![]() So, maybe best option for ripping is have a couple of good rippers and vlc. I know people will suggest others - biggest problem is that copyright protection on different films interferes with all the (free) ripping software that I have looked at. HOWEVER if you wan't more options and a proper rip (and if you have no problem with copyright protection preventing the rip) 'dvd::rip' is great software (look in repositories and use 'add/remove'). VLC is useful for ripping DVDs when you have problems ripping with other DVD rip software because, if you can play it in VLC you can rip it (because really it is streaming the data, not directly ripping it). For me this has worked all the way through the movie, but there have been reports for some movies of having to turn it on at every section! (if the subtitles are not the MAIN subtitle selections i.e english is usually fine). What you have to do is get to a point where all subtitles are available (usually where there is some speaking) and select the appropriate subtitles. If all the subtitles don't come up when you play it may be because all the subtitle streams are only available at certain points in the movie (this is a way movie is encoded, not something you've done). ![]() Well, if you are struggling with codecs maybe best to stick to MPEG4 TS, mp4v, mp3 selections.įor subtitles in VLC, choose select all 'elementary streams' at the bottom of the tab you get when you select to stream dvd. Is there anywhere I can confirm/download audio codecs from?Īlso lots of help on these pages. Will definately try mp1v and let you know. To test I did a recording of about 1 minute each time with no joy :( I have tried mp3 and possibly mp1v, honestly I think every possible codec. We appreciate you trying to help the newbs, but instructing them to do crazy, non-standards based transcodes just leads to frustration and confusion down the line. dvd::rip, acidrip, k9copy, and ogmrip are all available in the repositories and all provide easy GUIs for transcoding DVDs to standard file types and containers. There's even a list of dependencies in a bit later post after that instructional. If you search my user name and Handbrake you can find step by step instructions on how to check it out using svn and compile it. Handbrake can be compiled from source fairly easily and its wonderful for making H.264 mp4 files. Please, if you want to transcode a DVD, there are a ton of programs out there that can do it for you and do so in a standards based way. Of course, this is not for pirating DVDs, but for backing up your DVDs or playing on other devices (I am using it to stick 'family guy' episodes on data pen so I can watch them on my Eee PC :D) I'd say quality was slightly better with h264 even at same bit rate and with smaller file size.Thus, for high quality use h264 but go for much higher bit rate. The progress is shown by the advancement of the bar at the bottom of VLC.ģ0 minutes of DVD (1 GB) compressed to 167 MB using h264 at 1024 bit rate It is recommended not to select this, as it makes ripping faster. If you didn't click on 'play locally' on stream output tab previously you will not actually see the film as you are recording. We are recording by STREAMING therefore we are just recording whatever is there. if you want different audio or subtitles, you have to do this at this point by clicking on audio, or video in the VLC toolbar as it is recording. Set extra channels if there are more than 2 (stereo) audio channels (e.g. Alternatively you can use mp3, though this is not lossless. You can also try FLAC, though I couldn't get the sounds to play back. This is lossless compression (type of FLAC). You may want to increase bitrate from 1024, to 2048 or higher if you want v.high quality, though I find 1024 suitable for general useĩ. This is an excellent compression with good quality (though it is slower than e.g. mpg so that it is recognised as mpg file when you click on it. Name file and REMEMBER to give it extension. ![]() select file, then browse (where file is to be saved).

You may have to download additional codecs (mediubuntu) if you are new to VLC and haven't done so previously.Ĥ. Got a DVD you want to make into a file?
