I demuxed a DVD with DGIndex but am unable to open up the project with either VirtualDub-MPEG2 or HCEncGUI as an avs. I checked the input name over and over again. When I open up the d2v file in HCEncGUI, I get "invalid d2v project, cannot get the vob/mpeg files" even though the m2v and ac3 files are in the same folder. I deleted the VOB files already. Do I have to re-rip them and demux them again or is there some other fix?
I've never had this problem before. Should I have kept the VOB files? I don't see why since demuxing them is supposed to end up with a d2v file associated with an m2v file and ac3.

D2V files are ASCII.
Open in a text editor (eg Notepad).
Here for instance is the d2v of a (very short) m2v file:
Code:DGIndexProjectFile15 1 S:\mpg\a12.m2v Stream_Type=0 MPEG_Type=2 iDCT_Algorithm=6 YUVRGB_Scale=1 Luminance_Filter=0,0 Clipping=0,0,0,0 Aspect_Ratio=16:9 Picture_Size=720x480 Field_Operation=0 Frame_Rate=29970 (30000/1001) Location=0,0,0,307 d00 1 0 0 0 0 d3 f0 e1 d00 1 0 9165 0 0 d2 d00 1 0 17340 0 0 d3 f0 e1 f2 e3 f0 e1 f2 e3 f0 e1 900 1 0 242397 0 0 72 73 d0 f1 f2 e3 f0 f1 e2 f3 f0 e1 900 1 0 416084 0 0 72 73 d0 f1 f2 e3 f0 f1 e2 f3 f0 e1 900 1 0 598736 0 0 72 73 d0 f1 f2 e3 f0 f1 e2 f3 f0 e1 900 1 0 795674 0 0 72 73 d0 f1 f2 e3 f0 f1 e2 d00 1 0 968595 0 0 d3 f0 e1 f2 e3 f0 e1 f2 e3 f0 e1 900 1 0 1168546 0 0 72 d3 f0 e1 f2 e3 f0 e1 f2 e3 f0 e1 900 1 0 1356367 0 0 72 d3 f0 e1 f2 e3 f0 e1 f2 e3 900 1 0 1489300 0 0 70 d1 f2 e3 f0 e1 e2 ff FINISHED 100.00% FILM
You can delete the path just leaving the filename if your d2v is in the same folder.
Otherwise you can just make a new d2v file, only takes a few minutes.
Using DGIndex.
File | Open -- select your M2V
Then File|Save project --> your new D2V.
-- then close DGIndex.
I've always used the D2V in an AVS script myself:
Code:video=MPEG2Source("310.d2v") # .... Avisynth commands
-
Thanks. Re-opening the m2v in DGIndex worked but strangely it linked the d2v file to the old m2v file while still creating a new m2v. When I deleted the old m2v, once again HCEnc and VirtualDub couldn't find it so I restored it from the Recycle Bin and deleted the new m2v file.
While I've got your attention, do you know how to open an AC3 in VirtualDub-MPEG2? I installed AC3ACM but I don't know how to load the audio (there are only the "no source" "source audio" - which is none in the case of an m2v - and "wav audio"). -

I do this mainly to work out sync problems. -

I tried it with and without the "video= and audio=" -

Worry about that later. Sometimes you need to tidy up AC3 files made by demuxing. Eg, with BeSliced.
Just:
MPEG2Source("filename.d2v")
Should display the video described in your d2v. -
