[julian2002]

Hi, everybody.

I just buy a Pionneer A03 DVD-R, and i try to rip a DVD-9 to DVD-5

Everything is ok with ifoedit, but when i'm using rempg2 to change the bitrate of my Mp2 file to make it smaller, the result is very very bad, the 10 furst minutes are well but after it jump jump and jump like if i have the image only each 2 second.

I'm french so i try to rip PAL dvd and i realy dno't understand what happened. I follow all the rip guide i found on the internet but it's not working.

Can you help me please.

Hello,

I'm french too. I will anwser your question in english for other readers.
I used Rempeg2 successfully but it's a hard process.
First you must backup your original VOB files whith Smartripper. Use the File tab and save all VTS_01_X.vob file to your disk + VTS_01_0.IFO and VIDEO_TS.IFO.
Open Rmpeg2 and build a 'voblist.cffl.txt' as explained in the help files.
Select a compression ratio : 75% is good for a 7GB movie. Select 'Gradiant' option and progressive method. It will produce a 4 GB M2V file. the process can last 18 hours.

You must keep the backuped VOB files somewhere.

Open IFOedit. Open backuped VTS_01_0.IFO.
Select 'Movie only/Remux M2V' menu. In the dialog box, select Rebuild PTS and strip streams option. Fill the destination directory with a new path to store remuxed vobs. Fill the m2v path box with the correct path to your compressed m2v file. press OK

Strip audio and subtitle you don't need.
Start the process.

It will remux your reduced video with original VOB audio stream. Synchro is kept. You will get your new VOB files and corrected IFO files in the destination directory. Close IFOedit, re-open it and open your new VIDEO_TS.ifo file. Press the 'Get VTS sector' button to correct pointers.

Files are ready to be burned.

Good luck.

Try cinema craft encoder. It runs circles around rempeg.

I have experienced the same problem with Rempeg2 and i have a solution.

The problem comes when DVD source VOBs contains several VOB IDs.
You can see it in Ifoedit. Open the VTS_01_0.ifo, look at the movie section. If it tells 'use vob-id 1,2,3 ... then Rempeg2 will generate bad pictures after the first Vob-id change.

To solve this problem, use smartripper and select 'switch file each VOB_ID'
It will generate one big VOB file for each VOB-ID.
Use Rempeg2 on each file separately.
You can test, the picture is good for each re-encoded file.
Use Rempeg2 again to remux original Vobs.

Now you have 2 or 3 big vob files remuxed.
Copy the original VTS_01_0.ifo file in the same directory and use ifoedit to generate 1MO vob files and strip strams as usual.

It should work.
