DVD to WMV using AutoMKV

[Ratt]

Uhm actually I figured out the problem so never mind haha.

But actually I got an issue still. I'm making a video in Windows Media Player, and imported the movie from a dvd that i'm getting clips from for my video, but for some reason only about 27 minutes of the dvd imported. Did I do something wrong? Does W.M.M. only upload a certain amount of video or something? I just got to know how to upload the whole movie, or at least how much I want. Thanks

BHH

Well I redid it, using DVD fab 5 to convert it and upload it like before, and it worked fine this time and uploaded everything I needed.

Anyways, thanks for this guide and the help! It's great

Can someone tell me why AutoMKV 0.95 is only doing half my video. I have a dvd that is 25 minutes long but AutoMKV will only grab 14 minutes of the video. That 14 minutes looks great but I need the whole 25 minutes. I walked through the tutorial and make all the settings match. I'm trying to go from DVD to WMV. Any help would be great.

Edit - I'm pulling the DVD straight from the DVD drive and not the hard drive, not sure if that is a problem.


Problem fixed!!!!!!!!
I didn't realize there were more than 1 VOB file on the DVD, so I was only doing the VOB file that was the biggest but it turns out I need to do all of them and then join the wmv together. there may be a easier way but this should work for me.

scarr105: Open the ifo instead of the vobs and automkv will load the entire dvd.

Hello everybody. I need help with my settings in autoMKV. Forgive me if this is a redundant post, but I could not find an answer anywhere.

I am getting vertical black bars when converting a widescreen file from disc (.vob) to .wmv. I am using the default settings for the program. The wmv turns out great except for the vertical bars and being squashed from the sides. The horizontal bars are almost gone as well. I do not want to resize the final wmv at all, and I cannot find the right settings for the task.

Can anyone help? Thanks in advance, this is an awesome program!

Do you see the black bars in the vob also? No crop settings in AutoMKV?

thanks Baldrick,

VOB has widescreen "letterbox" bars, and there are no bars on the sides in the VOB. No crop settings that I can see. Here are my advanced settings:

Hi, i have tried to follow the guide, but when i choose WMV in the container, it just freezes. What can be the problem?

Have you installed windows media encoder?

You could also try hdconverttox.

A little backstory. I have a rather stubborn vob. I've been trying so many ways to properly encode this into some other format that my 360 will recognize with little success. One constant factor I've had, though, is the requirement to set a 600ms delay. This was the case with every mp4 style conversion, and when doing this method for wmv, it's apparently necessary as well, as it looks fine but has that same sync issue as with every other conversion I tried. Only problem is, I'm not seeing where to do this in AutoMKV. I see references to doing an audio delay but it looks like it's there for auto-delay assumption, which does not work as nothing recognizes the existence of the delay when demuxing. Only happens during conversion. To force an audio delay, is that something I will need to edit the profile in order to achieve? If so, what do I need to add?
