DVD to AVI?

[iago]

It's still legal in Canada!

... for the time being. :(

The DMCA changes allow decrypting DVDs for the purpose of using short clips for various reasons.

So think of it as reencoding the entire movie for easy access to short clips later.

Is DVD Decrypter free? I found the "original unofficial" mirror, but I'm a bit wary of random websites.

Yes it's free.

MeGUI ripped some parts with audio but the main DVD files were ripped without an audio stream. There weren't any separate files for audio. I'm confused. The quality is beautiful though.

Edit: Re-ripping with LAME MP3 audio instead of AC3, hopefully that fixes it. I wonder if it was  VLC issue.

Edit2: So, audio works for the first 5-10 seconds (which is also the DVD load screen) but not for any of the movie.

rabbit/blaze: can one of you two post your audio prefs? I'm using the One Click Encoder and I have video fine.

[rabbit]

The video and audio won't play together until you mux (MKVMerge), which is the final step.

Anyway, I sent you a PM.

I can rip a DVD to an mkv in one step on my Mac.

At least I don't need to get my PC's motherboard replaced after 8 months.

Does it do all the IVTC/encoding/muxing?  (Seriously, I don't know.)

[Joe]

I stick in a DVD, select which part I want (basically, pick the 2 hour part out from all the 1 minute ones) and hit a button, then I come back 30 minutes later to a ~700MB (that's a setting) AVI. I think that means yes, but I don't know.

HandBrake? (before it got rid of .avi)

[Joe]

Yes, HandBrake. And I lied, it's MP4, not AVI. But the big deal is getting from DVD to something else - once you're there it's simple.

[rabbit]

Once again, HandBrake is awful.
