DVD Decrypter help

[dlqballer]

Hi there,

I have had no problems backing up movies thus far . . .but one movie is baffling me. I am trying to backup My Big Fat Greek Wedding . . .but I only want the widescreen version. I usually use DVD Decrypter to rip the file, then use DVD2ONE to do whatever it does. For some reason though I can't rip the widescreen version. I see there are two versions of vob files, and I have tried ripping them both, but no widescreen. I can choose widescreen when i play the movie and select it on the menu, but can't rip it. Can someone help me?

Thanks

Hi- I've had the same problem with one sided DVD's that offer both wide and full screen, where you choose in the menu, rather than flip the disc. I usually just rip the main movie files with Decrypter, then run DVD2AVI. I tryed the set of files Decrypter originally picked (at startup), and DVD2AVI viewed them as a full screen version. I then re-ripped, but chose another set of files myself (the set I thought to be the widescreen version). This time DVD2AVI was closer, but instead of giving me the 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen version, it stretched the video into a 1.85:1 aspect ratio. I figured these were the set of files I needed, so I just wrote an AviSynth Script to Frameserver to TMPGEnc with. That did the trick, and I was able to retain the original aspect ratio, after a little work. I've found that with certain DVD's like that, you just have to get the nearest set of files, and sometimes force the true ratio yourself. Hope This Helps!

take all the dvd to the drive & then use ifo edit to check the ifo on each vobset & U will see what one was widescreen making it alot easier 4 u. then run ifo edit & go to vob extras & remove the film U want & delete other audio & subs U dont require. This should then make the film the right size to burn anyway

Thats the problem with using a program like dvd2one before you know what your doing. Finding out which set of VOB files has the 16:9 aspect ratio is dvd ripping 101. By the way, its the VTS_01 set.
