Convert DVD to MPG ???
-
I know this has been asked before, but none of the responses I can find, help. I want to convert a couple of DVDs to MPG, for my portable media player. I can buy them both as mpeg from Amazon for $30, so I'm not looking to spend a lot of money on a converter. The cheapest one I've found that doesn't have audio sync problems, is $35. All the ones I've downloaded that claim to be free, rip up to 5 min and cost > $60. What do other people use ? Note: I don't want to copy VOB files, I want to create an MPG or WMV.

I was going to suggest Dr. Divx 2.0, but that only spits out AVIs. But it is very good at taking multiple VOB inputs at once.
Found on Bash.org [erno] hm. I've lost a machine.. literally _lost_. it responds to ping, it works completely, I just can't figure out where in my apartment it is.

What do you know ? It plays DivX 4 and 5, also. Do you have a link ? (Don't worry - found it)

If it's WMV you want, try Windows Media Encoder[^]. You have to first rip the DVD using something like DVDFab Decrypter[^], and then use Windows Media Encoder's Convert File project type to convert the resulting VOBs to WMV. VOB is not in the set of file extensions listed in the file dialog, so you have to type "*.*" in the filename textbox and press Enter for the VOB files to show up - but I tried it and it did convert the files.

I have a question - why don't I have any audio in my file ?

Thanks - my DivX files have no sound, so I may try that, instead.

Handbrake[^] is pretty freaking awesome. It's what I use to rip DVDs to iPod format. But I bet you it'll rip 'em to normal MPEG as well. If not, then I'd use VLC[^], cause VLC will definitely rip to WMV for Zune[^]. If you care about quality, though, I'd use Handbrake, seeing as how it's a two-pass converter (or can be, if you tell it to) and VLC is one-pass.
We are certainly uncertain at least I'm pretty sure I am...

You probably need to install the AC3 Filter to get the audio out of the VOBs. http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=66022&package_id=63808[^]

Have you tried using VLC to convert videos? I've tried maybe a dozen times over the years, and not one single time has VLC produced a working video. :| I just tried the command line on the WMV for Zune page, and the Zune software chokes on the resulting video and says it can't convert it.

Yeah. Works all the time for me. I've dumped stuff onto my iPod several times from VLC.

You don't need to buy any software to do this. All the following are free. DVDDecrypter to rip the VOBs from the DVD. ProjectX to demux the VOB files. Imago MPEG Muxer to remux the files to MPEG2. They can all be found at videohelp.com.

When you successfully decrypt the DVDs you can use Super Video Converter[^] to convert the VOB files to any format that you so choose so that it is compatible with your media player.

I Use Magic DVD Ripper. www.magicdvdripper.com It cost $35.00, but the demo will rip the entire disk, You get a limited number of times to run the program, so don't close the program until you have completed all your disks. It also rips portions of the dvd if you just want to capture a certain part. Skip

This is the best I've come across: http://www.erightsoft.net/S6Kg1.html[^] You'll need dyddecrypter or dvdfab (both eminently googl-able) to decrypt the DVDs to disk, though, whatever you use.

Have you tried handbrake? It's really great and free.. http://handbrake.m0k.org/
