Multiple Movies on one DVD how to get them all.

[mace]

I have a DVD that had multiple short movies on it. Total movie time is 90min. When I go to conversion on DVD2SVCD it only shows the first movie 30min. How can I get all 3 movies? Any help would be great.

Thanks

Are there 3 different movies (time) in the drop down box? The box where the movie lenght is displayed. If there are, do each encode by itself.

There are serials, you know, that consist of, say 3 or 4 episodes. Such as "sex and the city", "sopranos" "blackadder" " jeeves & wooster" "monty python" etc. I click on the Disk icon and yes, it gives me the .ifo file (which is actually the ONE and only .ifo file on the dvd !) with a corresponding length of movie, say 30' minutes, out of 3 or 4 episodes x 30' each. and then of course the whole process results -smoothly- in a svcd.mpg file to watch that is ... just ONE episode, the longest usually, from the content of the original dvd. (or 50' minutes out of 150' minutes; when i would dearly love to have the whole sequence of 3 or 4 episodes ...)

not always, mind you: it happened with most of the "monty python" dvds that the click on CD icon brings -again the ONLY.ifo file- but with the FULL length of the original dvd that is some 90' or 120' minutes.

thanks for your patience and advise.

Now as for your problem. If you load the IFO then on the conversion tab click on the movie length. You should see many times listed. Select each one at a time and rip them to the HD in different directories. Then use the method described in the Q+A for combining multiple sided discs to convert all the episodes as one encode.

I have tried this. But the total length is just the sum of the duration of chapters within this ONE episode. The other episodes (or short films) do not count, they are not shown at all - as if they do not exist on the dvd. And the file.ifo on the dvd is only ONE; so I see no way around this ... In the q&a and the forum I find info of combining 2 sides / or 2 dvd int one = which is exactly the opposite of my problem.

if this happens, sometimes you might try ripping with smartripper or vstrip.

I agree as a last resort try SmartRipper.

The reason I suggested the combining is that I thought that you said after you ripped it you wanted to keep them as a set. If so this is the best way to get multiple rips as one encode. If not, (in best Gilda Radner voice) Nevermind.
