hi all thank you for dropping in, now i just got dvd2one and i lead it to cdrom and it wont copy disc due to it being copyrighted? so i tryed to copy files to HD and it says cant read error? do i need to rip the files off the disc first with some prgram first? Help guys!! and any other tips to look out for would be great !! GRATS to Herbman for help! great guy! Thank you in advance...
herbsman bows Smartripper (free d/l on this site or http://www.doom9.org) This program not only rips but decrypts whilst it does so.
DVD2One DVD-R/RW 1 DISC I am making some assumptions here: 1 You have done a bit of this before, perhaps making VCDs from SmartRipper, DVD2AVI, TMPGEnc and Nero 2 You want a single DVD (not two, like DVDxCOPY and other methods) 3 You are not in the least bit interested in menus, extras and clips of the actors messing up their lines, as well as the music videos that clutter up many modern DVDs. 4 You have (and have used before) SmartRipper 5 You have full version of DVD2ONE 6 You have Nero I have tested this method with My DVD player in my PC (Pioneer A04), Phillips 622 and 722 and a Panasonic portable DVD. I have used DVD-RW from Pioneer and some generic (ie cheap!) DVD-RW and DVD-Rs and I have had (so far, touch wood) 100% success rates. Comments will be appreciated on this thread, but off topic will be deleted, as well as (as usual) any requests for where to get this software for free. Here we go. 1 Launch SmartRipper with your movie in the drive. If the files need unlocking with a software player, do it. 2 Select files button on SmartRipper. SmartRipper will select automatically only the .vob files for the main movie. They will probably look a little like this VTS_02_1 VTS_02_2 VTS_02_3 Etc. All should be 1GB except last one, which is almost always smaller. You will only need to select one more file, which will be an IFO file, which will have the same number as the VOB files that SmartRipper selected automatically. Based on the example above, this file would look like this : VTS_02_0 and be marked as IFO. Create the directory to rip the files to and click start. When ripping is finished launch DVD2ONE. Start the program, then select the directory into which you ripped the movie. Select the destination directoy (make a new empty one, DVD2ONE will make it for you if you type the path in next to the button) and hit the next button. Only one title should show up in the next screen, select it and hit next again. Check the boxes you want for audio and subtitles and hit Start. It is advisable to not use any other software during this process. After 15-60 minutes you will have finished the compression. Next you need to burn the movie. Open Nero and close the wizard. If the New Compilation window has not shown up, select New from the file menu, then select DVD-VIDEO icon, third down (usually) on the left handside. Leave all other settings alone. Click new and you should see the familiar Video type DVD directories on the left and your source directories on the right. Click the Video_TS folder on the left hand side (it should be red if you did this properly) and an empty window should show up next to it. Locate your compressed folder (not the one you ripped with SmartRipper, you can delete this!) and select all the files in order (just shift mouse click top to bottom) and move them over into that empty window in the middle. Insert blank DVD-R and click burn (8th icon from right on toolbar) and some hour or so later you will have a good quality DVD exactly the same size as your blank media, which plays automatically as soon as you put it in a standalone. Hope this is useful ------------------------------------------ supplied by [bold]loaded[/bold]

hi OK! i have started to the rip process and would like help on what i have done so far... 1, used smartripper left all settings alone it selected vobs! did i need to add anything manually? like IFO file or change IFO file as i see people use a program IFOedit.exe ?? why do i need this and whats it for? got files! 2, open DVD2one and ripped those to new folder! now the file sizes from smartripper folder and dvd2one folder are the same size? IS THIS CORRECT???? at 3.46 gig! 3, going to nero to see what that does back in a mo !!! ANY HELP GUYS ON THIS please... Rotary ;-])
hi ok got nero! and did i need to select that IFO file in smartripper ??? but nero only says vcd or svcd ??? no dvd-video! do i need nero express or something? i have it somewhere. I will stop here till HERBSMAN can come to my rescue! Thank you all!
hi ok, i dumped all files i made and start again now in smartripper it chose vobs VTS_02_1.VOB VTS_02_2.VOB VTS_02_3.VOB VTS_02_4.VOB NOW! the IFO is called this VTS_02_0.IFO BUT! there is another vob! VTS_02_0.VOB just like file name IFO ??? i selected IFO in the FILE tab button is this correct? ok ready to rip i think? ..................
hi Rotary, here is a link : http://www.dvdrhelp.com/nerodvd.htm for burning with nero (with pictures), make sure you have the latest version. Also here is a link for some good info: http://www.dvdrhelp.com/dvdripping
In Nero you want to cancel it . File,new compilation...which will bring up Nero Wizard. DVD Compile a new DVD Other DVD Formats DVD Video Peace
hi what about the extra vob that is the same file name as IFO file? and what is the ifo for what does it do and do i just leave it untouched? thx.
If under 4.36Gb DVD2One is not needed but in Smartripper you need to hit FILE then ALL so all boxes are ticked. Then burn using Nero. If over 4.37Gb then DVD2One needs to be used then, only take what files Smartripper chooses which will be the 4 biggest .VOB's (normally) but then you also need to tick the box 2 above the 4 .VOB's that were automatically ticked. Capiche? : )-~
hi all, GRATS TO: vukodlak & herbsman ! ok so the files are ok? but smartripper DIDNT CHOOSE THIS FILE! VTS_02_0.VOB which is like: VTS_02_0.IFO so do i manually click these? And you say about that .BOP file do i need that one manually clicked also? but what is confusing is this first inline vob that it didnt choose/ what would this be? and do i need it in the rip? Thx all still learning newbie ;-])
The only xtra file you need to highlight is the ifo that belongs with the highlighted vob's. Don't worry about that one that isn't highlighted. I didn't want to throw you off earlier but I personaly like dvdDeCryptor better.
HI i have that dvddecrpter and it has more thigs init it does look good is there any tutorials on this to show what all the settings are or do you just laeve all at default? i get the jist now about this coping. also do you know anything on dvd ps2 game ripping to CDR? i am stuck and learning about IMO and LBA tables would you know about theses? Thank you!
Sorry, I don't know anything about Games. But it seems that herbsman gave you a good link to start with. About the settings for DVD DeCryptor leave everything at default except in Tools->Settings->General make sure the "Remove Macrovision Protection" box is checked. Good Luck
