Xvid ripping problem

[TrashCanMan]

First of all i'm glad i can finally post and hopefully figure my problem out. I've been through this site several time and if this has already benn discussed I'm sorry for rehashing it. anyway here is my problem. I'm trying to rip this concert DVD to xVid and having major issues. Here is my log:

I have tried this over and over, reading and re-reading the instructions/tutorial again and again. What I end up with is extremely distorted video, square green blocks, and the sound is either muffled or hissing. This DVD does have LPCM audio on it and that is the one I'm trying to use.

I'm using AutoGK and the tutorial off this site. Please help me out all I want to do is share this awesome concert and I'm loosing my mind.

If it's any help my specs are as follows:

Win XP Pro
Asus K8V Deluxe
A64 3200+
1GB Corsair 3200
9800 Pro

thanks,

how did you rip the DVD?
is it ok, if you play the VOBs from your HD?
regards
t :)

[TrashCanMan]

I rip the whole DVD, according the the tutorial, with DVD Dcrypter to my HD and can play the VOB's no problem. So it has to be in the encoding settings, somewhere.

[niamh]

How long is this thing? it looks like it's impossible to compress in one CD, quite simply.

[8/23/2004 9:50:46 PM] Video size: 438,453,632 bytes (418.14 Mb)
1)I understand you want to keep the audio as is, but look at this ^^. You have nearly as much allocated to the audio as to the video for a start.

[8/23/2004 9:50:46 PM] Source is considered to be interlaced.
2)It's a hybrid, but mainly video(interlaced) so you're not able to IVTC it and gain bitrate by getting the framerate down to 23.97

[8/23/2004 10:02:07 PM] Compressibility percentage is: 8.54

3)(!)....................(!!!). To get a decent output, you need at least 60% compression......40 % at the very very least. AGK deals with it the best way it can i.e.

[8/23/2004 10:02:07 PM] Using softer matrix.
[8/23/2004 10:02:07 PM] Using softer resizer.
[8/23/2004 10:02:07 PM] Chosen resolution is: 256x192 ( AR: 1.33 )
[8/23/2004 10:02:07 PM] Predicted comptest value is: 64.58
Right, now you have a resolution of 256x192. There is NO way you can get a good result with that type of resolution.

There is only one solution, you need to encode to 2 CD, I would even say 3 :)

By the way, any reason you pick one CD and a bit (725 mb) as final size? just curious...

As for the audio, I guess it's a simple filter configuration for output. Check if this thread (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=80873) fixes you :)

[TrashCanMan]

This concert is 1 hour 35 minutes and the audio track I want is LPCM 2ch 48000khz/24bit. I have tried setting it for 2 CD's and get the same results. The sound i get is not low it's just a loud hissing noise and you can bearly here the music in the background. I only picked 725MB to try to get as much on a CD-R as possible. Man I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I am at work right now and cannot try anything in the link you provided but will definetly try any and everything you guys suggest when I get home.

I'm hoping to get this dialed in this weekend I've been battling this since last week and am just glad that I can finally post in here and get some help.

Thanks

OK I re-did it with AGK set to 2 CD's. Same issue. I wish I could post it.

Why is the audio smaller this time? Did you convert it to MP3? What happens when you play the LPCM or the MP3(?) files by themselves? Do they still have that nasty sound?

I'd suggest extracting the audio yourself as WAV audio by going into DGIndex and Audio->Output Method->Decode to WAV, making an MP3 from it in Besweet, and then muxing it back in yourself.

Offhand, I don't know what's wrong with the video. Perhaps a screenshot of a problem frame would help. However, concert DVDs are among the worst and most difficult to compress. They use crappy video cameras, are often handheld, you have lights flashing all around, and in general are a real pain to work with.

And as niamh speculated earlier, it looks like this should be a 3 CD rip.

I've never seen anything that compresses apparently so little. It's reasonable to expect a 90 minutes footage to fit on one CD....but with 2 CD you still get only 25% compression...
I suggest you do this one through normal gordian knot if you feel up to it so as to be able to pile denoisers in the avisynth script, that help compression a lot

I bet this thing is directly mastered off a VHS too, it wouldn't help the original quality. Remember that if the blocks are in the source, you can't remove them.....I can guess it has rainbows too, just for good measure :D in short, a horror DVD.

You could try for target quality(75%), and check if the result is a) looking good b) how big is it. But i've the feeling you may not get away with it without some big guns denoisers/filters for a decent size... a little sample would indeed help :)

You are probably absolutly correct. I have the original on VHS and was so stoked when I saw that they were re-releasing it as a special bonus DVD in this box set.

I did nothing different as far as settings for sound go. But I'm glad you brought it up. Since I couldn't get it to .avi I figured it would cool to at least be able to listen to it in the car, so off to get DVD Audio Extractor I go, and guess what, it worked, sort of. It let me rip the LPCM audio track to a 1.1gig .wav file that sounds totally awesome, except for about half an hour, in a couple different spots, where it has this nasty, loud click - click - click sound. I will try what you suggested and try to get the audio.

I tried ripping the audio as you suggested to no avail. Hissing like a MF


Screw it, I give up!

Thanks for the help

That's strange. It has a .wav extension to it after being decoded? I've worked with a few DVDs with only LPCM before and have never had a problem when extracting it as WAV.

Heres a couple pictures

Am I correct to assume that as long as I can play the vob's that everything up until that point was successful, right? It has to be something in the settings or it's just no going to work.
