4 sections of dvd rip....lot's of VOB files...can I encode all at once???

[Superturtle]

I'm wanting to encode two tower special edition. I've ripped them using dvdencrypter and now I've got 4 seperate folders with vob files with a total of 26 vob files. Is there a way that I can just do one encode of all the vob files instead of 4 seperate encodes?

I want to do this using Gknot.

Much Thanks.

Much Thanks. You should be able to do this with MPEGmediator 1.5 (www.mpegmediator.com)

Cheers

EDIT: Yep, it works with Mediator!

Can't you just put them all in the same folder, then load into DVD2AVI and make a .d2v?

Why to put in same folder?. It can be loaded irespective of what folder you have. Only requirement is loading should be done in required order. i.e load film 1 complete, then film2 and so on. And don't rename or move your folders unless error will happen.

DVD2AVI may have trouble with concatenated vob sets, due to sync delay differences in audio streams, or due to incomplete GOP sequences. There are circumventions, such as concatenating in AviSynth.

When I did the first EE of LOTR, I added all the vob files of the first DVD in DVD2AVI, and then with "add" I added the VOB's of the 2nd DVD.
Then I encoded everything as one big AVI, and trimmed the black frames at the beginning of the 2nd DVD away.
Then I cut the video data in 2 parts, synched the AC-3 with those parts, merged everything together in one big AVI, and then split it to 3 CD's.

So basically Very easy: glue all the video data together in DVD2AVI and encode as a whole, then cut up in pieces to sync with audio, and then split into cd's.

But in the EE of the Two Towers (2nd movie), all the audio is merged into 1 big AC-3 (after demuxing of the "glued" DVD's in DVD2AVI), so I think there are no frames to be trimmed at the start of the 2nd DVD.
:confused:

Edit: oh yes, forgot to mention I'm still doing n-th pass encode, so I haven't got around synching audio yet.
