Attack of the Clones (PAL)

[jedidaz]

I've ripped the film, used ReMPEG to 'squash' to 80% but the film seems to twitch. This can be seen clearly on the 'Long long time ago' screen and returns approx 1 hour into film. Has anyone else had this problem or is it just mine. I'm still using Ifoedit 0.88 until I know 0.95 is safe. Any help would be appreciated

[doh-doh-doh]

i to made a BACK-UP of starwars 2 but with no problems. I used dvd decrypter to rip the movie and sound track, then used dvd2avi, then vfapiconverter, cinema craft encoder to make it a bit smaller and the last program is dvd maestro to add chapters and add the sound track back to the movie.. end result SH*T hot BACK-UP with 5.1 sound track.:D :D

I use to get that problem, after scanning the forums came across a message that helped me rid it.....

Long process but works

Rip with DVD Encrypter

IFO edit with .932 version
Encode with Rempeg
Then remux to new directory with .6 version Ifo Edit
Copy over IFO's & BUP's created with first edit
Open v.932 and get VTS Sectors
Then strip again with V.932 to final directory
Get VTS Sectors again
Test & burn with nero....

:D

I have the same problem as jedidaz, also Episode 1 has the same problem. So thanks for your advise Digital_Monkey. Now one question remains:

Where can I get ifoedit 0.6?

[Digital_Monkey]

I got it from here:
http://mpucoder.kewlhair.com/Derrow/index.html

make sure u get Ifo and Vob...

Good luck ;)

Hi Guys,

I have done as instructed be Digital_Monkey for Episode 1 (same twitching problem as mentioned by jedidaz, only throughout the whole movie) but without succes.

I have rempeged the movie and the m2v file contains already the twitching!! Also some parts of the image show a low resolution (blocks) again in the m2v file. The only option that I changed in ReMpeg is resolution (720 x 480), the rest remains unchanged. I have done over 20 DVD's but these Star Wars seems to give trouble......

Anybody any ideas what might go wrong?

[Ridgeback]

Me too, both movies.

dvd decrypter, ifo-edit, rempeg 2 82% they twitched so didn't bother remuxing

[dilligaf]

Ive just about given up on rempeg when I tried to backup Starwars Ep1, I went the re-encode route with tmpegenc with Ep2. For this movie it was 3800 kbs 2-pass vbr, authored with Ifoedit 0.95. No video hiccups at all.The 6ch ac3 + the directors commentary fitted on ok :)

[drafty]

Dilligraf,
on IFOedit 0.95 do you use the create template button? Does this now work ok? I still filter the output file and BTW I saw some stange frame numbers at the start of that file the other day :eek: . I usually remove all frames that are not I frames and encode with tmpgenc.

Drafty ;)

The problem is not of EpisodeII but of reMPEG that don't build decent .m2v when the film make higly use of digital effect and when the dvd use angles (at the movie start there is 2 angles for scrolling text in different languages).
Result blocky video stream exspecially in lighting scenes and where is present the 2 angles.
The only way to solving this problem is use CEE (Cinemacraft Engine Encoder) to encode the movie at 3500 of averege bitrate. The result is very very good, vere close to orginal.

Nah Drafty, I just used this template, just change tv system & bitrate to suit. :)

Hi

i used dvd decrypter on my star war 2 DVD and only kept one angle and one audio track. VOB files seem to be fine when read with power dvd.
then i did my D2V project. The matter is that i can't use my D2V file...CCE says "gdiploadimage from file failed :3"

any idea ?

thanks

[JF Sebastian]

Hi m8. I also used Decrypter > DVD2AVI route on SWEP2:AOTC, (although I reencode with TMPG Plus 2.5 rather than CCE) and reauthored it with Maestro with the 5.1 soundtrack. It plays perfectly, EXCEPT:

I have no subtitles in the sequences where they are required (such as when Annakin returns to Tatooine or when Dooku speaks to his allies). I can't seem to determine where they are on the dvd fileset, or indeed how to get them into Maestro in the correct spot on the timeline. I tried to follow this:
http://www.doom9.org/index.html?/mpg/dvdr-guides.htm
but got the entire subtitle track - did I strip the wrong stream do you think?

I haven't done any movies with subtitles of the twenty or so I have completed successfully following this method, so I'm guessing a bit.

Do you know how to extract these specific subtitles and inport them correctly into Maestro? Fingers crossed!!

JF

[dvd_maniac]

are the subtitles you are looking for in another angle?

[JF Sebastian]

dvd_maniac
I dunno m8. After trying endless combinations of streams stripping and other efforts, I cannot locate the correct subpicture that depicts the alien language subtitles in AOTC R2.

What's frustrating is that I've got a perfect m2v and ac3 just waiting to author in Maestro - just can't get these f-ing subtitles to finish the whole thing!!
