converting DVD to DIVX with gui4FFmpeg13

[hilario]

Hi all:

I need to convert some of my dvd's to avi (divx).
I'm trying to follow the following guide https://forum.videohelp.com/viewtopic.php?p=1271288#1271288

The results are : or an incomplete avi file (only part of the movie)
Or the message : could not open E:video_TS:name of the movie.avi
Here's a discription of all my steps:

1-I Open file and double click on the 1st VOB file
on the source I can see the information about the file duration: 00:00:08,1 bitrate 1242 etc... etc....

2 Target: I select = mpeg4

3-format: PAL

4= bitrate: changed according to movie inf. 1242

5-On video = 0
audio= 1

Then I start adding all the other VOB files making, Batch + Add to batch.(add current command)
When all the files are added I select batch + run batch the encoding starts, but I can see the information on the DOS box that time is only 44,16 when it should be more than 2 hours !!

What am I doing wrong ??

I have only 1 doubt regarding the guide:

I dont have on the menu the option : ADD TO BATCH !! I have instead "ADD CURRENT COMMAND" dont know if it's the same !!. Maybe this is the problem ??? !!!

Someone van help me please ??.

Hi

Altough i dont have a solution for your problem, can you tell me if gui4ffmpeg uses the divx5/6 codec as i think that tool uses the divx4 codec.

if you're looking for simplicity theres some other tools outhere, i use avi.Net but theres AutoGK and DRdivx2.

That program looks a bit outdated

The results are : or an incomplete avi file (only part of the movie)
.

have you tried Pgcdemux to demux the main movie to one single file and then convert that file?

Humm Ricardouk:

I'm afraid I dont know the answer to yr question.
But I will follow yr suggestions and will come back.

thank you very much.

Hi again Ricardouk:

Can you pls explain hoa to join the 4 vob files into only one using the Pgcdemux , as you suggested ??As I can only select 1 VOB file on the imput IFO !!

hilario.

[ricardouk]

Open the IFO containing those multiple PGCs in PGCDemux. Make sure you're in PGC Mode. Make sure PGC Selection Domain is Titles. Under Options, check only "Create A PGC VOB" (along with "One File Per VID"?). Choose your PGC number in the drop down box, choose an Output Folder, and "Process".

you can use dvd decrypter in ifo mode aswell.

i think you should see if you're converting to divx4 as quality is lower than using xvid1.1 or divx 5 or 6.


open one of your converted files with gspot and post the screnshot here if you can

OK Ricardo:

(eu nem reparei que eras português)

Let's forget for a while pgcdemux.

I used now DVD decrypter, togerther with autoGordian.

My problem now is :

When I select the files I want to convert to avi on AutoGK ( afer using DVD Dcrypter) I still have
3 VOB files !!! which ones do I have to select ???
This is my problem now.

Obrigado desde já pela tua ajuda . (e paciencia)
hilario.

Hi, Autogk doesnt really need to have all vob files in one, just select the ifo file. i only suggested to use pgcdemux because your avi files with ffmpeg were only partially converted

read this guide in portuguese

hope that helps

Tks Ricardo:

Its done:

And its perfect.

I will use this system from now on.

hilario.

EDIT: I have only one doubt: Which is the right IFO file that I have to select ??
As for an example another DVD to be converted has the following IFO files:
VTS_01_0.IFO (58 KB)
VIDEO_TS.IFO (12 KB)

?????

[ricardouk]

VTS_01_0.IFO

this might vary if you're ripping episodic dvds, it might be VTS_02 for the second episode and so on.

When ripping with DVDdecrypter click on EDIT>>>>SELECT MAIN MOVIE ONLY and it will copy just the right ifo file

(Boa sorte nessas conversões )
