DVD w/ two versions (theatrical and unrated)... problem

[extrabyte]

Software used: DVDFab 5.2.2.2 // AutoGK 2.50alpha

The DVD I want to rip and encode to an .avi file has two versions of the movie on a single disc, theatrical and unrated.
AutoGK picks up the first vob file (vts_01_1.vob) and it's pretty much automatic from then on.
I set the movie size to 2800MB with 800-pixel width. I didn't bother with the hidden options in AutoGK 'cause I'm not sure what they do.

When I play the final .avi file, after some minutes into the movie it just flashes a few frames back and plays the same scene again.
I don't know how else to describe this problem, but this is the first time having such problems using AutoGK


================================================== ==============
v2.46 of AutoGK reported a "field order transition" error or something like that and I was stuck.
Now I'm using v2.50alpha and that error msg is gone but I have that repeating scene problems described above.
================================================== ================

Any help/suggestions are much appreciated

I know what problem you are describing. You are going to have to extract which version you want to convert. There really isn't 2 physical "versions" of the movie in a multi angle dvd. The added scenes are just linked to whichever version they apply to by PGC.

I don't know what sources other than VOB autogk can read as I don't use it. But one way to keep them as vob files source, but to extract the version (PGC) you want, is to use smartripper. And you use this AFTER the DVDFab step. You can then use autogk on the VOBS smartripper created.

Thank you Pinstripes23

I use AutoGK 'cause I'm new to encoding and AutoGK handles most of the settings that I don't quite understand. I'll try smartripper and post back if it works.

[Pinstripes23]

No problem. If you have trouble using smartripper let me know. I know it's an old ripper but it can read VOB files from a folder, and output as VOBs.

[extrabyte]

smartripper did the magic.
Ripped vob's with DVDFab and smartripper let me choose version I want to encode. I didn't know how to set all those options in Settings tab so I left them at default. Fast, also, since it reads vob files from folder not disc.
Thanks agains for the great tip~!
