Newbie question

[ookzDVD]

As I'm newbie, please allow me to post my question below :

1. Is that possible to make the whole .mpg without cutting ?
or is that possible to do cut by chapter, so the cutting point
is not in the middle of important scene.
or is there any good suggestion for the best cutting solution ?

2. What is the difference between "no-deinterlacing" and "keep
interlaced" ? Since my all DVD is all NTSC (Intelaced),
so should I perform "Deinterlaced" for that material ?
if you don't mind please share your experience with me.

3. "smart-deinterlace" is not working while using AviSynth 2.5 since
smartdeinterlace() function is not included in the mpeg2dec3.dll,
so we have to load the plugin .dll for smartdeinterlace ?


Thank you.

Welcome, newbie with 800+ posts. :D

1. Is that possible to make the whole .mpg without cutting ?
Yes, select a big media size. It's not possible to cut by chapter automatically, but you can do manual cutting.

There is no such a "best solution for cutting", but setting 10 seconds of overlap and let D2S do the cutting has worked for me very well.
2. What is the difference between "no-deinterlacing" and "keep interlaced" ?
The difference is that the first one is for non-interlaced material and the second is for interlaced material which you want to keep interlaced.

No, NTSC movies are not interlaced, they are typically telecined. D2S deals with it in the DVD2AVI tab. Read this (http://www.doom9.org/ivtc-tut.htm) for more info.

If autoload does not work, yes, you have to load it or store it in the autoload directory.

A couple of things I would add re. question 1.

If you select a large media size then cut manually, you are also lumbered with manual authoring. Granted it is not rocket science with, say, VCDEasy but it's still a hassle.

If you wish to cut by chapter read Q46 of the Q+A. You may select chapters for ripping. Hence to do a movie with 12 chapters on 2 CD's you could do 2 separate rips, putting chapters 1 to 6 on 1 CD then 7-12 on another.

Also there is Frame selection. If you tick "use frame selection" in the conversion tab a dialogue opens after DVD2AVI has finished allowing you to chop and change cut points and so on. I've never used it but I'm sure a search on "Frame selection" in this forum would find you some good info on how to use it.

How to do that ?

Thank you,
For "pure interlaced" material (Ad*lt movies)
which encoding mode you prefer :
encode in the prograssive frame while deinterlaced it,
or keep it interlaced and encode in the interlaced mode ?

It's adu*t movies, i can confirm that is "pure interlaced" :)

I have to make the "autoload" directory manually ?
and how to configure the D2S to make the autoload works ?

Thank you.

In the bbMPEG tab, check "CD Overlap seconds" and put 10 in the number on the right. It's really useful and comfortable to watch.

Well, I have not encoded Adult content or TV captures, where deinterlaced in really needed, but this guide (http://www.100fps.com/) is very good at explaining the different deinterlacing methods, and to help you decide if you want to do it.

If you ask me, I'd keep the interlacing. But that's because I'm ignorant on the matter. Do some searching since I bet this topic has been very well covered in the Capture forum.

Save this as a .reg file and edit it to point to your wannabe folder for plugins. Then import it into the registry (usually double-clicking suffices):

REGEDIT4
; ################################################
; Please edit the path to point to your plugins!
; NOTE that the path needs a double backslash \\
; ################################################
;
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Avisynth]
"PluginDir"="C:\\Archivos de programa\\DVD2SVCD\\Avisynth2.5 Plugins"

and how to configure the D2S to make the autoload works ?
You don't need to. I gets read from the registry.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
