New to Ripping

[danube100]

HI,
I am new to ripping and very keen on learning on how to rip like the professionals do.

I am currently ripping a DVD which is from one of my personal collections.

The basic Avisynth Script is as follows:
DGDecode_mpeg2source("C:\Users\Arjun\Desktop\VTS_02_1.d2v", cpu=4, info=3)
ColorMatrix(hints=true, interlaced=true, threads=0)
tfm(order=1).tdecimate()
crop( 2, 58, -2, -58)

Spline64Resize(720,304) # Spline64 (Sharp)
#denoise

And this is the link for the sample...

Send Big files the easy way.. (http://www.sendspace.com/file/osyzva)

I just a total begginer and would like to go for 1/3 DvD rip using x264 and xvid..

Your script is fine; it's exactly how everyone else would IVTC a hard telecined source, crop it, and then resize it. What you do with it from there is entirely governed by how you perceive the visual quality of the result; on some sources 1000kb/s x264 may be sufficient, on some sources 2000kb/s x264 may not give acceptable detail retention and/or block avoidance. If you don't care about filesize, just encode in CRF mode: 18 is visually acceptable in the majority of cases. If you do care about filesize, encode a representative sample from the source with CRF mode, determine the bitrate applied at a CRF Value that looks good to you, and then use that in 2-pass mode.

No one is going to baby you through the process (in other words ask more specific questions!)... use search and browse through the wealth of knowledge contained in the forums to learn for your self.

You did not ask a question yet.

You can learn about filters from the abundant resources already available.

neuron I tried learning but I did not understand anything that which filter is which and where to apply to which..... My basic Question is that how can I improve the above script in order to improve the quality...

I actually tried that but there is no specific thread where I can focus upon to learn about the filters....

There is already over 9000 threads about avisynth usage here:

Most sources DO NOT need additional filters. Filters are for fixing problems. If you can't identify a specific problem with your source, then you don't need to do anything else.

that is the site from which I tried to learn but really got very confused and could not even understand a single thing...

Maybe your approach is wrong. Instead of trying to learn all about filters and then try to choose which might help you, it might be better to focus on your video and problems you see in it. Then post a specific question about what filter might help with that specific problem in your video. That may enable you to digest smaller chunks of information.

As pointed out, nobody is going to rewrite as "Filters for Dummies" all the existing information.

My approach was that only...I will surely try out your advise...

Use SAR-value (as source) for the reencode in x264, converting to DAR loses compression.

just a good dvd ripper will help u very much
try here (link removed)
As I write this you've made 4 posts in quick succession, all of them useless and pointless. I'm going to strike you for this one as it's nothing but pure spam. Watch yourself. You've been warned.

Manono, to really make it stick, you might want to remove the link to avoid increasing this spammer's SEO ranking...

[manono]

Good idea. What's an SEO ranking?

[HymnToLife]

Search Engine O-something, maybe?

EDIT: Wikipedia suggests "Optimization".
