Shrink is known to take longer to rip, and also less reliably. WHY? not necessary to know since there is no workaround (unless you are able to reverse-engineer the code and modify it? can you )

[ozrookie]

Ok....is there any good guide for dvd decrypter for just ripping the main movies with (dts and dolby digital) as well as the sub titles???

I find it quite confusing when there are so many files in there and dun know which is the right one.

Any help for be great!

Cheers

when you use DVD Decrypter to rip the main movie it includes all audio tracks and subtitles associated with the movie. you don't have to do a thing. now if you plan to use DVD Shrink to compress these files you are going to have a problem; it requires all files from DVD, or use IFOEdit for a workaround. else use DVD2One on the main movie rip to transcode (it doe not require all the files like Shrink).

Yeah, Shrink may take longer to rip than Decryptor. But keep in mind that at the same time it does the transcoding. It is saving one step, and some disk space. I think to get the job done faster from start to finish, meaning getting a burnable VIDEO_TS folder, using Shrink alone would be faster.

I found this helped me when doing dvd to dvd.
Its in two parts one for "layer 1" discs "dvd 5" and one for "layer 2" discs "dvd 9"


DVD-5 to one recordable DVD
How to make a exact copy of DVD-5 Video, meaning that everything will be included on the recordable DVD such as menus and extra materials and no video quality loss.

Tools required:
DVD Decrypter (Free software).

Start DVD Decrypter to rip the DVD-Video to your HD (remove the DVD encryption). (If you have problems running DVD Decrypter read this).
1. Select Mode -> ISO -> Read
2. Select your DVD Drive.
3. Under Number of Layers: it should say 1, it is a DVD-5 disc.
4. Select where to rip. You must have more free space than the size of the DVD, check the size to the right(a.).
5. Click on the DVD>HD-image to rip the DVD to your HD.



It will take about 5-20 minutes depending how fast your DVD drive is.



Now you can directly burn the image to a recordable DVD. Insert an empty DVD-R/W or DVD+R/W in your DVD Writer. In DVD DVDDecrypter:
1. Select Mode -> ISO -> Write
2. Open your created .ISO file.
3. Select your DVD Writer
4. Burn the DVD by clicking the HD>DVD-image (test on a DVD-RW or DVD+RW first).


Done.

And now for "dvd 9" i found this the best and quickest way

DVD-9 to one recordable DVD using DVD2ONE
How to copy a DVD-9 Video to one recordable DVD. Using this method you will lose some video quality because it requires that you reconvert the DVD-9 to one recordable DVD-5. It will only take about about 30-60 minutes to convert and burn it.

Tools required:
DVD Decrypter (Free software),
DVD2ONE (Trial available)
CopyToDVD (Trial available).

Start DVDDecrypter to rip the DVD-Video to your HD(remove the DVD encryption). (If you have problems running DVD Decrypter read this).
1. Select Mode -> ISO -> Read
2. Select your DVD Drive.
3. Under Number of layers it should say 2, it is a DVD-9 disc.
4. Select Mode -> FILE


Rip the movie in file mode.
1. Select Edit->Select All
2. Select where to rip the files, you must have more free space than the size of the movie, check at the bottom right(a.).
3. Click on the DVD>HD-image to rip.


It will take about 5-40 minutes depending how fast your DVD drive is.


Close DVD Decrypter.

Reconvert(transcode) with DVD2ONE.
Launch DVD2ONE
1. Choose the source where you ripped the DVD files.
2. Choose a new destination, create a new empty VIDEO_TS folder. It requires a 4.38 GB new free HD space.
3. Select Full disk under Copy Mode if you want to keep all menus and extra materials. If you only want the main movie choose movie-only under Copy Mode. If you choose movie-only you will get a bit better video quality, especially if it is very much extra materials and big menus. But if you want everything you must use Full disk.
4. Hit Next



(Optional, only if converting in movie-only copy mode)
1. Select the main movie, the part that is the longest.
2. Hit Next



1. Select which audio tracks you want to keep. If you remove many audio tracks the video quality may improve a bit.
2. Select which subtitles you want to keep.
3. Select Angle 1.
4. Hit Next to convert to one DVD.


It will take about 15-30 minutes.



Burning with CopyToDVD. It is a very simple burning tool that can burn DVD-Video.
Start CopyToDVD
1. Select File -> Write DVD Video
2. Select the video_ts.ifo file that you find where you converted your video.
Now will CopyToDVD burn the video. Try first on RW media.


(You can also use InstantDVD, Nero, Prassi PrimoDVD or RecordNow Max to burn the VIDEO_TS folder.)

Done.


One problem here is that "copytodvd" would not work for me it kept saying "trial version expired" even though i had just downloaded it about 2 hours before i used this guide,so i used nero to burn was great th quality on bot dvd5 and dd9's that i did was awesome.

Guide was wrote by that good old bloke Baldwick

Another question.....i want to use dvd decrypter to rip the main movies plus the sub-title only what is the best way to approach it, i am new to all this if possible step by step would be great

Thanks once again

I wish it only took me twenty minutes per disc to rip in dvd shrink. Most of the time it takes me 40-50 minutes.

[powaking]

Actually if you want to just rip the movie and audio track with DVD SHrink then what you need to do is click on ReAuthor, drag the Movie TITLE1 from the first window over to the new window. Deselect the subtitles and any other foreign language. Then click on backup. Now you just have the movie and nothing more. Burn the .vob files as you normally would.

I have done it this way for movies that would compromise too much of the video quality if I had kept everything intact.

[wulf109]

If you have DVD Decrypter in ifo mode to rip only the movie,select "stream processing". It will show you a list of all the audio and subtitle streams on the disk in addition to the video stream. You can then select which "streams" to include in the ripped files. Be sure to check the stream rip check box.
