Rip an MPEG1-encoded DVD back to a MPEG file

[rolands]

Hi! I'm not sure if this should be in the "newbie" forum or not, but here it is anyways...

I've been encoding DVD with MPEG1 video to fit 6-7 hours on one disc. (BTW, this is great with kids videos!) Does anyone know how I can rip these back into MPEG1 files?

I've tried Smartripper and DVD2AVI but it just doesn't like MPEG1-encoded DVDs.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Roland

DVD Shrink?

demultiplex with vobedit?

I've been wondering this too, as I am mazking seinfeld dvd's with 16-18 episodes per disk.

You can rip the MPG with DVDDecryptor. Then, hopefully, you can chop it up using your tool of choice.

Then, you have to de-multiplex and convert the audio back to 44 khz, the re-multiplex before making a VCD(assuming it's still 224 kbps?). Awful lot of work!

Demux with tmpgenc.

To Baldrick who suggested VOBEdit...thank you. It worked like a charm.

• * I ripped the video back on to my hard drive (although I could have demuxed it straight from the DVD).
  * Opened up the VOB in VOBEdit to be demuxed.
  * Demuxed the MPEG stream.
  * Demuxed the MPA Audio stream.
  * Used TMPGEnc to perform a Simplex Mux of the audio & video stream.
  * Voila! I got my MPEG1.
