As I'm in a good mood today, here's a goodnight story for you kids out there. A long time ago in this very galaxy, a group of DVD backup pioneers had a vision. Sadly,however, before they could get to a browser to tell anyone about it, a terribly stupid catastrophe occurred, and the idea was lost forever. This is not their story. It's a story about a few DVD backup enthusiasts who managed to write a working MS MPEG4 + MP3 backup method without sync problems... They managed to do it without the help of the MPAA or RIAA, without Pamela Andersons philosophical approach, er, you get the point.
BTW, some dude, with the nick "Gej" mentioned a new Divx codec, does someone knows something about it, it seems that it is based on some sort of beta MS codec. :D
Enjoy.

I Used MS MPEG-4 v3 Codec:
Key Frame Every 1 Second
Crispness = 100%
Data Rate = 950kps
(If I Could Only Change the fps in the 514,312K File to 23.978 and See If It Works as Well...)
1 CD Can't Contain The 642,183K Video + 84,563K Audio.
It Can Contain The 514,312K Video + 84,563K Audio and If It Works I Can Even Have Space for Higher Then 950 kps MPEG-4)

You like to kick your ass !!
Simpler way to do the same !
1- For the Compression of the video It's Ok ! but prefer DIVX MPEG4 codec It's the same as MS one but Work OK on All config ! (http://dvdsoft.virtualave.net/DIVXcodec.zip)
2- For the Sound I recommend a Graphedit Way to extract the WAV using The MakeWAV package (http://members.xoom.com/mpeg2avi/makewave.zip) U need the LSX spliter and WinDVD Audio Filter (Dolby Licenced... The best for audio in my mind). Watch the docs inside the package !
3- For packing MP3 I recommand The Radium Fraunaufer MP3 codec. (Sorry no link yet...)
4- For Put Video and Audio together and Pack it the MP3 in one shot I use Virutal Dub (http://www.concentric.net/%7Epsilon/virtualdub_dl.html)
5- For tweak the frame Rate use AVIFrate (http://www.inmatrix.com/files/avifrate_download.html)
6- For watching Use MiniDVD player from our polish friend (http://www.pik-net.pl/~jolay/html/mdvd_player.html)

Here is what i do, I made a little faq on it.

How to convert DVD to ASF in full resolution , version 1.0
(and without any commercial software too)
One, let me say the results are totaly stunning, we basicly get FULL DVD resolution/quality in a 650meg file ready for burning to one CDR. No 352 lowres VCDs on two cds here boy.
System Requirements...
1. P400 and above (celeron450+) (no amdk2s since their FP is real crap)
2. about 3 gig of HD space free.
3. mpeg2avi
4. DVD drive
5. dodsrip or decss to copy VOB to HD. 6. mpeg4 codecs from Windows Media Tools (beta codecs or ones that allow avis to work that are not licence crippled)
There are 3 basic steps to making your own movie rip
Step 1. copy content to hard drive
Step 2. decompress video and recompress to AVI with mpeg4 ,and decode audio to a wav file
Step 3. combine the two into an AVI and convert to ASF
Lets begin...
Step 1.
Using DeCSS or DODSrip, copy the relevant VOB files to your harddrive as one combined VOB file not exceeding 4gig (unless NTFS). So usualy this would be files Vts_01_1.vob to Vts_01_4.vob, in cases where a movie might span 5 vob files you can do files 1 to 3 as one part, and 4 to 5 as a second part.
Total time: 15mins
Step 2.
Recompressing Video
Use mpeg2avi here , there are a few things first that must be worked out. We need to know if its Widescreen or not, and if its aspect ratio shifted or not. So lets use our little table below for the right settings/args to pass to mpeg2avi.
Widescreen , Aspect ratio adjusted
mpeg2avi -b movie.vob -3Y 392 -1 720 320 -f5 -o8 movie.avi
Widescreen , normal
mpeg2avi -b movie.vob -1 720 320 -f5 -o8 movie.avi
4:3 Sized
(NOTE: you could use -1 640x288 if you dont mind cropping the side 5% which shouldnt matter. This will allow more bandwidth for other pixels)
mpeg2avi -b movie.vob 720 480 -f5 -o8 movie.avi
Now in places where we crop to 720 pixels wide, we can optionly crop to 640 if you wish to save a bit more bandwidth and feel its too wide.
Codec Selection: Select MS-Mpeg4-v3, use value of 20 for crispness to allow for fast motion, and for compression level , use this, rate = (88740/minutes_length), so a 90 minute movie would have 980kbps, and for 2hr movie its about 740kbps, inclusive of audio, so from that subtract your estimated audio bandwidth (normaly 56k).
Note: for 90 min or less movies, it might be wise to reduce the video rate by enough to allow for 96kbps or so audio rate so that we may have even better quality audio at little expense if any of video. So a 90min movie might have us 96kbps audio with 880kbps video. Which fits to 650meg.
Total time - 5hrs per 2hr movie on Celeron 450mhz
R Decompressing Audio
For this, we have two ways. Either use ac3dec with "ac3dec file.vob file.wav" and select raw PCM at 48000hz Stereo , we could select mp3 here but its best not to since we might have to adjust parameters later that only work in raw PCM wav files. Or use graphedt with the commercial codecs to convert more accurately. Generaly commercial codecs are faster and better, but my version of ac3dec is approaching commercial speeds now. (http://members.xoom.com/cheekyb0y/ac3decode.html)
Graphedt steps - first, get and install the XingDVD audio codec, DO NOT ever use the InterVideo Ac3 decode codec,(windvd) which also is part of dvd2mpg, it makes audio files that are not 100% 48000 in sync with the original sound, and so cause a lot of out of sync errors.
You also need the WAVDEST filter which is part of MAKEWAVE from members.xoom.com/mpeg2avi/ website. Then select render file from the FILE menu then once you have a few boxes, delete the video component and the last audio component. Then add WAVEDEST and FILEWRITE directshow filters from the Insert Filters menu, join then up, and hit PLAY. And its done.
Total time - 60mins for 2hr source movie.
NOTE: we can do both the above audio decoding and video recompressing at the same time to make use of resources better, ie, start and go to sleep or watch a few dvd's.
Step 3.
Heres the more technical and possibly the more difficult step if other programs above have bugs in generating our data. But it can be quick and easy.
First and most important, we must make sure the video and audio are in sync, two things could possibly cause bad syncs, 1. wrong initial audio offset caused by mpeg2avi, or 2. wrong fps causing a drifting in sync as you go. (ivaudio.ax is faulty)
Generaly with xing codec its 100% ok and therefore not tweeking is needed for fps changes other than the default 23.976
Ok, load up the AVI into VirtualDub, and select Audio->Wav file to add an audio track to the video. Hit play or seek forward about 60seconds till you can find someone talking and watch the sync. If its in sync, great we need not adjust the audio offset, if its out, then you must select the Audio->Interleve menu to adjust the offset by possibly 2000 to 4000ms.
Now seek foward towards the last 5% of the movie and hit play, here we find out if its in sync because of the FPS value. If its out of sync then bad luck, we must edit this with AVIFRATE from inmatrix.com. For every second the audio is late compared to the video, subtract 0.0035 from the FPS, and for every second the video is late compared to the audio, add 0.0035 to the FPS. Edit the fps in AVIFRATE, then re-load the avi into VirtualDub and re-check. Keep doing this until your are satisfied that its syned 100% ok at the start and at the end of the movie. This could take anything from 10mins to 2hours if you need fine adjustments. Its up to you to make the best judgement , it takes practice, so for now its a bitch. Until mpeg2avi decodes 100% ok streams then we have to do this crap.
Once ok, select File->save as ext. Save this as a direct copy video and direct copy audio track.
Now start another copy of VirtualDub, and load the new avi into VirtualDub, and then select an audio compresion codec to your liking (mp3 at 56kbps 24000hz or whatever you like). Then hit File->Save As, final_movie.avi
Step 4.
run your dosshell and type this in
vidtoasf.exe -in movie.avi -leadtime 5000 -seekable on -optimize 1 -out
moviename-DVDRIP.asf
Now your avi is turned into a full publishable .asf format file for every one to view and watch.
TIPS
To mimick the DVD experience, you may wish to copy the DVD menus into a html style interface with image maps at the buttons to go to other menus. To do this make screen snapshots of all screens with PowerDVD and same them all to jpegs, then make the HTML pages with any commercial web editor and make the jpegs as the pages pic with an image map at the button coords. At the PLAY MOVIE icon, link it to your movie.asf file. You also may wish to convert the trailers and/or special areas too. Then you could burn them all to cd and have a dvd like replica.

Bonjour Gej,
i'm afraid that the use of your ""DIVX MPEG4"" codec is not a fine advice:
1) asf or avi file will not be readable on other config without this divxmpeg4 installed.
2) you'll miss the specific very interesting opportunity to change MPEG4 decoding properties
with win media player, ie: cpu quality,colour, brightness, contrast ,hue
=> true full operational MPEG4 codec it the one of M$ MPG4C32.DLL version 4.00.0.3688

I Printed It Also!
BTW:
When Encoding into 30fps and Only Later Changing (for Example) to 24fps (Using AVI Frame Rate Changer) the AVI You Get is Smaller then the One You Get When Encoding Directly to 24fps.
Why Does 2 AVI's with the Same Number of Frames Have Different Sizes?
Why Not Always Encode First to 30fps and Only Later Change the fps with AVI Frame Rate Changer?
(Which Leaves the AVI File Size Alone)
That Way You Get 24fps AVI in a Size of 30fps AVI (Which is Much Smaller).
What am I Missing Here?
Is There Any AVI Frame Rate Changer with Custom fps Option?

Only a little apreciation.
If you use 720x304 you get the better 2.35 approach(2.3684) than 720x320 (2,25).
And for little black lines around the film I use 688x288 (2.3888).
At this moment I'm ripping at 100% crisp and 1200 kbps minimum (depends film duration) for Mpeg4 video and 128kbps 48000Hz for Mp3 audio, putting the whole thing in ASF format in 2 CD's.

I Printed It Also!
BTW:
When Encoding into 30fps and Only Later Changing (for Example) to 24fps (Using AVI Frame Rate Changer) the AVI You Get is Smaller then the One You Get When Encoding Directly to 24fps.
Why Does 2 AVI's with the Same Number of Frames Have Different Sizes?
Why Not Always Encode First to 30fps and Only Later Change the fps with AVI Frame Rate Changer?
(Which Leaves the AVI File Size Alone)
That Way You Get 24fps AVI in a Size of 30fps AVI (Which is Much Smaller).
What am I Missing Here?
Is There Any AVI Frame Rate Changer with Custom fps Option?

Only a little apreciation.
If you use 720x304 you get the better 2.35 approach(2.3684) than 720x320 (2,25).
And for little black lines around the film I use 688x288 (2.3888).
At this moment I'm ripping at 100% crisp and 1200 kbps minimum (depends film duration) for Mpeg4 video and 128kbps 48000Hz for Mp3 audio, putting the whole thing in ASF format in 2 CD's.
