    Hi All, not sure if I'm in the right place. I want to convert DVD to AVI so I can upload for posting. I used DVD Decrypter and Vidomi. The source DVD has 4 separate episodes on it. When it was done, I had 4 AVI files but they were all the same, episode 1 on the DVD. Can someone help me out? Thanks!

    Use AutoGK to convert to .avi. Load the .ifo file for each title set separately and then you can batch encode the jobs all at once.

    Thanks ferguj1, I installed AutoGK and I am learning how to use it correctly. I havent seen any references to batch encoding multiple jobs though.

    I ran AutoGK on this DVD. There are 3 one hour episodes on it. Originally, I wanted to end up with a separate avi file for each. I got all 3 in one avi. I used VTS_01_0.IFO as my input file, audio as AC3 2ch. No subs, output file = 700MB. Output video quality is that of the DVD, but the audio is out of sync.

    Is VTS_01_0.IFO the 'master' IFO file, why it processed all 3 episodes? What is the fourth 1GB .VOB file? There are no extra frills on the DVD like other languages, angles etc.

    I looked through agk.log to see what the audio problem is but couldnt find anything. Maybe one of you guys can.

    It appears that all of your episodes are in a single title set, probable broke into chapters within.
    The .vob files really have no relation to the single episodes. They represent the entire title set broke into 1gb chunks.
    In regards to the synch issue, how did you rip the video to your HDD drive?

    I'm getting some odd out of sync issues with new disks as well.. currently investigating because it's only in the last couple of months it's been happening... Maybe they are referencing the audio differently these days with regard to the master frames? I do know you can auto set a dvd player (via the decryption instructions) to add/subtract a certain number of master frames to advance/delay the audio with respect to the video.. it's another "secret" area being used by the "standards compliant" dvd makers.
    If I come up with anything more I will report back.

    @ varnull
    I have had issues with some of the newer releases as well. Part of why I asked the OP how they did the initial rip.
    So far I only have problems when I try the full disk rips. Possibly something removed by decrypting or when I run VobBlanker and remove all the trash. Even trying to match frame rates or interleave has mixed results when I try to fix it.What I have been doing for the films I know that I plan to convert is ripping just the movie only. Thus far doing this has eliminated any sync issues encountered with the full disk rips.
    You are probably right in regards to it being some protection scheme :(

    ?? Where is your source file?
    If you are referring to the same files you posted the log from, how did you get them to your D: ?
    If you are using DVD Decrypter only and it is a newer release, does the files play properly before the conversion attempt, as DVD Decrypter is no longer updated and may have issue completing the rip properly.

    Funny you should mention that. After you asked how the DVD got ripped, I guessed the files need to be in the HDD first. Yes, the log was from that job, it wasnt just a sample. D:\ is my burner. So I ripped the DVD to HDD first with DVD Decrypter 3.5.4.0 and ran AutoGK on it and it came out fine, no sync or video problems. Guess thats why it says "newbie" next to my username =)
