Title: An off the wall topic With DivX
Post by: smyrna on November 09, 2004, 02:29:20 PM
Once againg i am posting a off the wall question that i have and wherever a better place than this site. It really does rock im on evry day to see if something new is around. This is one site i would donate to if i ever see a link for it. Well here i go...


I travel a lot with work and love to take my DivX files on the road. i also purchace a lot of TV shows on DVD. when i want to encode them i use dvd shink to separate the Title\'s/Episodes e.g. Title 1= Episode 1 and so on but this is very time consuming. What i am getting at is there a program or way i have not figured out to make a VOB for every title so that i can start encoding much quicker. I am figuring that it is a big no but just thought this would be a good place to ask?

A big no?
Well as long as its not a boot leg,we dont cair.Now best I can say,but I am sure afonic will have something better,would be that any DVD to AVI is slow. Heck I can rip a 2.5hour DVD to my hdd within 45min,and I can brun back to dvd within 20min.
But going to DVD to AVI, lol, that takes some time, their is no quick was, compressing all that data into something that small. Its painstakeing.
I am guessing that you maby own a laptop,or maby a pocket pc? If a laptop,I\'d just say,copy the dvds and take em with ya. If its a pocket pc, humm, plan ahead,lol I am going to be buying one this month, so I\'ll have to see. Maby get a external laptop hdd for it :P

Tools wise,thier is WinAVI,thats an amazeing app,you can find in our download section.
DVDx is alos very sweet.And works well.

And then their is my lazy ass way. I just RiP the DVD with shrink, open vdub mod,convert to avi.Then open vdob, and convert to divx. Haft the rez,but hatf the convert time. :unsure:

Im an IT manager so I own a lot of equipment 3 laptops,4  Desktops, 2 Servers and plenty of portable storage on which i carry my whole 100+ dvd owned DVD Collection in DivX format for travel on a portable 250 GB. I also encode larger than usual DivX files 1.3-1.6GB which dont take as long to compress.  :blink:

But i don\'t think you got the right understanding of my question i know encoding to avi takes time but i bought Dr. Divx and I batch encode while i am slpeeping the (very which is the reason i bought it).  

I\'m looking for a quicker way to split the 4-5 Vob files in to the 7 titles/episodes in a quicker fasion other than re-autoring 7 dvd\'s that are 800 meg VOB\'s (after shink gets thru with them) that never get burned all i do is encode them in to 7 AVI\'s for easy portability..

Well if I understood you want to reauthor the dvd so that each vob is an episode.

Well techically is can be done, but practically no, it will take you much more time to do (as there is not program that will do it automatically) plus the DVD rebuild and the extra space you need, you better use DivX program to split the episodes to DivX files. Btw, have a look in FairUse! (http://www.fairusewizard.com/)  ;)
