DVD to be streamed to xbox360

[sance]

wel it seems that i fix one problem and another one apears.

in this case,, i have a dvd on my HD which i would like to stream via Tversity to my xbox360.

the dvd exists of 2 directory's

audio_ts
video_ts

as you can see in the screenshot,, mpc says it have 2 files,, audio and video..

and as you can see it have 6ch audio ac3,, which is not supported by xbox360 ,, and probably the reason why it won't let me play the file..
but since this is not a .mkv container its not allowing me to fix the file with "gotsent" ,, (which would make things much easyer)

so i would like to achive the effect of playing it on xbox360 without having to transcode the "video"
what could i do to make it play?

all ideas are welcome,, as i have been bussy like the whole day today to make it work and didn't get much luck really.

a little update.

method i am trying right now is;

use MKVMERGE gui,,
load the vob

mux the files


load the muxed .mkv to gotsent

trying this right now as i speak..

hoop this wil work

Have you just tried join the main vob files to one vob and play ? Join using vobmerge or rip to one vob from the dvd using dvd shrink or dvd decrypter.

[sance]

didn't do the trick,, as gotsent couldn't detect the audio format

i am doint this right now,, hoop it wil have some results,, i used dvd shrink,, this time i selected the "directory comment" which says in description is 2ch audio.


wil try to rename the vob to mpg extension..

[sance]

not working,,

it seems like this is not really going to work with these vob files,,

i am just so confused,, couse i think i have downloaded like 100 diffirent tools and they are all supposed to do something,, and i have no clue what they are anymore..

[Baldrick]

Can you play the vob files using wmp11?

[sance]

thanks for your reply,,,


WMP11 couldn't play this file,, interesting couse its playing fine on MPC .

so i gues WMP11 is similiar to xbo360 if not the same thing...

[sance]

any clues what it could be Baldrick?

[Baldrick]

MPC has a built in mpeg2-decoder. You need a mpeg2-decoder that works with wmp. I guess ffdshow should work fine. And try also search in tversity's forum.

[sance]

to be honest i don't think have that knowledge to help me out,, i gues i have no other choice but to reencode...


is winavi 9 a good choice?

is winavi 9 a good choice?

Not for anything video related. However if you have some spare HDD space you just have to use up, by all means install it.

[sance]

wel what is wrong with winavi 9,

i have just converted one .vob movie into .avi,, with its default encoder ZJmedia encoder mpeg4, it went pretty fast,, a movie of 2 hours was converted in less then 30 min and the quality drop is almost not noticable...it seems to me winavi is the only choice for encoding fast without losing much on quality, but after all every program which would re encode would take off some quality so nothing to be done about it.

This forum is littered with the sad and sorry history of WinAVI. Every patch release rained down a flurry of complaints and questions about why it no longer worked, why it was out of sync, or why it wouldn't play in this player or that. Most of them came here looking for help because WinAVI support is non-existent, and ironically, mentioned us on their website as somewhere to ask for help. We of course obliged by telling people to uninstall it and get a real program instead.

I know WinAVI has a core of supporters who like it because it bright and colourful and easily pirated (cue indignant protests about having paid for the software), but history here has shown many of us that it is nothing more than a waste space on any HDD.

There are far better free alternatives that have proper support. Speed isn't everything (ask your girlfriend, if you have one), and speed rarely goes hand in hand with quality (again, your girlfriend can vouch for this).

IMO, WinAVI is unreliable, substandard, poorly supported, and sub-par when it comes to quality.

If you are happy with it, use it.

But don't ask if it is a good product to use, then get offended if someone tells you it isn't.

[sance]

wel some comments made me laugh, computers technology and having sex with your girlfriend is something very very diffirent and cannot be compared :P , i don't feel ofended but i feel like you are bashing winavi for not a really good reason, as in my case it proved to work ok.

you are probably right about winavi not having good support, wel i can't say anything about it couse i haven't had any problems yet.

i have tryed and downloaded many tools (mostly freeware) which haven't really done much except waste my hdd. while others like gotsent, vob2mpg are the only ones that actualy left a good impression on me.
