Hello guys...

I have a problem. I have a DVD with 2 sided... one is labled A and the other is labled B...

My question is now... how can I rip this DVD and make ONE 700MB DivX File? Ripping a one side DVD is no problem but a two side DVD?!?!

There are several methodologies for content spread across multiple discs or multiple sides.

Appending in DVD2AVI/DGIndex appears obvious, but it is not effective, since the sound delay varies between the last VOB of disc A, and the first VOB of disc B. This means that sound will likely not be in sync for your second half.

You will also need to remove any trailing/heading content that was added during authoring to assist with the disc change, such as a "switch to disc B" message. This is best done during decryption, by eliminating the cells/chapters containing such footage.

Easy method: Use VobEdit and its "Join Clip" command to append your vob sets after decrypting your PGCs. You'll need plenty of hard disk space.

Difficult method: Demux both soundtracks, convert to .wav, and use AviSynth to join both clips and keep audio in sync. See http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=75808, and also see http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&postid=433185.
