Would anyone who knows how to rip movies like to help? Now, using dvd dycrypter, I've made a few rips, and using ps3 video 9, I've managed to compress them and work them on my ps3 (works fine on pc as well-from 5gb to 2gb most ) but one movie has given me hell... Alie vs predator, it has 3 cells (I choose just one) and with the resulting VOB file, it plays fine...but at 5gb I don't want that... But when converted, the file is 178mb worth of audio and a grey screen! I find this odd since avp2 was a straight rip...anyone like to help?
Magic DVD Ripper is a very nice ripper. DVDFab does a pretty good job as well. Or you can rip the vob file into a single file with DVDShrink, then convert that with your favorite encoder.
Hrm...I heard of those... But what I don't get, is dvd dycrpter does a fine VOB file, plays fine, it's after conversion with ps3 video 9 (which compresses it) that I loose video, but retain audio... It's the only one to give me trouble.
Weird. Have you tried a different encoder? Youtube downloader has really good video and audio after conversion. http://download.cnet.com/YouTube-Downloader/3000-2071_4-10647340.html
...how does that work exactly? Remember, I'm using VOB files, not youtube links (the red kawa range has converters for everything, psp, ps3, ipod and mine came with a youtube downloader...converts vids only from youtube though)
No. It converts anything. I use it all the time to convert vob movies. It is a youtube video downloader, but also has an option for encoding video. Even vob.
