BeSweets VOB-support

[sillKotscha]

hi folks,

when using SmartRipper to backup any DVD to HD, what you get are consecutively named VOBs. These VOBs are automatically loaded in DVD2AVI when choosing the first VOB. The result is a *.d2v projectfile with an extracted AC3-stream.

Now BeSweet re-supports VOB-Input. But the only possible solution (AFAIK) is to choose VOB by VOB. Or does BeSweet handle these VOBs like DVD2AVI... choosing the first VOB and then it automatically loads all other consecutively named VOBs?

If not, is it possible to "join" the consecutively named VOBs to only one VOB-file? Then it would be very easy to load this only one VOB-file in BeSweet and then convert it to MP3/OGG-Vorbis.

thanks in advance,

cheers Sill

in the old days (vstrip used for vob input) you could use a listfile to load all vobs consecutively.. I think that's still possible (though I haven't tried it as I have no use for vob input.. )

thank you,

do you mean something like this...

open a command window (DOS mode), choose all the VOBs.
type: copy /b 1.vob + 2.vob + n.vob target.vob (/b for binarycopy )

if that should work... great!!

list file means something like this:

E:\source\VTS_01_1.vob
E:\source\VTS_01_2.vob
E:\source\VTS_01_3.vob

in a text file, then you need to specify the text file as your -input textfile.lst -substream 0x81. Or whatever your substream is.

I tried it with this particular set of vob's and got a crc error in BeSweet after the first vob. Then it started over, so the output has the first vob's sound, then the first vob's sound again, then the second and the third. So if I'm not doing anything wrong, it appears that this feature isn't quite finished. Try this out and let us know how it goes with your set of vob's.

hi pacohaas,

as you said, a list file means something like that


E:\source\VTS_01_1.vob
E:\source\VTS_01_2.vob
E:\source\VTS_01_3.vob


because of lazyness I used the already existing list-file (vts_02.lst)


D:\Movies\Trainingday\vts_02_1.vob
D:\Movies\Trainingday\vts_02_2.vob
D:\Movies\Trainingday\vts_02_3.vob
D:\Movies\Trainingday\vts_02_4.vob
D:\Movies\Trainingday\vts_02_5.vob
D:\Movies\Trainingday\vts_02_6.vob


this file I was trying to convert and the following error occured


BeSweet v1.4b11 by DSPguru.

unable to get VOBinput.dll?!!! but the required 'dll' is definitive in the BeSweet-folder...

:confused:

BTW: crc error in BESweet?... AFAIK a crc error occures when you have defective ("incorrect") or at least inferior RAM-modules ... set your BIOS to "F5 - SetupDefaults"... this may helps

Load the vobs into DVD2AVI, cut the part you wanted, and then
save the project .d2v with demultiplexing the AC3 stream.

aha, but that wasn't my question... I know how to get the AC3-stream, what I want is direct vob2ogg transcoding... as it is mentioned above
