    i heard someone on the boards say that htey used DVDx to copy DVD's to Xvid/Divx format. I just downloaded it, anyways, usually when i convert DVD --> Xvid it takes all night, this program says 15 minutes remaining. Anyone use this program? does it produce good results?
    Thanks

    Chris.

    To backup your DVD to MPEG4 AVI (DivX/XviD) use GordianKnot
    http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gordianknot/GordianKnot.RipPack.0.32.beta.Setup.exe?
    It won't take all night but an average PC should be able to encode @ 20-30fps or approx real-time, in other words a 2hr film could take around 2hrs x 2 or 3 passes.
    Yes I do triple-pass rips! And, I do let it run overnight.
    But I've gotta have the very best quality audio and video that can possibly fit into 700MB.
    Regards

    Hmmm... I use this program too for transcoding (i rip using DVD Decrypter). However, I use the Keopi build of Xvid. What's the dif between the two builds :-?

    thx in adv.

    Enjoy!

    Ripping & transcoding with DVDx is pretty simple but the standard rip gives u a stereo or a joint stereo output. But it's much kewler to have a 5.1 channel output, but no ones seems to be willing to divulge this information as to how dyu get a Ac3 out using DVD Decrypter (DVDx provides for muxing the AC3 with the vdo, so u could disable the audio while transcoding and include the Ac3 file for muxing with the Vdo)

    Hope this helps!
    njoy!

    With which codec you do a triple-pass encoding?
    It is possible with XviD?

    :p

    so yes if the source is 5.1 it will be in 5.1, its a lossless process. unlike decoding to wav(loss when you want to encode it into mp3 etc)

    dvd always have multiple channel audio, so you can demux all and check which one.

    Debbs are you de-muxing your audio into separate AC3 file yet? I use SmartRipper 2.41
    AC3 is great; nice pre-compressed soundtrack (handy).
    When de-compressed into WAV it is of course much bigger.
    I encode with DivX 5.1.1 Pro (purchased).
