Hi people. I need help.
I did my first rip some weeks ago following step by step the Nandub SBC encoding guide from doom9.com
The movie I ripped was Tomb Raider. I did all the steps...
----Starting Nandub a message appeared. It said I didīnt have correctly installed DIV-X codecs and I said... continue. Maybe the problem was that I needed divx 3.11 alpha to see a film which I couldnīt see well at all with the divx 3.20 codecs. So I installed 3.11 alpha over it.-----
dvd2avi>vfapi>and then in nandub. I did everything right and I got a file a bit bigger than I thought, but the problem was that I forgot to change the bitrate and left it on 910 when should be about 800.
The file was 680 mb with two passes and without audio. The second time I still didnīt get the size I needed so the third time I started the process again and did the two pass rip one followed by the other automatickly, not as the second time, where I did the first and then, using the stats the second one.
I got the filesize I needed and so I have TR.

After that rip I decided to rip Armageddon. 2 hours and 30 mins so I decided to rip it into 2 cds. Once again the divx problem message appeared and I told it not to appear any more marking the same option I marked the previous times.
And then problems started, once again followed the steps exactly as shown on the guide but this time changing values to a 2 cd rip.
When everything was ready, even that crosspoint setting set to ~460~, I pressed shift f8 to make two passes through the night on my p3 800@850 and I went to bed.
14 hours later the rip was about to finish but I could see that the filesize was about 2 gigs.
Once it finally ended, I cheked the filesize and I found that it was 2.1 GB :eek: !!!!!! and without sound, it was very extrange. I repeated the whole process following exactly the instructions given on the guide.
Once again I got a file over 2 gb for a film of 2 hours and half at bitrate of about 1000. I got f***** :scared: . That was too much. The bitrate calculator gave me a result of about 1100 bitrate for two cds of 680 mb with 128 bit sound.

I deleted armageddon and got Little nicky and the problem persists. I followed the steps and cheked if they where correct. Ripped it 3 times once with very different settings which I got from a spanish guy. He changed many things (nearly all, he changed them but then they were different from doom9s guide) and got almost the same filesize. 1.3 gb for a 1.5 hours movie without sound :confused: .

What is wrong with my configuration? Can anyone help me please? :( Itīs very frustrating. Even for a "newbie" the guide is not difficult if you read all of it and if you understand it without problems, even being spanish :rolleyes:

Could it be coz of the message of the beginning? How can I fully delete divx3.20 codec then?
