and what does MeGui want with d2v?

[bananacreamandpeca]

HI,

I read the first bit of the faq explaining what d2v and dgwhatever does.
And I still dont freakin know what its used for.
I;m trying to encode a musicvideo.vob with MeGui.
Megui does things I do not know what he is doing.
asking for a dvd-decrypter file I do not have handy (cant rerip,
only 1 muswic video 1 vob)
then it starts to whatever and it takes forever.

what is this.

(maybe video is not for me, just too "onoverzichtelijke zooi" NL.)

You better read some more guides. However the dvd decrypter's stream info file is used to identify the audiotrack language. You can ignore that message and select the audiotrack by its number.
For what concerns the encoding time it all depends on the codec and settings.

[check]

this is the 'timeline':
encrypted DVD -> unencrypted VOBs -> DGIndex index file (d2v) -> Avisynth file (avs) -> encoder -> finished product.

The d2v is effectively an index file for the VOB, DGIndex creates an index of all the frame locations and writes it out to a text file (this is your d2v file). Then you can open the d2v file in avisynth and the video decoder knows what location to get each frame from.
