Automate conversion of 50 ripped DVDs (Video_TS) to ISO container?

[tylerjfisher]

I'm looking to convert the file format of 50 ripped DVDs for a client while I'm at work today, to save me having to manually convert each Video_TS dir to an ISO (ISO9660+UDF) file.

I used AnyDVD to rip all of the DVDs to Video_TS format, and added an empty Audio_TS folder to each sub-directory. Conversion of a single file takes 10-15 minutes on my quad-core.

# files: 50 movies containing 1142 files in total (270GB)
OS: Windows 7 x64 Ultimate

I've heard of using ImgBurn to queue up multiple files to be BURNED, however I cannot figure out how to queue up multiple Video_TS files for conversion to ISO9660.

convert?

By "convert" I mean change the file format of the 50 DVDs I ripped to my external HDD from Video_TS to ISO. I'm not sure if there is any other meaning to the term.

If the disc is not protected, imgburn can rip the disc directly to an .iso image file (dvd decrypter can do the same), as can dvdfab.

I understand....it's your choice....if you want these to be ISO images then so be it....but having these DVDs as ISO images hampers access to the material, especially to a newbie who knows nothing about virtual drives/image mounting.

Hech54, you don't know anything about me, other than the fact that my post count on this forum is 2 or 3. Don't be condescending.

As a personal choice, I'd convert to AVI w/either XVid or h.264 but I'm just a newbie with no experience with daemon tools or virtual drive mounting.

Thanks for the help chum.

Hey smartass....I was agreeing with you. You are doing this for a client ....so I'm going under the assumption that the client wants these as ISO images. It's not for me to argue what the client wants....I'm just pointing out that the client may not know the limitations of ISO files.

tyler check the link I posted a few posts above. It has detailed info on how to do what you want using imgburn and a batch file.

basically it uses this bat file


@for /d %%i in (*.*) do "C:\Program Files (x86)\ImgBurn\imgburn.exe" /mode build /buildmode imagefile /src "%%i\" /dest "F:\Burn\%%i.iso" /FILESYSTEM "UDF" /UDFREVISION "2.01" /VOLUMELABEL "%%i" /rootfolder yes /noimagedetails /start /close


Save the above text (changing the bolded path information for imgburn and the destination path) as build_iso.bat and place it in the folder containing all of the dvd folders that you have already ripped. Then double click the bat file and let it do it's thing.
