Just by reading the disk you will see your storage folders with DVD::Rip
have a vob folder and a avi folder So when the disk is read the vob goes
into the project vob folder and that is the disk to read from for the
DVD FOLDER
Anyway it has never actually completed, will jam up at around 75% and
when I stop the process and look in the folder that the data gets saved
to is does complete as the full data is there.
Very weird.
OGMRip does work great but it takes forever.
I have a Phenom 2 965 @ 3.6 and so far from an iso image to avi has
taken 3.5 hours and is still not completed.
I was reading about handbrake and apparently if I can change the codec
from ffmpeg to another codec (not sure what one yet) it will handle avi
files as output.
The reason I use it so often is it is fast and I output to H.264 mkv so
it's perfect for me. Converting for standalone players is another matter
altogether.
I have got the knack for avidemux and it works fast as well.
I would like to see a one shoe fits all type of program like DVD FAB for
a linux based machine.
DVD decrypter works for linux but it is limited and is there just to
break copy protection and gives you a dvd folder or iso image.
See if you have the same problem with DVD::Rip?
I will post if I find out how to get Handbrake to work with avi output
as I think it's just about the fastest for conversion.
Cheers
Michael
