sdctlc 0 #1 December 31, 2009 Not 100% related to skydiving but throught an answer might pop up out of this group... I am having sporadic success with the conversion step after decrypting. Some work great others partially work ... Currently using on a suggestion DVD Decrypter to pull the VOB files off the DVD ---then Wisoft Converter to stitch the VOB to a MPEG4 for my Portable device (Zune that was a gift) Mostly the DVD Decrypter works great with an occasional glitch on some high security movies, i.e. Casino Royale. Where the glitch comes into play is that I sometimes run into issues with iWisoft Video Converter not correctly seeing all the VOB files correctly. I can go directly from the VOB files and preview them on my computer as a complete section as well as being able to see the full length and file size of the VOB section file. Sometimes when a group of VOB files is brought into the converter program 1 might come up as 0 length and 0 for estimated size. Figured it was something to do with pulling all in at once but same result with pulling in only that file. Again the VOB is good as I can preview the whole section as a VOB Any ideas on this? Any suggestions for pulling the DVD to a MPEG4 format or a better converter for multiple VOBs to complete MPEG then the Wisoft converter??? Scott"He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"

DSE 3 #2 December 31, 2009 Vegas and Production Assistant.We output daily for iPod/podcasts, and I occasionally rip movies for my iPod. There are tools like Handbrake that do this in one step too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sdctlc 0 #4 December 31, 2009 Does Handbrake work well with the newer DVDs that seem to have a bunch of security on them? I will look into it, thanks for the input.. Need to get some more movies on the Zune thingy for my travels next week.. Scott C. Just looked and it looks to be Mac?? I just searched Handbrake and Mac stuff came up.. I will look a bit more though.. "He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSE 3 #5 December 31, 2009 Handbrake for PC works as well as any decrytor/ripper without jumping through a lot of hoops. It doesn't rip BD, and doesn't decrypt any but the most basic DVDs. They'd not be able to use GPL if they were breaking DMCA. But...there are a LOT of third-party tools that can extract the VOB file from the decryption, feed the decrypted VOB's into HB, or onto the Vegas timeline, and stitch away.
