DVD to WMV ?

[agressiv]

I'm trying to figure out a way to encode a ripped DVD into WMV while keeping a fairly high bitrate (2Mbps) and 5.1 channel sound, which Windows Media 9 supports (right?)

The Windows Media Encoder 9 won't take VOBs as a source, so I'm trying to figure out if there is another way to approach this, since it doesn't seem it will join an audio and a video file (unless I am mistaken).

Anyone ever have any luck with this? I've seen a few shareware programs (such as AVS Video Converter) but it doesn't allow anything higher than a 768k bitrate for WMV and it won't do multichannel WMV audio either.

Use DGMPGDec and create the d2v file, then use vfapi to create the avi signpost and frameserve.

Thanks, this worked.

Too bad the Windows Media Encoder is so slow compared to nero digital (6+ hours to encode a movie, Nero was maybe 20% slower than real-time.)
