My goal for now is to take my entire DVD collection and rip them to my Windows Home Server. This will allow me to be a bigger couch potato so that I don't have to look through all of my dvd's to decide what to watch.
Can someone tell me if I am on the right track, and also any advice on how to be more efficient would be greatly appreciated?
I am taking the following approach:
1. Rip DVD to VOB with DVD Decrypter 3.5.4.0
(I can also rip the 5.1 audio to a AC3 track with delay given to me)
2. Using DGIndex I load the VOB and select Forced Film for the Video and Disable for Audio. This gives me a d2v file.
3. If needed use AC3 Delay to fix the AC3 delay.
4. Using Besweet with Belight GUI 0.22 beta 9 I manage to extract 6 WAV files from the AC3.
5. Create an AviSynth (avs) script with the following:
LoadPlugin("C:\dgmpgdec\DGDecode.dll")
MPEG2Source("C:\DVDRip\<filename>.d2v")
6. Load up Windows Media Encoder and follow the directions at http://on10.net/blogs/benwagg/Elephants-Dream-Sample/Default.aspx
(Use the avs file as my video source and the 6 wav files as my audio)
This approach has taken me a long while to get through but eventually I have got a working wmv file.
I am however wondering how efficient this is? Is there a faster/better way? Is there any way to automate this? Can I go from AC3 directly to the WME? I tried using the WMCmd.vbs but I was unable to get it to work by passing in both video and audio. Any ideas?
