Preface: I apologize if this was covered somewhere else, and I didn't see it.

I am wondering if anybody has had success converting EVOs into h264 and didn't need a computer science degree to get there ;) I've figured out how to use RipBot and XVID4PSP to get BDs converted to h264, but the Feature_1 and Feature_2 element as well as the DD+ on my HD-DVDs like Transformers have left me frustrated.

I've tried to use tsMuxer to append the files and output a clean, single TS file, but I guess I don't have the proper decoder for DD+ audio. Using EVODemux, I was able to separate the main movie file(s) into a single video file and single audio file, but again the audio file was unrecognizable by VLC, WMP, etc.

I have seen/read that Graphedit -- THE proggie, I guess -- can use a couple of filters like Sonic HD Decoder, et al to create a .grf file that can then be loaded into AviSynth, but I haven't been able to make that work, and I think that even though Graphedit is supposed to be pretty intuitive and simple (I guess), it seems over my head as far as troubleshooting is concerned.

Basically, I am just looking for anybody who has run into similar problems but found success. Am I missing a crucial element or app that will make this process work...or? Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I should say that using EVODemux, I outputted the default .mpv file for the video and .mpa file for the audio.

if selected .evo belongs to untouched HD-DVD structure then you will see this

I think it may have worked...it was still muxing this morning; so, I've got my fingers crossed :)

How long has it been muxing for? It shouldn't take more than an 2 hours, at max, and that is on really old hardware.
