Star Wars Episode 1 dvd9 to dvd5

[armyb77]

Ok I've been trying for about two weeks to backup The Phantom Menace, I used IFOedit to strip the VOBs, and then from there i've used ReMPEG2, which gave me a picture tick every second of film. Then I tried TMPGne and the picture was nice but it couldn't be remuxed with IFOEdit so I used DVD Junior instead, The playback looked good on the PC but on my stand alone DVD player the picture is very shaky. I finally tried CCE and it had a great picture but I had same shaky picture once played on my dvd player. I used Bitrateviewer to look at the original and the new vob they match perfectly?? I've tried even and odd field order. So my question is has anyone been able to do a good quality DVD backup with StarWars Episode 1? If so what programs did you use, or what am I doing wrong!!!
:mad:

I already own the DVD but I have a small son who likes getting into my DVD collection so I backup many movies to keep my kid away from the originals

any assistance would be of great help,
Thanks

Hi, have you considered doing a backup onto 2 x DVD5's using Ifoedit?? Rather than transcoding the film. That way you can keep the film etc in its proper form Have a peek at http://mpucoder.kewlhair.com/derrow/copy.html and see what you think
Happy ripping

Your problem is "DVD JUNIOR". This authoring program doesn't support 23.976 fps (film type). Better use authoring programs like Spruce-Up, Maestro, DVDit, Scenarist or any authoring program that can handle "film type" video. The problem is not your BITRATE when you reencode.

army, are you remembering to pulldown the output of CCE?

After you encode with CCE, your video stream is at 23.976 FPS, and you need it to be at 29.97 FPS before you author. Most DVD authoring packages will check this before they accept the input video, but some do not. I made this mistake once (forgetting to pulldown the video) and managed to author a disc (can't remember what software I used). Same problems you describe...shaky picture on the standalone.

Check Doom9's downloads if you need the software.

If you reauthor ...remember there are "forced" alien subtitles ....Sebulba etc...

With simpler auhtoring proggies....u don't get subtitle support...
So u gonna have to BURN the subs into the video during the rencoding phase.
BTW Tmpgenc VBR works fine on SWars 1

I finally managed to do a good copy using DVD2AVI(not forced), AVISYNTH, and CCE.

I used the following commands for the AVS file I created:
LoadPlugin("D:\decomb.dll")
loadplugin("D:\mpeg2dec.dll")
MPEG2Source("D:\VIDEO\test.d2v")
Telecide()

NO PULLDOWN.EXE WAS NEEDED TO FINISH. NTSC seems to have sync problems when I use DVD2AVI forced and then PULLDOWN.exe.

I then used DVD Junior to author the DVD. I got a great copy.
I thank everyone for all their help.
