DVD Ripping software
« on: July 27, 2006, 01:22:24 pm »
I need some software to rip DVDs. On Windows. My dad is whining that I got it to rip in *nix before I did Windows when I was supposed to solve this problem a long time ago.

Anyway, it needs to be a full tool suite (kinda like Nero, but he doesn't like Nero) that can rip whole DVDs into .avi files.

Suggestions needed. I'm down to the wire on this. :|

And if it costs $$$, the merrier. He seems to think that if there's $$ involved, it'll be a better product versus something that is free. Apparently all corporate scum think this way, which is why Linux is apparently "dying" in the server field. :/

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

Check out www.doom9.net -- I haven't been there lately, but that used to be a good source. 

And it's probably free -- all the most useful software is free :)

It is a good source for individual tools, but what I'm looking for is essentially what mencoder can do: take the DVD and encode the whole slice (dvd://1) into an .avi file. In one command. Or in the case of a Windows product, a few clicks.

Well you can do it with 2 tools, DVD Decrypter and MEGUI both found on the doom9 site.

WiReS said IMtoo works, but I wouldn't know about that.  Haven't wanted to rip to AVI.

Looks like mplayer is available for Windows. I'm gonna give that a shot, then go with what Zorm said.

DVD santa is a pretty good ripping software that my brother gave me. He gave me the setup and I have yet to find a CD key gen though but Iam sure with your ubber 1337 hax newby you could probally find one easy. If you would like the setup hit me on Gaim one of these days and I will send the file. Iam not sure it rips .avi form but you can feel free to try.  :P

So what did you end up doing? I forgot to mention that MeGUI actually has an auto encode mode but I've never tried it so I'm not sure if it will actually do the ripping from the DVD for you or not. Currently I'm ripping things and encoding them in h264 with AAC sound and the MP4 container. I have been leaving everything at the resolution it is on the DVD (720x480 for most 4:3 stuff) and doing a bitrate near 1000 and I end up with a movie someplace in the range of 1GB to 1.5GB depending on how long the movie is. I'd have to say it works for me and hopefully(but I really doubt it) the h264+MP4 stuff can just be slapped on a HDDVD or Bluray disk and played in their respective players. Its a long shot but I figured what the hell.

I gave up. mencoder ripped them fine with DivX 5/6 or whatever vcodec=mpeg4 specifies, and the audio was mp3lame @ 128kbps (audio quality does not matter apparently to him :/), but when watched in WMP or Media Center, it whined like a whore about lack of codecs.

Makes no sense to me, but eh?

Did you install DivX player? You're going to need codecs for just about any rip unless you keep it as mpeg2 but then you don't get compression so thats rather crappy too.

Yes MeGUI and DVD Decrypter you can get both from http://www.doom9.org. You can read the forums and there is a lot of information on both. One thing about MeGUI because I didn't pay attention to all the install information, it will tell you something about 'Updates being avaibable' click ok or whatever so that you can download the 'updates' this will actually be all the programs it needs to do its job correctly.

What I don't understand is, if I, for instance, downloaded Star Trek: Voyager's DVDs, they come through crystal clear 720x405 Divx AVIs, and yet if I use the tools from Doom9 (which were still confusing as hell), the Divx output is very blocky.  I targetted the one-hour (or, 40 minute) Firefly episode off of my DVDs for 375MB (which is your standard download size for a one-hour TV show) and it just came out crappy.

Thoughts?

I like to do Xilisoft DVD Ripper 4 with a little DVDShrink action on the side. Mix where necessary.

Possible that you are using different playback methods? Some codecs/players can do deblocking in the postprocessing stage when its actually playing the video back. Its also possible that there is a deblocker setting for the actual encoder too, might want to check on this.
