Not all the DVD is encoded-matter with ifo file

[manuthemalicious]

Hello,
I’ve just installed dvd2svcd with cce sp2.5 on my computer and want to copy my first DVD…
Of course, I have a problem...
When I hit the “CD” picture in the conversion section, the ifo file selected is “VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_0.IFO” wich is the biggest ifo files on the DVD. Unfortunately, the movie lenght is only 20 minutes whereas the entire film is 120min (6 episodes of 20 minutes).
I tryed the other ifo files without success.

At this stage, if I hit “rip and convert”, I obtain the first episode with a good quality...but nothing about the 5 others!

Something else (I spend really long time trying all the butons...), In the “movie lenght”, I can see all the 6 episodes (these wich are 20 minutes long) and if I select for exemple the 3 episode and hit “rip and convert”, I will obtain the 3rd episode.
The matter is that I’m actually not able to get the all 6 episode in one operation, I must convert all the episode one by one selecting them in the “movie lenght” so I get 6 .bin files...

This is the report:

Preparing vobfiles to be ripped:

- H:\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_3.vob
- H:\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_4.vob
- H:\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_5.vob
- H:\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_6.vob
- H:\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_7.vob

And when the ripping is finished, I only find VTS_01_1 and VTS_01_2 in the folder.
It's strange because it prepare all the vob files but only rip 2 of them.

Please, help!

Thank you.

There are ways to optimize this, but since this is your first time, I suggest you do it manually in order not to run into trick-specific troubles.

Hy.

Could you please explain me the way to optimise?

Are you sure of that? It seems that only VTS_01_1 and VTS_01_2 are ripped.

Thank you.

6x20 minute episodes fit like two per CD, maybe three. Select the media size you want as 800/2 = 400 and encode each one separately, with "No images" checked. Then author them to 3 SVCDs with VCDEasy.
