this might be a dumb question for some, and I have had a look around the forum, but cant seem to locate an answer. what i would like to do is backup my DVD's to MPEG's to use rather than the origional. (have a few movies on each DVD) I have looked at a few software items to vonvert them, but there are several .VOB files. (i know i can use DVD shrink to rip just the main movie, but it is still several .VOB files) wouldnt that give me several .MPEG files rather than just 1 .MPEG? all i want to do is get the mail movie down to arounf 700 -800 meg, depending on length of movie.
have tried that one ZoSoIV, but it only can shrink the dvd, (like dvd shrink) i want to get it to an mpeg (or divx) of around 800 meg. and keep suround sound
heres what dvdfab platinum list it will do, will this not work for you? Convert DVD title to MPEG-4/DivX/XVID/H.264 AVI/MP4 file, which can be played on PC http://www.dvdfab.com/dvd-fab-platinum.htm
ahhh ok, where it said 'DVD to Mobile' i was thinking of how some people watch a movie in their phone. so giving it a tryout now, so hope it works though i want to be able to watch it in the lounge, not on the computer. (yes, my DVD can play .MPEG's and .AVI's)
you can transfer to MPEG-4/DivX/XVID/H.264 AVI/MP4 file then burn to DVD and watch it on a dvd player that supports playing thoses kind of files
ok, thanks ZoSoIV, going through the prosess now. i selected the 2 pass method as it says this is better quality, though takes a lot longer. can you tell me if it makes a lot of diferance, or is it just wasting time? ta
depends on how much compression the files needs? the more compression i would use more passes and depends on what your playing it back on/ watching it on. a 31" CRT going to look alot better/different than a Sony SXRD 60" on high compressed files
well, it converted it ok, but it was hopeless... the sync was miles out and it had the subtitles there
