Hello all. I am new to the ripping.burning world and already have one coaster on my belt. Now i have been using Dvdcrypter. I followed the instructions and used the buffer underrun protection. In about 55% done it failed. Also I have a dvd+r/rw.

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

Smartripper is a free d/l (need this to rip/unencrypt to HDD)

DVD2One is an excellent piece of software and worth purchasing in my opinion (http://www.dvd2one.com) OR there's DVD Shrink (free d/l). They both compress a DVD-9 DVD from more than 4.37Gb to 4.36Gb so as to fit on a DVD-R/DVD+R.

Nero [or other burning prog]

robbierob · Apr 15, 2003

dam man i thought we would be able to do just like a rip and copy thing. So I am going to try the SmartRipper/Nero method and try to actually finnish this Spiderman back-up.

ps. 2 coasters on my belt so far..

robbierob · Apr 15, 2003

ok i just tried to rip the spiderman disk using smartripper (file - select all) and its like 7.3 gb. I now have to do the compression right with dvd2one and then burn with nero?

thanks

herbsman · Apr 15, 2003

If the film is that big , you wanna just take the movie only in Smartripper boss...

Then you'll find that you've got 5Gb or so to run through DVD2One
But your getting there m8

herbsman · Apr 15, 2003

Follow my DVD-9 guide above.

DVD-9 (Over 4.37Gb...dual layered)

DVD-5 (Under 4.37Gb)

robbierob · Apr 15, 2003

thanks.. I am getting there. I just got the DVD2One. Going to try it out and then report back. I am going the route this time because i just want to get a feel for the ripping and burning. I will try the Full dvd back-up in the near future.
