Erm, that would help if I had quoted the right post

I'd also like to remind you of a couple of ideas I had which would speed up the process for people that are encoding a lot. My ideas basically don't require the user to keep coming back to the PC after each stage.

pgc.net should allow a batch facility to rip multiple pgcs from multiple DVDs (or DVD folders on the hard drive). For example, I copy all 6 DVDs of the Sopranos series 1 to my hard drive, I then want to add all 13 episodes to the pgc.net list and hit go. Leave it for a while and let it do it's thing.

Index.net should have the option to also index subtitles. That way I can add all 13 episodes of sopranos to index.net, leave it to do it's thing and then the process of adding to avi.net is much quicker. I don't have to wait 13x3 mins for each episode to index the subs.

And then the obvious next step to these is to combine pgc.net and index.net so that I select the 13 pgcs from the 6 dvds on my hard drive. For each pgc, it rips, indexes, and indexes subs. So now I create my list, hit go, and when I come back, everything is ready for a quick avi.net session and then hit go again.

Thanks for the great app, keep it up.

Hi,

Just an information, in case you are not aware of that problem.

Trying to reinstall all the software, I get that problem: after downloading clone.AD.pak1.zip from RapidShare (and "Free user"), I was not able to dowload clone.AD.pak2.zip. I got the message "You have reached the download limit for free-users".
I had to wait a great bit of time in order to be able to get the second package.

Gerard

I tried again today, and your suggestion solves completely my installation problem with version 2.5.8.5:
"Installation ended prematurely because of an error".

Thanks!

Does AVI.net support XviD's VAQ now? I noticed you are using the version that supports VAQ, but does avi.net enable it?

Hi,
I've been using avi.net recently to rip some episode DVDs (could really use that extra batching functionality)

In these particular DVDs, all 4 episodes on the disk are under the same VTS number in pgc.net. (VTS_03) on the one i'm looking at now.
When I rip the first episode, I get two files:
VTS_03_PGC_01_0.IFO
VTS_03_PGC_01_1.VOB
For ripped the next episode to the same directory.
this gives me one new file
VTS_03_PGC_02_1.VOB

I'm not sure what determines if there should be an IFO file or not. However, when it comes to extracting subs for these files, it looks like the ifo is needed. In my case, I only got the option of extracting subs for the first episode of each DVD.

I've done a bit of searching and found that I can run VobSub Configure and rip the subs from the original DVD by hand.
If I had ripped each episode to a separate directory, I think I would have been fine.

Anyway, if anyone has an idea on a quick way to rip subs for all episodes that would be great.

As ever, Thanks for the great apps.

I don't have a solution for you as I don't really mess with subs, but it appears the tool creates one IFO per VTS folder, ie the first number in your VTS entry - "VTS_03_...", when that differs you'll get different IFO's in the same directory. I'm sure you're correct that ripping to diff folders will work too -- I wonder if the IFO generated would be different at all though, could it possibly be renamed/edited and reused for all the other VOB files? I don't know myself, just throwing that out there. Maybe a simple tool/script could be written to take the first IFO and recreate one for all the other VOBs from the same VTS folder. Just thinking out loud here.

undersized VAQ encodings

Maybe it is a dumb question but why VAQ encodings (2-pass) are soooo undersized? I installed XviD 1.22 compiled by alexins (downloaded from here http://www.xvidvideo.ru/content/view/774/1/) and all 2-pass encodings are terribly undersized.
I made a test with "The Killing Fields" and the video stream is around five times smaller than the non VAQ (both settings - 2040 megabytes, 2-pass).

OK. Just wondering because FairUse Wizard gives correct results with the same codec.

Advanced Encoding Mode (HQ)

Maybe the question is dumb. I have googled pretty much lately but I cannot find an explanation what the mode (HQ) actually does. Can anyone explain it to me?

Thanks for the update

Any plans to support h264 in future versions with the same philosophy that this program has (SAP compatability)?

OK, I updated and the option to index subtitles is disabled (not able to click the drop down). Anyone else?

edit: I reverted to v2.6.5 and am able to index subtitles.

Thanks for the new version, looks good.

I have the greyed out subtitle combo aswell. But didn't think much to it as the DVD i've encoded doesn't have subtitles.

I'll try a different DVD later and see what happens.
