DVD2DVD rips dvd, demuxes, encodes, and muxes all after clicking Start.
Requirements: CCE (recommended) or TMPGEnc for encoding, 30GB of free disc space, a fast computer. Note: this guide covers DVD to DVD±R conversion only, not SVCD or VCD.

You can have DVD2DVD rip your DVD for you with either Internal Routines or Vstrip or DVDDecrypter with a plugin. Other options include ripping ALL files to your harddrive with DVDDecrypter, rip to an .iso and mount with daemon tools, etc.

Input file type DVD
Output file type DVD


Click Default output folder and Set folder structure. I like to do this as all your files not all in one directory. If you don't wish to do this at least specify a Subs folder as there are thousands of sub files extracted.

Scenarist 2.6 or 2.7 is required to mux the video project files.
Set the path to your scenarist executable
C:\Program Files\Sonic\Scenarist\scenarist.exe
CD Label (aka DVD Label) shows in windows explorer. Use _ to separate words.

If you wish to rip subtitles check Rip subtitles
You don't need to specify any subtitle languages but if you do and they're present on the DVD then it'll automatically select them. You can also manually select them right after you press Rip and Convert and the subtitle selection dialog comes up.

CCE Basic $58 you can do 2 pass VBR. I like 3 passes especially with DVD bitrates.


4480MB works great for me and I burn on DVD+R.
Blank DVD-R 4,489MB 4,706,074,624 bytes or 4.383GB
Blank DVD+R 4,483MB 4,700,372,992 bytes or 4.377GB


Bilinear is default. No resizing is necessary..this will change soon I suspect.


Keep AC3 (5.1 Dolby Digital) and/or DTS. Audio 1 and 2 Priority just select the default audio shown in the Conversion TAB. You can also specify which audio stream(s) you wish manaully.


Keep all defaults. It automatically detects which encoding settings should be used.


If you ripped to an .iso deactivate ripping, otherwise, activate ripping. If you deselect Select new default folder when ripping starts then Rip to folder can be specified. This is ONLY where the ripped vobs will be stored and you must specify under MISC tab the default output folder.


--Click Greeen arrow and chose Rip and Convert to begin
--If your ripping subtitles waiting a few seconds for the subtitle selection dialog to show up or if you chose to edit your Avisynth script.
--After many hours of processing you'll have about 4.37GB of video files ready to burn with your favorite burn app. You can preview these files with PowerDVD, etc.

Another burning option is: Double click DiscImage.dvd (4.37GB iso image) click burn button in DVDDecrypter. How to associate .dvd file extension in DVDDecrypter.

If you wish to preview DiscImage.dvd with PowerDVD to test quality before burning, mount it with daemon-tools by choosing Files of type: All Files (*.*) and locate DiscImage.dvd.

HISTORY:
31 august 2004 version 1.2.2 build 3

- Bug fix: Well, the "Do not convert audio (use source audio)" didn't work when doing AVI files with AC3 audio, funny thing is that it should have worked because that's why I made it.
- Change: I have downgrade BeSweet to a former version. The latest version was a tad unstable in some scenarios

23 august 2004 version 1.2.2 build 2

- New feature: I have added support for Nic's QuEnc. Now DVD2SVCD can be run with freeware programs only if you want to :). However QuEnc is still in it's infancy and it is based on ffMPEG which have problems maintaing the Average bitrate when using VBR. Many promises has been made by the developer(s) of ffMPEG to fix this, but they never gets around to it, hint hint :)
- Bug fix: Using fixed chapters with scenarist wasn't too cool. The chapters were not sequential.
- Enhancement: If you're converting AVI of DVB files you can select the audio language (instead of using unspecified)
- Bug fix: The SmartDeinterlace And Blendfields Interlace options are working again (Bach)
- Bug fix: The GOP Sizes is not locked when using DVDAuthor (Only scenarist has this stupid limitation) (Bach)
- Bug fix: The CD Sizes in the frame selection window now matches those in the bitrate tab. (DDogg)
- Bug fix: When selecting "Keep interlaced" Anamorphic output wouldn't work (alas the 16:9 flag would not be set) when using CCE.
- Enhancement: Added support for Donald Grafts (neuron2) DVD2AVIdg version (Thanks :)
- Bug fix: Quite a few AVI files didn't work right with the internal audio extraction. (DDogg)
- Bug fix: Fixed the AVI resize calculations. (jsoto and nick)
- Bug fix: If a subtitle stream had an unspecified language the subs would be extracted completely black (bobwillis)
- Bug fix: When doing NTSC dvd2dvd with Scenarist the subtitles could sometimes overlap, causing scenarist to fail (bobwillis)
- Bug fix: If you had used MPEG5.1 audio output and then on a later encode switched to "Do not convert audio" the MPEG5.1 program would still be run and thus later on the muxer would fail. (Mascot28)
- Bug fix: The Bilinear avisynth script was wrong (addborder was missing) when doing a clean installation of dvd2svcd (DDogg)
- Bug fix: If you were using DirectShowSource as your AVI reader in avisynth, dvd2svcd could fail with a file not open if you had been in preview first. This was due to a minor bug in directshowsource.dll. Thanks to sh0dan for fixing this so fast :)
- Enhancement: You can now select "Do not convert audio" when doing AVI2x. But be aware that you're on your own if you use it. If you get any errors during the process deselect "do not convert audio"
