[Haku]

I am trying to rip terminator 2 ultimate edition dvd i got all the.vob file and load them into dvd 2 avi and the whole film is there yet when i save project on the statistics box film type keeps changeing between ntsc and film then the percentage.Then when it finishes u have a 24min wav file instead of a 2hour 30min wav file and when u encode it to a mpg u only have 24 min of film what do i need to do to get the whole film please

You rip every VOB or just what you thought the main movie was??
Cause I usally only rip the main movie VOB's (usally 5 or more vobs totaling anywhere from 3 to 9.?? gb....Now if you just rip what ever Smart ripper sugests it's not always the movie files.
Most Software DVD players can play vobs from your hard drive..Make sure you got the right ones....As I have never had a problem using Smartripper>DVD2AVI>Tmpg.

these r defintly the movie files ,its a region 1 dvd and i am ripping it on a uk pc if that matters ,any way all the vobs rip fine its just when it comes to dvd2avi it wont do anymore than 24 mins ,but the progress bar at the bottem moves throgh the whole film but u only end up with 24min

Make sure you ripped the movie as an "angle" rather than the individual VOB files.

T2 Ultimate Edition has multiple angles within the same VOB.

Ok i just ripping the movie vob files like i have done with the rest of my films.SO how do i select the main angle and rip that like u said

[Dave B]

On the left hand side of SmartRipper there is a an option to select the "Rip Method". Make sure "Movie" is selected rather than "File" or "Backup"

I think from memory, SmartRipper will default the target to the longest angle on the DVD... this is usually the movie. Click Start and perform the DVD2AVI operation on the new VOBs.

Ok i opened smart ripper and selected program chain 3 ,angle 1 as this is the film with all the extra scenes in.Then i reripped the vob files and checked them all with power dvd and it is definitly the unedited verson of T2 which is the one i want to rip.Then when it comes to dvd to avi it ethier just gives the 24min file or if i watch it to see what its doing it just freezes about half way through.There is nothng wrong with the vob files as i checked them all and they extracted fine and play fine.So is there any thing else i can use in place of dvd2avi ,or is the dvd protected in some way this is the region 1 us dvd that comes in a tin cover

Hi there.

This may or may not be true but I heard on the grape vine that the master press of T2 had an error in it that most DVD players get round but when it comes to ripping programs like smartripper it doesnt. Seems to mess up around the layer change.

I myself have tried backing up my copy and had NO luck with ANY software......

good luck!
