Encoding multi-episode DVD's

[garyevs]

Hi

I have some DVD's with a few episodes of TV shows on each if them. I want to convert each episode into a seperate AVI or DivX file.

I have ripped the DVD, and tried using DrDivX, which didn't work.

Is there a better way to perform this conversion?

Cheers.

Hi-

When using DVDDecrypter, did you set it for IFO Mode, and then decrypt each episode to a separate folder, as you should have?

You didn't give much information about why Dr. DivX didn't work, but if you're having trouble with it, you could always give AutoGK a try.

Hi

Thanks for the reply.

When I originally ripped the DVD, I used the "File" mode in DVD decrypter, saving them all in the same directory. I think that is what confused DrDivX a little.

I re-ripped the files using the "IFO" mode, ripping the episodes to different folders and DrDivX worked fine.

Thanks again for your help, it was much appreciated.

Cheers

Sure, glad to oblige. Back when AVI was king, the default was IFO Mode. Now the developer has changed the default to File Mode, as that's the way most of the DVD to DVDR backup guys use it. If you don't know that, and don't change it back to IFO Mode, it'll mess up in a number of programs.
