Ripping Anime.

[iwod]

I have read that RV9 is the best for Anime. I have a lot of DVDs anime and i wanted to bring them with me to oversea. While bring all of them is currently impossible since the amount of disk i carry is too much. So I am thinking of ripping them to RV9 and burn them to DVD R.

However after a bit of more carefully readings ripping does not seems like a easy process at all. I have ripped a film twice with Divx 4. I simply extract the audio from DVD, encoding it as ogg, extract the video and encode it to Divx with the audio...

However, with anime there seems to be topic suggest that i have to idvt... ( what the hell is that? after reading the glossy i still don't understand.... ) and interleacing... ( not in Glossery as well )

Both of them i didn't bothered with my previous encoding. What do they do and are they really nesscerly??

And are there any good Anime encoding guide to Rv9 you recommand??

And does it matter if the sources is PAL and NTSC?? can't i just leave it alone??

God.... all this is very complicated and i am having a headache after reading things 4 hours continously....

If you encoded the clips in Divx (3,4, or 5) then you can encode it in RV9. Luke's vidoe guide is the best source I can think of, it is a bit out of date, but it concentrates on encoding anime in RV. However it covers a ton of other topics including (de)interlacing and IVTC. Here's a link. http://www.lukesvideo.com/

thx for the links.... lucky enough find resouces on google is pretty much better than reading threads in here.... which i find quite a few documents about it. such as DVD2RV9.

However another problem... or i am just wondering... Why don't people just use XMpeg or FlaskMpeg wo extract audio and encode video?? So far every guide i have read they uses so many different program for different things, such as using this to extract audio. using that to... etc...

i mean what are the difference?? Are there any quality difference or what??

Why not just use one program that does the job??

yeah, RV9 doesn't get much support around here. Mostly because previous real codecs weren't better than divx, and the format is proprietary. With the improved quality of RV9 and the open source helix project it should spark more interest.

As far as using sperate tools, it's partly because of quality but also speed. Most of the all-in-one tools suffer in one or both of these catagories.
