DVD2AVI crashes

[abcdefg1675]

As soon as I go to file > save, and choose any compression (or even uncompressed), DVD2AVI makes the annoying DONK windows sound.

If I try again, DVD2AVI crashes.

I used to have this problem before, and somehow I figured out how to make it go. It usually did it on all dvds that I had ripped.

I feel that I am missing something, or doing something wrong. Here is a step-by-step list of what I am doing.

Ripped Futurama to my hard drive.
Opened up DVD2AVI, went to the futurama rip folder, and selected VTS_04_2.VOB.

Dvd2avi automatically added in VTS_04_1.VOB, which is the last 5 minutes of the episode. Ok. Good for it.

F5 to preview. Seems to be going. Hit escape

File > save > 11.avi >.... 2 seconds later "DONK".

F5... Preview. Hmm. hasnt froze or anything.

File > save > 1.avi... "DVD2AVI has had an unexpected error..."


:confused:

Basic questions -

Does this happen with any other DVD other than Futurama?
Which version of DVD2AVI? Have you tried the latest DGIndex? If not, do that and then report back.

DGIndex does not have the save AVI feature. You have to serve to VirtualDub via DGDecode.

Which version of DVD2AVI are you using?

1.77.4

I got it working today, only after running the .vob's through Vstrip.

But I just tried it again, and it makes the same error sound and crashes. I really dont know what is going on.

While I'd use some other tool than DVD2AVI for encoding to AVI, why don't you try DVD2AVI 1.9rc5 (http://arbor.ee.ntu.edu.tw/~jackeikuo/dvd2avi/) if you still want to use it for encoding? 1.77 is several years old if I'm not completely mistaken...

Well, I really dont know what to use or do.

I have all my .VOB's laying on the hard-drive, but when I try to encode to any format using nandub, the audio is out of alignment (I have a seperate thread (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=97719) about that).

First, its all fine and great for about 15 seconds. then it starts getting quite noticable. Also, nandub gives me a warning/error window when it loads the file, and has pages upon pages of "asyncronis timestamp error found at xxxxx". :confused:

anyways, Im getting frustraited and just aimlessly using any possible combination of programs I can find. I figure dvd2avi might fix any alignment issues.

I downloaded Dgindex and will try that tonight. Ive about had it with this "freeware" and I am nearly ready to just go out and buy some software that actually works (no offense to anyone here).

I downloaded Dgindex and will try that tonight. Don't bother. It's for people that know what they're doing. You'll just get more frustrated.

Try Auto GordianKnot.
