New cool tool DVD2DVDR step by step instruction anyone ??

[sunny_2]

I heard sooo much about this cool tool and its potential;

Can someone who has used it succusfully to copy take a few minutes and write down step by step instruction?

Because the install is in german, can you all also start the instruction from downloading, software requirements, settings (screen shots, very easy just use CTRL+ALT+PrintSCreen on the window and paste it ).

We all here will be greatly indebted to the guy who does it .

Thanks

There will be a site soon with the screenshots you require at the moment it is in dutch if you checkout the link below you will find the url when it has been translated plus a bit more help on this program because i don't rip subtitles.

i have provided the steps i use to use dvd2dvdr. with what i have written you can easily compare them to what you see on screen.

When installing DvD2DvDr click on the big square button with computer on it and it will start to install.

It installs all other components needed except the ones below.

software i use alongside dvd2dvdr are as follows.

Dvd Decryptor - to rip to h/d has an iso and all region encoding removed.
Daemon Tools - to mount iso file to a virtual dvd rom.
CCE 2.5 - re-encodes movie if too big to fit onto 1 dvd-r
Ifoedit 0.95 - for authoring Pal only due to a bug it doesn't do NTSC properly.
Spruceup - for authoring NTSC
Nero - to burn dvd-r

before using DvD2DvDr it is best to have CCE 2.5 and ifoedit installed beforehand.

you don't need to use DvD Decryptor or Daemon tools but i do it this way because it is faster than letting DvD2DvDr rip it from your DvD Rom .

dvd2dvdr is correct most of time when it configures the encoder settings so i leave these has they are unless doing NTSC (where you have to select Force Film option).

it also detects that after subtitles and audiotracks have been removed if movie requires re-encoding.

if re-encoding is needed, in the encoder section i set the reserve space to 10mb. I use VBR 1 pass.

in the settings section i turn down the css detection to has far has it will go because i strip out all the macrovision and region coding when i rip to an iso file with DvD Decryptor. also i put a tick in encode always.
then click on go to start the process

1) At the end of process if re-encoding was needed i end up with two .m2v files and one .ac3 file.

4) open up ifoedit 0.95 and select dvd author. In the video section add the file Video_0xE0_NEW.m2v (if had to re-encode) or Video_0xE0.m2v (if no encoding was needed). In the audio section select the .ac3 file. In the scene changes/chapters section i put in the celltimes file. Last section is the path to where you want for it to create the vobs and click ok. (For the path create the folder in windows first and then point to it).

5)Once Ifoedit has finished multiplexing exit it and re-open and go to path where newly created vobs are ifoedit created And open up the vts_xx_xx.ifo file and perform get vts sectors click ok on all messages, When finished quit ifoedit and re-open same .ifo file and click on dvdplay to make sure movie is ok.

6) if movie is ok i then burn to dvd-r with nero using dvd video option.

7) to author NTSC after running thru dvd2dvdr i use Spruceup and manually set the chapter points but you can also use maestro and chapter xtractor to do this.

8) after compiling in Spruceup burn with nero using dvd video option.

You will find further help at the link below on using SpruceUp or Maestro.
