not where can I go that will teach me all the jargon that was used in the prev. reply, because to me that was all greek, and I understood about three words of it.
Thanks alot.

I ripped X-MEN (R4 PAL) and it worked just like every other DVD I had (DVD Decrypter --> Flask --> no problems, perfect quality).
