DVD ripping tips/tutorials......
 

Ok, I have several DVD porn movies that we need to rip to avi, so we can encode them to stream online. I think so at least.........

What is the fastest, most efficient way to do this? My guys are able to do it, but it seems like a long and tedious process. Has to be a better way, or some software to speed things up.

http://www.aebn.net - Contact someone over there :thumbsup

We just ripped 5 DVD's the other day. If you can find a faster way than you mentioned above please let me know as well! LOL!

Ran across the site http://www.dvdrhelp.com/ but seems a bit overwhelming. Keep in mind, I do not even know html!

He speaks the truth, have you tried using a Sic Cash FPA lately?

it's not as hard as it looks, but there are several nice guides there..just pick the one that suits your needs .. that's where I learned how to rip DVDs

I do not touch the sites, I own the company. Simply trying to do some research.

We have people who know html very well, if you had a problem with a FPA, please let me know.

Its GFY Brad, take that comment with a large pinch of salt dude :Graucho

Hey Brad.. Have your guys email me... [email protected] I can rip dvds in 7 minutes each.

How long is it taking you to go from DVD to AVI now?

With a good DVD drive and a decent processor should take about 3 HRs plus to get it into AVI.

They are telling me 4-5 hours for a 2 hour dvd.

semd it to DreamTank fed ex

if you do not want that burden Brad the DT team do very very good work

They do

Holio
Hustler
VCA
Ed Powers
Club Magazine
and some others that wish to remain anonymous

BTW this is true

guides on left side, only link you need.

1. Get a capture card.
2. Hook the DVD player up to the capture card.
3. Use the software that came with the capture card to capture the DVD to avi.
4. Convert the AVI into the formats you need wmv, rm, mov whatever.

Have one of your guys hit me up if they need any more help. ICQ in profile.

That doesn't sound to far off.

upgrading your DVD rom will help with ripping and obviously a faster CPU.

dude that's crazy...lol why would you ever do that.. that's what DVDDecrypter is for... or the manny other programs

He knows what he is talking about listen to him :Graucho

www.doom9.org is a good resource in addition to the ones already listed.

As for speed, we go through thousands and thousands of DVD rips. It can depend greatly on what codec you are using and the settings. With some settings on older computers you can be under 10 frames a second. Some machines here will run over 70fps. Running two passes that is a little faster than real time.

We generally extract the VOBs with DVD Decryptor, then make a .d2v project file with dvd2avi. The process after that can vary quite a bit. The no frills process after that is the standard Gordian Knot fare.

For intermediate encodes we still use gordian knot to make the AVISynth script and the open that in virtual dub to add filters.

These steps are only going to work if you are making an avi file.

This isn't the bible, just the way we usually do it around here (with a few extra tricks up our sleeves ;) ).

how do you do it that fast?

Google for DVD Decrypter or SmartRipper

Build a box for DVD ripping that has a crazy bus speed (you can hook up an overclocked box 3.0+ghz @ 1000mhz FSB now) run the fastest drives and controllers (DVD & HD's) you can get your hands on.

Your icq is not in your profile.
Id like to shoot the shit with ya sometime.

66883099.

Let me add you.

you should at least know something lol

Dave is that to an image/iso of the disc or to an AVI?

I know how to make $.

DVD rip to MPEG or WMV in 7 minutes - gotta be BS.

but i'm not an expert yet so if any of you guys who rip alot of DVDs know if that is possible please post some info here.

Mutt he is telling the truth .....you have a witness

Its very easy to do.
get a copy of dvd decryptor. (freeware)

Rip the movie to your hard drive.

get a copy of Flask(freeware)

convert the ripped files to avi using Flask. (takes about an hour with a decent PC. Flask will cut the movie into small clips if you wish. Make sure you have a copy of divx 5 for a good quality avi and use it in Flask.

Convert the avi's to mpeg/wmv/whatever with possibly OSS Media converter Pro.

Job done.
