I'm trying to backup my DVD movie and I used the instructions found at

http://www.vcdhelp.com/DVD2DVD-R%20bigger%20than%204500%20megs/

I ripped, calced, converted ac3 to wav, and rempeged and for some reason when I go into my DVDit PE the video goes faster than my audio. It's totally out of sync. Do any of you experts know why? I'm kinda new to this and I'm confused. Please advise me if you can. Thanks gurus!

If you are new to this I suggest you use DVDx to backup your DVD's. It's a great tool for newbies and novices like myself. Theres even a box you can check for audio/video synchronization. (Why anybody wouldn't want that is a mystery to me)

The thing about this program is that it does it all in one operation - audio/video, choose subtitles, it can even split your file for ya, in nice cd fitting chunks. It tells you how large your file is gonna be. (Remember there's room for 800MB on a 700MB cd if you burn it as a VCD)

There's probably a guide on these pages. I myself use a guide on a norwegian page I found.

Bottom Line: I love it. DVDx rules. I cannot stress that enough. Kudos to the programmers of this neato program. And kudos to DVD-Jon who gave us DeCss.

The preview function in DVD it! isn't all that great. The best thing to do is go ahead and create a title set, then open the IFO with your software DVD player.

The chapter points usually aren't correct in preview mode either.

Make sure the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders are on the top level of your directory.

I have tried dvdx and it produces ok vcd's. not as good as tmgenc but ok, the biggest problem I have found is the vcd's I have created with iit did not play on some stand alove dvd's that had no problem with vcd's created with tmgenc, for that reason I don't use it anymore, I recomend kalel's dvdripguides found in the link page on this site, I have used his guide for over a year creating over 300 vcd's and have not found any other method that consistantly creates great vcd's, his guide is well written and should not be a problem for anybody to follow.

I had this same problem with Phantom Menace when I tried to rip the ac3 and m2v seperately. The video on DVDs sometimes needs the audio files to sync up with. Unfortunately, I don't know how to ensure this without re-encoding the video file (and it doesn't sound like you want to do that.) with a .d2v file from dvd2avi (it tells the video how fast to play, because it is synced up with the audio as it is made).

mijman. I'll give it a try. How do I re-encode the video to create a .d2v file? What software is required, etc...? Thanks in advance!
