ripping in half d1 resolution

[acaltha]

is there an easy and fast way to rip a dvd to half d1 size. i want to keep the subtitles, just resize the movie.

You need to re-encode and there's nothing quick and easy about that.
I'm not sure about how to keep the subs either.

Try dvd Rebuilder. There is option to "resize to 1/2 d1" in options> avs options. You can use the free internal encoder or for better quality use cce basic about $60.

i already tried to use rebuilder but i can't get it to work properly.

There's lots of advice/guides on Doom9.org site. Rb is a bit tricky to set up but once it's working it's very easy to use. Try different versions of the decoder MPEG2dec3.dll until you find one that works, put a copy in windows system 32 folder and avisynth plugins folder. This is what solved my no output problem.

Exactly. Try setting it up again, and more carefully this time. Good luck.

No fast and easy way to rip a full D1 movie to half D1 - you must re-encode.
