First try transcoding using Rempg

[Dirkbox]

Well I followed the guied on this site and sort of messed up somehow.

I had to reboot my computer because it went of and created 18 VOB files all a gig and a bit in size.

Well what's that all about?

what did I don wrong?:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

well.. everybody claims they followed the guide to the letter.. 95% of the cases it's not try to I would suggest you start giving us some more info.. start with the movie, how you ripped, what you did in ifoedit, etc

[Dirkbox]

OK here a full explanation of what I did.

Film is A.I Region 2 (PAL)
Ripped whole dvd to hard drive.
Stripped out DTS & French soundtracks, this left me with my Vob’s that were just over 6 gig(VTS_2_0to7.VOB).
I then pulled in my menu vob’s and IFO (VTS1(8mb)

From that I created a D2V file using the 7 vobs from VTS2 (main movie).
This was then loaded into Rempg. I worked out the bit rate using the dvdr calc. This told me that I had to move the slider to 62%. Did this chose 720 & match original (not the correct term but I’m away from my PC at the mo)

Then went back to the main tab pressed encode, named it secondtry.m2v, left it, came back and it had produced a 23mb M2V file. (That first time I did it I thought that 23mb was too small so I ran it again and it gave me exactly the same file size.(also the first time it did not give me a file extension))

I then opened Infoedit and choose my main IFO (VTS2), clicked on VOB extras, tick remux and the other two boxes, selected my secondtry.m2v file and away it went. It then started processing VOBs.

I turned my PC off when it got to 18vob’s due to the fact that I only had 50mb left on my c: drive.

obviously something goes wrong during the rempeg phase.. no need to go even further than that.

how did you rip the disc? does the title contain multiangles or seamless branching stuff? does the main movie have one vob id or multiple? if the latter.. give me a list of what each vob id contains

[Dirkbox]

I used smart ripper to rip.
No to multi angles not sure about branching.

I have attached a file to show what things look like in IfoEdit.

I'm goging to try it with TMPGEnc to see if that works.

I want to sort this out so I cna then move on to trying to do it with CEE.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

thx

Well started all over again.

I just thought I'd check to see how long the film really was and it looks like something has happened to the VOB's. The movies freezes at 1:56.

Also the D2V file I created in DVD2AVI won't open in Rempg.

SO I've just deleted every thing todo with A.I off of my PC.

I'll try it with another film and see how I get on.

I do not understand why this project should fail.
Have you tried to create a Template.cffl for Rempeg? This should work ever, i had no problems with tanscoding with Rempeg. In the Guide Section of this great site there i a example.

Hi Dirkbox,
did you create a CFFL and open it in REMPEG. Should be a text file with a file extension of CFFL and inside have a list of the vobs you want to encode. should look something like this

CFFL
VTS_01_1.VOB
VTS_01_2.VOB
VTS_01_3.VOB
VTS_01_4.VOB
VTS_01_5.VOB
VTS_01_6.VOB

when its finished and youve encoded (62% I think you said) you will be left with your m2v file. Make sure you create/save this file in the same directory as your VOBS or youll get a tiny file that doesnt do anything.

hope this helps a bit

Bodman....

[Dirkbox]

Thx

I did all that.

I think the problem was in the fact that the VOB were somehow corrupted.

Doesn't matter now as I've deleted all trace of the film.

I will try it again with another film
