is there a guide for converting tv season dvds to xvid

[dead]

after I have ripped my tv season dvd, how would I convert it to xvid?

Just follow this guide: http://www.doom9.org/index.html?/autogk.htm

That's fine, nightrhyme, but most "episode" DVDs have multiple Program Chains (PGCs). Each episode must be ripped and encoded separately, selecting the appropriate PGC (episode) each time.

The new IFO parser makes encoding TV seasons off DVD a little more irritating. Would it be possible to add the IFO parser enable/disable into the secret control panel? That way when encoding movies or single PGC's, those that like the feature can use it, and if using a dvd with multiple PGC's, we can turn it off.

A DVD has 10 episodes, I ripped each ep to its own dir, then every time I select a dir with an ep I also have to choose the correct PGC. Thats the irritating part.

If names of vobs contain pgc number (as it should if you use proper ripper with proper options) AutoGK won't ask you for them.

I have the same problem as the original poster, with the extra PGC menu. What rippers support that VOB naming scheme? Obviously DVD Decryptor doesn't...

What I would ideally like to do is to rip the entire DVD, feed the whole thing into AutoGK, and tell it to rip PGCs 3-7 (or whatever) at a given size, audio settings, and so on. Is that possible now you have IFO parsing? It messes the AutoGK window up though, because you need multiple output filenames. Hmm, I dunno.

try tools/settings/ifo mode/'file names' in dvd decrypter...
