Encoding Help Please.

[Echoes]

Im trying to Rip a region 1 dvd, The Green Mile.
Im using Smart Ripper, Dvd2Avi and TMPGEnc.
The first to parts go fine its when i get to making the vcds that the trouble starts.
There seems to be no audio even though the file is there and is working, its only when i try to make the vcd that there seem s to be no audio.

Ive ripped Dvds before and they have worked fine but they have been region 2.
Is there anything im missing out???

Can anybody help with this??

did you select the correct audio track in dvd2avi? look at the smartripper stream processing tab to find the track you want(first stream in list is track 1)

Its the correct audio track and when i open it with winamp it plays fine.
Its only whe i try and use it to make the vcd that it doesnt work.

When doind the frames bit there is no audio trace its just a flat line.

I ripped a region 2 disk and it was fine.

They are both the same format so i dont have clue whats wrong.

Im lost somebody help...............................

i had same problem with titanic and other really long movies (3+ hrs)....the reason is that media player and tmpgenc can't handle .wav files that are too big.

i bet if you play the .wav file from green mile on media player, it won't play.

what i did was to split the .vob files into 2 sections and treated them as two separate movies.....encode both and combine later if needed...or just put them on separate discs...

Try using dvdx to rip them its a lot easyer..converts from dvd to mpeg all in one..all you have to do then is split it...Iv'e had no problems at all with it. :D

Cheers
I will give it a try..

If i have to split the vob files does that mean i have to rip the dvd again because i no longer have access to the disk.
But i do have the rip on my pc any help would be great and info on how to do it would be cool.

cheers
