I never tried it this way, but I think you need an installed DVD Player (soft), then it should be possible.

But if anyone has this experience, then post it please.

Try this. Click "file">>MPEG Tools>>Demultiplex...load .vob in source window...double click and save the video stream that pops up in the main window...double click and save the audio stream. Now close out...go to "file">>MPEG Tools>>Simple Multiplex...select MPEG2 Program VBR...in Video source select the .m2v file you just made...in audio source select the .ac3 file you saved...click run. Then if you want to destroy the superb DVD you just made by making it a SVCD the wizard will be accomodating. Tell us of your results.

Yesterday I tried it at a friend with an installed dvd soft player, it works. You are able to open VOB files in TMPGEnc and don't need any complicated settings!

I followed these steps exactly and I am STILL getting an error loading the my VOBs with the wizard after re-multiplexing. It's surprising that nobody has tried loading a VOB file with TMPE without having to install additional software!!

Can someone please help?

Thanks in advance!

Its pretty simple. I use This method to make my VCD's and SVCDs EXCLUSIVELY now that I've worked it out!

First, get DVD decryptor 3.9.0.0 (its free)

Then, making sure your hard disk is formatted as NTFS (because it supports unlimited file size, FAT32 etc have a limits. Besides, NTFS is way more efficient and faster) Windows XP does this automatically.

Use DVD decryptor in IFO mode. Make sure you change the default settings to set the file size limit to unlimited, and also enable stream processing by default.

Go to the stream information tab on the main window, and disable everything except the main video stream (usually the first stream) and the language stream you want (usually the second stream for english).

Hit the rip button, wait 10 minutes, and go check the directory.

You should have a single .VOB file of around 4gb-->6gb, rather than several small files as found on the original DVD. Also, this VOB will only contain the video and audio stream.

Open up Tmpeg, go through the wizard for whatever standard format (VCD, SVCD etc) you want, and for the video source, select your big VOB file (set the file type to all files so you can see it!). This should also auto-populate the audio source (also the vob file).

Start it going, and wait till its done! (my 2200XP+ with 512DDR goes at ~30FPS!!!) You can then split the mpeg to 1 disk sizes.

The only problem I ran into was that TMPEG wouldnt accept VOB files unles you ripped out all the extra streams, i.e. alternate languages etc. This isnt a problem though, since DVD decrypter does it for you!

When TMpeg looks at the big VOB file, all it contains are the video's m2v stream and the english ac3 stream, so it can understand the VOB as a normal video+audio stream file.

Anyway, This method is faster than any other "all-in-one" ripper (Dup-DVD, DVDcopyone, DVD-squeeze) and the quality kicks the ass out of the lot of them.

Also, all the software is free (well, unless you want to use Tmpeg to do SVCD's for more than 30 days, VCD encoding is always available)


Hope this helps.
