AutoGK + Series DVDs

[ArcticFox]

I have band of brothers 6 disc set and i want to rip them to xvid to preserve the DVDs since they are getting a bit tatty now,

with AutoGK i rip the full dvd, but when i click the dir it only chooses the largest episode on the disc, there are 2, is there any way of selecting the 2nd episode?

Hi-

Are you decrypting in IFO Mode, as you should? It's true that DVDDecrypter will open the largest PGC by default, but to find the other episode you only have to hit those "+" things to find the other episode. Don't be afraid to look around. And save them to separate folders on your hard drive.

I am still new so my solutions may not help but one of the first jobs I wanted to tackle was the old Dick Van Dyke Show and the Sopranos.

I did Dick Van Dyke first. This was very easy as each episode was seperate VOB grouping on the DVD and it was easy to move them into a folder of their own for enoding. However the Sopranos was not like that but I realized I could seperate them out by using DVDShrink to Reauthor each episode into a seperate folder. Since the output was smaller than a DVD they did not require any compression and DVDShrink just seperated them out. You can also use DVDShrink to cut out the credits prior to encoding which saves space.

This worked great except for a problem I had with the very first disk. I had backed it up to a DVD+RW and the original was damaged and would no longer read. So in attempting to encode the episodes with AGK I got the "Unable to find audio" problem. I looked in the log folder but there is no besweet log so I don't know how to fix this problem.
