Selecting Start to start ripping the VOB files of the DVD to your hard drive. The VOB files will now be smaller on your HD than they are on the DVD.Ħ. Also, if you enable Stream Processing and unselect the langauages and subtitles you DONT want, then the final conversion can be sped up considerably. Click on Stream Processing tab and check which audio stream is English or the language you wish to rip. For File Splitting, set Every VOB File and for Options select Unlock Drive, DeMacrovision, Copy IFO File and Create Directories.ĥ. Select Settings and for Key Check set Every VOB File.
If it has problems, actually play the movie with WinDVD or other DVD player first, then run SmartRipper.Ĥ. Run SmartRipper, it should detect your DVD and unlock all files. I prefer to use SmartRipper than DVD2SVCD own internal programs as I can strip out unwanted Audio and Subtitles. Put the DVD movie into your DVD Rom player. Sounds good, then lets get stuck into it!ġ.
So you have downloaded the software and checked that you have the right stuff in your computer. * Re-boot the computer BEFORE you start the conversion. * Turn the screens colour depth to 16bit colour or better. * Do not run any other program in the background while DVD2SVCD is running, especially if you have a slower computer. * Turn OFF your Screen Saver, it will simply slow the conversion down by hours. * A sound card and SVCD player to check the finished product.
* A CDR(W) Burner to produce the SVCD and a box of good quality CDR's * Hard drive with at least 10 gb FREE space in one partition. * At least 128meg memory, 256meg prefered. * A Pentium III 600mhz or equivalent as a minimum.
* Windows 98, 98SE, ME, 2000 or XP installed. SmartRipper 2.41 or later, if needed (d/l from _ ) I know it works for PAL, there may be some tweaking needed for NTSC.ġ. I have tested this method with PAL Region 4 DVD's and only a few NTSC Region 1 DVD's. This guide is based on using Nero to burn the final SVCD, although if you choose to incorporate Chapters, you need to use CDRWIN to burn the BIN files to CDR. So far I have not experienced anything than perfect lip-sync as well. Then further programs to mux Video and audio together and cut them ready for burning. DVD2SVCD is used basically as a fancy but simple GUI of many command line freeware programs to produce the Audio WAV file and then CCE ( a commercial product) to actually do the final encoding. The latest version of DVD2SVCD can now produce VCD's, however, I would not recommend it, stay with DVD2AVI/TMPGEnc method for VCD's and this method for SVCD's.Īlthough this guide uses SmartRipper to rip (remove the movies encryption and transfer to your Hard Drive) the movie off the DVD, the built in vStrip ripper can also be used. It uses DVD2SVCD with the aid of Cinema Craft Encoder. The guide is substantially quicker than using DVD2AVI/TMPGEnc and the final results have an improved overall quality, for both Video and Audio. This would have to be the best method to produce top quality SVCD's from your DVD's. 3) Cinema Craft Encoder or Canopus ProCoder
