For crying out f$&*@$g loud!!!!!

Hello,
I have no problems ripping movies, my problems start when I try a dvd with six individual 30min episodes.
I've tried ripping the whole dvd or just the individual files (there tends to be three vob files per episode), yet I still get sound out of sync in the later episodes.
The first couple of episodes tend to be fine but the rest get progressively worse, and by episode six the sound and video is miles out.
What am I doing wrong, it's driving me insane?!?!?!?!?!?
Many thanks,
Will

I feel exactly the same way, I'm getting this out of sync stuff too by ripping only chapters.

If any body knows the answer I'd like to know it too.

First off, what are you trying to make, vcd svcd? Second, what programs are you using, and after which step does it become off sync?

[FoxGarrison]

Try using SmartRipper with the latest ASPI drivers. I have yet (knock on wood) to experience any out of synch problems with this configuration. Then again I have a 1.8Ghz Intel chip with 256Meg Rambus Ram and an 80Gig hard drive--I'm not sure if processing power can be a factor.

I've tried both svcd and vcd in the TMPGEnc template folder.
I'm using an AMD 800 Duron with 512mb RAM copying to x 2 80gb Maxtor 7200rpm D740X hdd's on a RAID 0 config.
The out of sync becomes noticable after TMPGEnc - before burning (I didn't know you could test for out of sync problems in either CladDVD *or* DVD2AVI)
The software I use is listed in my original post )

Well it sounds like you may have already done this but...

In DVD2AVI only select 1 episode at a time. If you frameserve and encode all episodes at once you will get desync. This bug is in the readme.

Other than that, sorry I have no idea. I've never gotten desync in tv episode dvds like this.

Many thanks.
Is frameserve a DVD2Avi term, I've heard this a lot and not understood it.
I appreciate encode is what TMPGEnc is doing.
Thanks again,

Is frameserve a DVD2Avi term?

To "frameserve" a move means that there is (at least) two applications running, one churning out frames of video (and often running invisibly in the background), the other one receiving them and doing something with them.

This is basically the only option when you need to hand over totally *uncompressed* video from one app to another, since 90 minutes of uncompressed DVD quality video would take between 80 and 214 GB of hard drive space, depending on the format of the color data. This is just too much stuff to handle realistically for a non-Croesus private citizen with today's drives.

A common frame-server is DVD2AVI. When an application opens up a .d2v file as its source, a component of DVD2AVI is started invisibly in the background and whenever the application, e.g. an encoder, needs the next frame of the DVD video, the framserver will create it on-the-fly from the compressed source. Thus only 1 uncompressed frame needs to exist at any one time, and this can easily be stored in RAM memory, without need for writing it to the hard disk.

Another, very flexible frameserver is AVIsynth.


The corresponding UNIX / Linux concept is called a "pipe" which is short for pipeline.

Thanks, clearer now
