How to convert a VIDEO_TS folder with meGUI and H.264?

[mike23]

I would like to convert with meGUI a ripped DVD to H.264 encoded video (avi or mp4 or mkv).

How do I do this? The VIDEO_TS folder is available on hard disc.

As far as I understand I have to create at first an AviSynth script with menu
tools->create script

But which file do I have to select as video input source?

IFO seems not to work

Use DGIndex (found in "Tools" folder) to make a d2v file representing all the VOB files that make up the program chain you want to encode. It will usually be the largest by file size and hence number of VOBs. For instance, if you have a feature movie with a few extras, and you only want the main movie - which happens to be the second title set on the disc, you'd make a d2v file of all these VOBs:

VTS_02_1.VOB
VTS_02_2.VOB
...
until you hit the end of the set. You don't want to include VTS_02_0.VOB, though.

You open all these files in DGIndex, make sure your audio demux options are set as you want, and then go to "Save Project". Open the resulting D2V file in a text editor of your choice - if, near the bottom, it says XX% film and XX is greater than maybe 95%, re-do the d2v creation but check "force film" in the DGIndex -> Video -> Field Operation submenu.

In addition, you can handle the entire process automatically using MeGUI's One Click Encoder.
