AutoGK and TV Show DVDs

[spotter]

I just tried to encode a tv show DVD w/ AutoGK and it didn't play nice. Basically, it treated all the episodes as one long stream (so instead of 7 25 minute episodes, I ended up with one 2+ hour stream). I ended up getting it to work by extracting each episode with vStrip into its own VOB, which prevented me from easily ripping the subs.

Has anyone else had this problem? It would seem that AutoGK "should" handle it, as it asked me which of the 7 I wanted to encode, but then it didn't seem to respect that. Is it possibly due to DGIndex just seeing the VOBs and the the IFO?

Note that AutoGK cannot work properly on a vobset that still has multiple angles/program chains, so make sure to use appropriate tools to prepare the vobset. Another thing to remember is that AutoGK only works on unencrypted VOB files.


Tools suggestions:

Pgc.net
DvdShrink(reauthor mode)

Rip the DVD with DVD Decrypter in IFO mode - you'll have to rip each episode individually into its own folder, and the subs will be more trouble, but it works.

it gives me audio and video sync problemms when using it, even on non ARcoos dvds. better to rip the dvd in file mode and then use pgc.net to copy the diiferent episodes.

I had no problems with Lost Season 1 and I did it the same way CWRO3 suggested...just rip each episode into their own folder with DVD Decrypter in IFO mode.

be sure to turn of the timecode patch in DVDDECRYPTER.

I Never experienced audio/video sync-problems with AUTOGK - and ripped quite a few episodes till now.
