Hi md_mushroom

You did not really say if you are doing a DVD 9 to DVD5+/- R or what, but if you back up a lot of DVD 9 to DVD 5 this how I do it. Minority Report BU great with this method, as well as all others I have done.

I just backed up Minority report to a single DVD-R with the following sequence:

1. rip with CloneAD XP
2. run through DVD2AVI
3. Run through TMPGenc
4. Run through SpruceUP
5. Burn with Gear Pro DVD.

I end up with a nice 4.5 Gig DVD

Hi, have a problem backing up my dvd of minority report

I used DVD2DVD-R (along with CCE & Maestro) to back up my copy of Minority Report in NTSC format. The DVD2DVD-R portion (including CCE) took 4 hours on my AMD 2.2GHz CPU. The CCE part took 3 hours. I am doing 1 pass VBR. Quality is EXCELLENT.

hi m8, i also use dvd2svcd all the time... over 30 rips question is ..did u use dvd2svcd 2 rip the film onto your h/drive ? myself i use dvd decrypter first so i can get a chapter file , but more important.. i can then check the vobs 2 c if all is ok.
sounds like u have not selected an audio stream 2 me

It's ok fellas, sussed it out, i used smartripper to rip to h/drive, somehow it didn't rip audio, just left pc on overnight and it took 8 hours all together to rip. Using AMD Athlon xp1800, 512 pc133mem and win ME, thanx for all your help, will b more careful in future, many thanx

I just read this thread, HUH?

OK, I did Minority report and there were MANY ways to attack this puppy. For all those using DVD2SVCD in DVD mode, WHY? If thats the way you like to do things, then fine. Stop reading here.....

Option 1.

Use DVD2SVCD. ReEncode.

Option 2.

Stream rip this pig, use IFOedit. Keep the Original Video (100%) perfect. Use the Dolby AC3 Surround track. (Kill the 5.1)(Too Big) Create new IFO's. Transcode a VOB. Done.

Option 3.

The way I did it, I followed Option2, but I wanted the original menu, so that I have a the original Chapter Menu. SO, hack off the stupid credits, about 2 min into the last chapt. The Credits are NOT on a Chapter entry point...So use vStrip to perform a cut. This leaves the final chapter link correct in the main menu.
Use IFOupdate to correct the .ifo tables.
Fix the menu IFO to Jump in the ROOT MENU (Use IFOedit.. First play PGC)
Then I transcoded the last VOB down using ReMPEG to make it fit, its now 4,705,000,000. Fits by 2 Mb, due to Lead-in, Lead-Out of burner.

So now, I have a copy that doesnt show any WARNINGS, starts at the main menu and all the Original menu Chapter screens work perfect.

This isnt exactly a Step-by-Step, but for the willing, its a step in a new direction.

I use this guide, never had a problem, until I did minority report. it gives me an m2v of 2h26m and an ac3 of 2h19m. where am i going wrong please???

Those figures equate to the video at 23.97fps and the audio at equiv of 25 (hench the difference).

check your settings. never used that program before so can't really advise you on that though, but have done it myself once. Had sound at Pal 25fps and video at NTSC 29.97 cause I accidentally hit the wrong option!
