Guide: DVD-9 to DVD-5 "Full Copy" Revision

[TRILIGHT]

I didn't feel like typing everything twice or editing my original post. Since the new release of SubRip, the process has gotten a little less complicated when it comes to subtitles. I've made the appropriate changes to the guide and it can be found here...

Doom9 is supposed to have a copy of it up on the Doom9 site at some point as well. Please follow the new instructions. I am taking the "guide" post that I made off of "sticky" status to try to keep people from following more complicated instructions.

Keep up the good work :)

..Might I suggest that you actually create a PAL version of the guide, since this would be pretty easy for you, to select the relevant parts (i.e. no pulldown etc), and would avoid confusing PAL newbies?

Kind regards,

P.S. I'm interested in your thoughts on the following:

Good idea, Arky. Perhaps you could help me on that front though. I do not have any PAL DVD's or any PAL capable DVD players so anything I would do would be total guessing on my part with no way to verify anything.

oops! see my reply to the above thread /\ (regarding DV vs. DVD ripping)

Hi i started following this guide for a PAL DVD succesfully and there are only a bit modifications i'll enlist:

1.- chapter xtractor fps 25 (automatic)

2.- subrip cropping step : 720*576 (instead of 720*480)/ spruce DVD maestro step: 25 fps

3.-NO pulldown.exe ( this is the big problem because i can't get 2 pulldown streams: output.m2v and output-drop.m2v and my subs are desync, out of time)Please help TRILIGHT or anybody experienced!!!

4.- Maestro/project properties/PAL option (NTSC is default)

And that's all, pretty easy, isn't it?

Hi
Finally i could get one DVD standalone functional movie (4.38 GB) with all menus and extras, audio and subs perfectly on sync, it's really amazing and i followed the TRILIGHT+DVD2SVCD RoBa OPTION.
I must say i encoded a PAL movie CALIGULA R2(7.4 GB), and i only changed the parameters mentioned above. I didn't make the two streams process (pulldown)trick because it's PAL and my subs are on sync only importing the .son file in MAESTRO, i hope this works for all PAL movies.
Try it!!!
Note: With this method i only had problems with a multi PGC movie, but that's very documented around here.
