Bad rip or or bad encode?

[nunya]

Ripped a flick to my HDD, now if I use WMP to play the VOB files directly it plays great, but after encoding with AGK, not so. About 25-30 seconds into the .avi the video stutters for a sec and audio goes out of sync, then that first 30 seconds is repeated with out-of-sync audio, almost as if the beginning is in there twice.

Having too many issues with GK (standard) to mess with it. Any ideas what might be wrong or another method of encoding it? I tried using ImTOOdvd or something like that, but just crashed.

AGK will not encode to DIVX on this flick either.

One last thing I'll mention, I had a hell of a time ripping thing a while back but finally got it.

thanks.

What method did you use to rip your movie?

Bad rip or or bad encode?
A repeated playback of the same part usually indicates a mistake in the ripping process. Some movies with multi-angles, particularly those with title credits in several languages, need to be cleaned up first. The easiest way is to rip directly with DVD Decrypter set in .IFO mode. If this fails, my next preference is to rip the disk with RipIt4Me in .ISO mode, then mount the image and rip that with DVD Decrypter in .IFO mode.
AGK will not encode to DIVX on this flick either.
It should - do you have the proper version of Divx installed?

As a matter of fact I did use DVDDecryptor and when i mentioned I had issues with the original rip is when i found ripit4me and used that in conjunction with Decrypt...but all i did was rip the the main movie VOBs.

I can't recall what problem I was having with the ripping process to begin with before I got it work.

the only files i have from the rip are the TS IFO/BUP, 1_0 ifo/bup and 1_1 to 6 VOBs.

DIVX 6 is loaded. When i use that instead of XVID, thinking there was a codec issue, AGK does start and get thru part of it before it fails, this is the log file and prntscrn of what I get:

thanks for the help!

I prefer Xvid, but in this case I would go with DIVX just to get thru this. Just don't know what happened....maybe a funky rip for some reason. So basically, I get an error with DIVX and cant do anything and with Xvid, the first 20 secs is repeated and everything is out of sync.

Would converting it to an MPG2 then to xvid make a difference?

Again, the easiest way to correct the problem is to re-rip the disk with DVD Decrypter in .IFO mode. Again, if DVD Decrypter fails to rip the disk, use RipIt4Me in .ISO mode, then mount the image which you can then rip with DVD Decrypter in .IFO mode. RipIt4Me will not give you files that are usable with AutoGK if there are angles present and causing problems as you describe. .VOB files are already MPEG-2, so converting them to MPEG-2 will either do nothing or will cause a loss in quality.
