MakeItEasy

You can load up the original .ifo into IfoEdit and view the audio and sub languages, etc. They'll be in the same order as the ones created by IfoEdit in the DVD2ONE directory.

Whilst I see most of us are busily using Instant Copy at this point in time, due to the fact that I cannot download it at this point in time im stuck with Make it easy DVD2One and IFO edit.

Anyway I get upto step 3 in Makeit easy, but for some reason the IFOS created by IFO edit are not readable with DVD2One, once it goes to start transcoding I get an error, every time, any help?


Thanks.

Sycophant? Now there's a word that doesn't come up often in a conversation... did you go to Oxford or Cambridge?

I would have made it simple and used the term 'arse-kissers' but didn't want to fall into the same band as some of your followers

If you'd spend less time with the dictionary and more time with the search box on this page, you might actually solve some of the many problems you're experiencing with video editing. Otherwise, you're just cluttering the forums with worthless babble. I'm learning that when I see the little Will Hay picture in a thread, It's either a question (usually in the wrong forum) or a useless long-winded diatribe. Now, try that search box...it won't bite.
Good luck,

[OsirisMedia01]

Thanks for the link mate.

I wasnt kncoking the app either, sorry as it came out that way I was just rather irrated at IFO edit I guess, and I figured since make it easy reffered to using IFOedit maybe someone else had encountered a similar problem.

But yeah very hady app none the less dude, just out of sheer frustration at getting this backup to work im gonna keep stomping on the ol fashioned way, none of this instant copy stuff, hehe yet :P

Good luck,

Please feel free to demonstrate the mistakes I'm making in posting in the wrong forum, I'm not proud enough *not* to learn from my mistakes.
I seem to remember doing this once so clearly this is a punishable offence and worthy of mentioning, my, erm, apologies, perhaps?
Please feel free to request my advice on any words over three syllables ("id-i-ot" for example) you're having trouble with.
Please feel free to demonstrate what's wrong with 'it's [either] a question...or", I thought this was the purpose of any forum.
...As far as I can tell the only advice I've sought recently is a problem I've had with MakeItEasy, a problem I believe the author has acknowledged.
I was quite happy to provide the information the author requested, but sought clarification as to what *exactly* I was required to do.
I also recently posted a problem I had with TMPGEnc and later solved it, and you'll notice I posted the remedy this morning to assist anyone else having the same problem.
Now young-un (as we say on my particular part of the planet earth), if you hadn't been so ignorant in your first post to [username] coach I wouldn't be dug deep in your subconscious right now, and we wouldn't be having this hellish dialogue at this very moment.
I believe I made a comment in my last thread about not spoiling the forum and I intend to hold to this, even if you do not.
I suggest you contact me via personal message and we can continue your tuition in the appropriate medium.
Oh, and 'If you'd spend less time with the dictionary'?
Are you insulting my grasp of the English language?
In a language perhaps even you would understand....
"....ug ug ug - get real"
As I mentioned ('menshund') above, please feel free to contact me via PM, you have nothing to offer me in this forum other than intellectual ignorance.

Very pretty application yours jdobbs!
I've done Mission Impossible 2 and Pulp Fiction, both pal version..
I haven't tried the new dvd2one release yet, I've heard InstatCopy do that shitty job very nice..I'll be judging what's the better way.

My pc sucks..I've made mission impossible in 8hours in the complex..
550mhz my CPU :(

Byebye!

Yeah, I have to say that Will's independant thought is a refreshing change from most of the mindless drivel I've seen around lately. ;)

[Eyes`Only]

I'm posting just so I stay subscribed to this thread! I was just about to unsubscribe from it because it's obviously of no use to me, but then "Along comes Will!"

Thanks, Will! Your commentary has brightened our lives. I've started a fan club for you in #doom9, we're all waiting to see who challenges you next! LOL

[HeeD]

Sorry to bud-in on this little soap-opera but I got a question:

Since DVD2One 1.01 release allowing to set the target size, is MakeItEasy still useful for anything?

Is there plans to turn it into a better helper program to keep track of VOBs etc. for purposes of backing up full DVD ?

[int 21h]

This thread has turned into a big flame war, I think my eyebrows have been singed, and I haven't even posted yet.

I think we all need to just step away from the keyboard for a moment, take a deep breath, come back, hook jdobbs up with the stuff he needs to fix his program, and move on!

I leave you with this...

My friends, we should all feel 'rich' after this thread.

@jdobbs:
so far I have backed up the entire Xfiles season 1 with the combined method makeiteasy+dvd2one.
Worked perfectly.
Not problem at all, chapter points matched perfectly

Ok the DVD might be easy since there is only 1 VTS, no angle but I was pretty happy to see that I could have the video not jerky while with CCE, the video was jerky on the TV.

I have going to try now Minority report since I have seen that it was a more or less complicated DVD.
I let you know

anyway good job

FYI for those unfamiliar... this is a problem with the configuration and not the tool itself. Chances are, you were supposed to IVTC and you didn't.

[dvdRENEGADE]

@emistral
X-Files Season One Region 1 was a hybrid title, which mixes both progressive and interlaced frames. I made a backup of it using CCE/Scenarist and encoded it as interlaced. The playback was flawless. You could run in through Decomb and save a little bitrate, but that can be hit and miss in certain situations. I doubt you will need that information now that there are much quicker options available, but there it is just in case.

[Eyes`Only]

You encoded an IVTC stream as interlaced? I've never heard of that working correctly before. You didn't use Telecide() at all? Or FieldDeinterlace()?

[dvdRENEGADE]

@Eyes`Only

I don't understand why everyone always recommends a Decomb IVTC with a hybrid source. In my opinion, interlaced is the best way to encode hybrid material. I used it with X-Files Season DVDs and a few of the Star Trek movies which had several interlaced portions within the mostly progressive movie. Of course, you could run it through Decomb and have room for a higher bitrate. Just encoding it all as interlaced guarantees a smooth flawless playback everytime, but remember to uncheck top field first within CCE 2.5. It always encodes top field first whether this is checked or not. Otherwise, you'll get the stutters.

P.S.
I live in the states, so this option may not particularly be your best option.

I'm sorry to disapoint you folks but all lil' old Will from 'lil old England has to contribute right now is :o
I'm all embarrassed!
Can I be a moderator now please? ;) ;) :D :D :D :D
Will :)

[The_Flash]

For hybrid material you could also try just using the Telecide() function to clean things up without decimating any frames.
Also, "Decimate(mode=1,threshold=50)" works well for hybrids.

I'm going to have to say "less." In fact, I don't think it comes any easier for a DVD-9 than this. All extras are on a 2nd disc, the main movie is in the first title set, and each of these title sets are single PGC.

@Will Hay: Ug Ug!

[Eyes`Only]

Yeah I agree. Minority Report was VERY easy to do.

I've never understood the mode=1 switch. It says in the documentation that it causes it to make a decision of which frames to drop. But if you don't use cycle=5 you don't drop any frames anyway!? I've ran this one around my community, no one had an explanation. I've noticed if you do cycle=5,mode=1 it just ignores the cycle=5 also. So can you explain what in the world mode=1 does? I've had users try mode=1 vs. no Decimate at all and they didn't see a difference.
