How to create a BRRip using a 720p mkv file?

[MAMBO04]

Hey there, first post here so don't mind me trying to find an answer to this Q but can't seem to find it anywhere, so i thought i would ask here and see what people would say... any help would be appreciated, something good and easyish (i'm new at this lol) i'll catch it on easily though! Big thanks in advance

P.S: Just incase people ask, i mean using an mkv 720p blu-ray file to create a BRRip in xvid format, NOT ripping a BDisc

I suspect you actually have little idea what it is you are asking.

What you have is the so-called BDRip. The mkv file has been created by ripping the content from a BluRay source, resizing it down to 720p and re-encoding, and finally, putting it into the mkv container. That is the BDRip.

I suspect, although I could be wrong, that what you are really asking is "How do I trun a 720p MKV file into something I can watch on my Xvid capable DVD player".

If that is the case, I would use Xvid4PSP, and the AVI Hardware encoding pre-set. You will also have to resize the video down to under 720 pixels wide. Expect a substantial reduction in quality.

Yes i understand that it is a BDRip Actually you are close, i want to rip them to xvid so i can watch them on my Advent Netbook, as it does not support 720p files.

i heard about xvid4psp, but is there another method which doesn't substantially reduce quality?

thanks

Nope. if your netbook can't handle the throughput then you will have to resize down so you can use a lower bitrate, and that is going to cost you somwhere. It is not Xvid4PSP that costs you the quality, it is the process and the end result you need to reach to get it to play on such an under powered system.

What I would suggest is that you use Xvid4PSP, but you add a Trim() statment to the avisynth file it creates (you can do this from within Xvid4PSP) to limit you to a few minutes of footage. You can then try different resolutions and bitrates to get you something that will play, and has acceptable quality.

No, you DON'T understand. Ripping is the process of getting content off a CD or DVD disc. That is all it is. "Rip" is not some generic word that you throw around everytime you feel like it to refer to whatever the heck you want it to mean. I have to thank forum member lordsmurf for this comment, but why don't you go to a restaurant ask them to "rip you a sandwich" and see what reaction you get. Perhaps then you will understand that continuing to say "rip" when you are NOT ripping just makes you seem dumb.

You are through ripping. What you want to do is convert your rip to Divx. guns1inger correctly described what you want to do and gave you some advice. He is not "close", he is dead on. I'm sorry, but the reality is that when you downsize you run the risk of losing quality at every step and there's not much you can do about that. You will have to downsize yet again to watch this on your DVD player. If you are lucky perhaps it will still look good and you won't notice much quality loss, but technically the quality loss is there even if you can't see it. DVD players that support Divx have limits on what they will support. Files larger than 2 GB is size may not play, for example. So things like that limit the bit rate you can use and thus reduce the quality. The resolution of your Divx file will need be less than 720x576 for your DVD player to play it. As a very rough guide, I'd say resize it below 720x576, don't use GMC or QPel as encoding options, use a bit rate of 2000 Kbps and perhaps what you get will play OK and be good enough quality for your needs.

Ok thanks guns, i'll try that

and i think DO understand what ripping means, yes it means ripping a something i.e a film from a cd/dvd, the reason i used BRRip is because it's a small way of saying creating an xvid out of a blu-ray source, i.e a RIP

Yeah i thinks guns has described the best method, so i'll try that yeah i know the quality will be compromised, but all i wanted to find out was how other people do it has i seem some floating around and never figure out how they do it lol thanks though for your help guys, appreciated!

Well, I think I did it, but it's a very involved and time consuming process. Here it goes. first, use MKVExtractGUI, to demux the video from the audio streams. Second, use kmplayer to capture the audio, from the original .MKV file, to a 2 channel (stereo) 160kb/s .MP3 file, you have to set the capture rate, and playback the whole movie, to get your audio stream. so now you have your audio. Open the elemental video stream with the program "DGAVCIndex", add it, hit ok, then go to "file",and save project. Let it do it's thing, when it's done, it will give you a file, whatever you called it, with a ".DGA" extention. Then, do some reading from the author of "DGAVCIndex", web site, to create a basic "*.AVS" file. Open the .AVS file in "Virtualdub Mod". You have to resize, and possibly crop your video, so far all I had to do was resize, in order to use the filters, you have to set the video to "full processing". To determine what aspect ratio the video is, just divide the first # by the second#, of the original display size of the video. Example: I have an .MKV file that is 1280x544, which means it is an aspect of 2.35:1, so when I resized it I resized to to 640x272, so it works on a standard T.V. Now, under the "video" tab go down to "compression", I chose "XVID", click "configure", "profile@level" should be set at "Advanced simple@L5", under "encoding type", set it at "single pass", click "calc", and fill out the appropriate info, set target size to "1433600 kbytes", it's one of the target size options. Pay attention of the framerate the original video is, whether it's 29.976fps, or 23.976fps, or 25fps. Set the audio setting to the bitrate of the audio you made with kmplayer. click ok, and that will give you the video bitrate for that project. click ok again, "ok" again, click the "streams" tab, click "stream list", click "add", add the .mp3 file you made with kmplayer. Let the audio file parse to the video file, right click on the grey area that has the details of the audio you are using, and click "direct stream". then, click "file", "save as", enter a file name, and click "save". Let it do it's thing, it may take 4 or more hours. Once that's done, you have a resized, resampled video, Playback the new .AVI" file to see if the audio is in sync. if it is, GREAT, if it's not, you have some work to do. Anyway, if you have Nero Vision, or some variation thereof. use it to create a dvd. Add the new .AVI file, create chapters, create a menu, if you want, I never do, burn it to a dvd, I use DVD -R discs, and when it done, you should have a new regular DVD compliant movie created from a Blu-ray source. If you don't have Nero, I recommend "DVD FLICK", it's a good program, capable of accepting many different types of input files. It's legitamatlely free. I hope this helps, I told you this was involved and time consuming. sorry, my bad, I converted to dvd, so you can skip that step.

No matter how it's used or misused, 'Ripping' on our site means to transfer the decrypted contents of a disc directly to a hard drive, no other processing used. It would be an exact copy of the disc, but decryption removed. It could also be used to define transferring partial decrypted contents of a disc, but still with no other changes.

It doesn't have anything to do with conversions, encoding or anything else and only applies to disc>HDD operations. That's always been my definition. The terms of DVDrip or BDrip usually apply to torrent files which are a lot more than a rip. A BD rip would be 25 - 30GB and a DVD rip would be ~8 - 9GB, the same size as the original disc. Neither sizes are seen that commonly on torrents, though I do see DVD files occasionally in that range. The torrent files are usually re-encoded versions of the original rip. Use or misuse the term the way you want, but most of us will have no idea of what you are talking about.
