Was Rose Red ripping problem ever resolved?

[Lame]

After trying to rip Rose Red unsuccessfully several times, I looked at all the old posts I could find. Did anyone ever find a way to back up the movie only onto a DVD?

[SciFer]

I don't think so. Derrow was on vacation at that time and porbably never saw the thread. Try re-posting the original thread-link, maybe he'll have time now.

Isn't that about not starting at the beginning of the movie after stripping, skipping all around the vobs, not sequential ?

If so, same problems with other movies (end of days, fast&furious), see:

I had to rip disc 1 as streams (choose your poison - smartripper or dvddecryptor) to get the video and audio in the correct structure. That means you have an m2v and an ac3 file, then you have to shrink and re-author to burn it.

Have u actually done successfully? If so please explain steps in detail. I did "shrink it" after separating/splitting vobs from start to end, so if u watched it with PowerDVD it would play correctly. Problem is, when I IfoEdit them to combine the files and create new ifos, it chops (re-combines) them by the vob id, resulting in even a different start point.

I'm currently running a 3-pass CCE encoding session, so I don't have the end result yet.

However, I used Smartripper (since I already had the files on my hard drive) and stripped the movie and audio streams. This ensure the movie came out in the correct playing order. I then created an AVS script to use in CCE to process the mixed mode (NTSC/FILM) that DVD2AVI was indicating. I created a d2v file from DVD2AVI with default settings (NOT FORCED FILM).

My AVS script looked like this:

LoadPlugin("c:\program files\avisynth2\mpeg2dec.dll")
LoadPlugin("c:\program files\avisynth2\decomb.dll")
Mpeg2source("f:\rosered1\rosered1.d2v")
Telecide()
Decimate(mode=1,threshold=50)
resampleaudio(44100)

This is what is running now.

I did check the rosered.m2v to make sure it was playing the movie in the correct order and it was. That's the only reason I continued to encode it.

I'll know more by tonight.

Video is OK, but the audio stream was taken out sequentially from the VOBs so it matched the sequential video from the VOBs but not the properly sequenced video stream. Back to the drawing board.

I guess I had too many ripped audio files laying around and grabbed the wrong one. I did encode Rose Red disc 1 to fit on one DVD with the smartripper demuxed video and audio streams. Unfortunately, DVD Maestro didn't like the extracted chapters from the VOBs so I had to completely re-author and insert my own chapters. DVD came out looking good but no menus nor could I get it to remux with original ifo files.

I used DVD2AVI, opened the m2v stream from Smartripper, leave "field operation" with "none" selected and created my d2v file for the AVS script mentioned earlier in this thread.

For those of you wanting to encode using CCE, I'm using version 2.66.01.02 and followed the "getting the most out of CCE" guide for pass number one. Under the video tab, I select "add sequence end code", "dvd video compliant", and "upper field first". Leave luminance default and packet size default. I do get the full quality options under the quality tab, but de-select all filters, reduce the Quantizer Characteristics to "5", and leave "alternate" selected. When the first pass is complete, I edited the AVS file and selected multipass ES and ran three passes (run 1 if you are in a hurry). All my settings stay the same under video and quality. I preset the max bitrate to 8100, min bitrate to 0, and average bitrate to 2000. Then I click on bit allocation. In that window, I click the Q scale radio button, change bias to zero, and adjust average to the rate that gives me the max size for the video file with a 481M audio track. For me that turned out to be 3100 kbits/sec. Hope this helps someone.

hmm, i ripped rose red with nop at all

what i didnt made, i didnt took the ac3 on it,
i decoded to wave and encoded to mp2, so i had enough
space to fit both dvd´s on 1 dvdr with the swedish subs even.
