Epsiodes Help!

andy

Guys,

I promise I've tried a search and couldn't find the answer I'm after.  I'm also unsure whether this is posted in the right part of the forum, please feel free to move, if needs be!

I am rippinng my DVD collection to my HTPC.  I'm about to tackle my wifes 'Sex amp; the City' discs.  How do I go about ripping epsiodes individually?  (I'm using DVD Decrypter amp; AutoGK)Thanks in Advance

You probably should've put it in Decrypting (and you definitely should've used a more descriptive title), but anyway: switch to IFO mode in DVD Decrypter, then you will see the individual episodes by length.  You'll have to rip them one at a time and rename the sub-folder with each episode, otherwise it'll overwrite the IFO.

Sorry amp; Thanks!

On the flip side of this......I've ripped them all individually but my wife thought it would be better if they were combined, is there an easy way to take 5 or 6 vobs and create one xvid with autogk??

Thanks
Stace

Well No, autogk needs IFO files as input, and vobs are ifo dependent [if you rename vobs  of different IFOs to the first IFO sequence i.e., VTS_01_0.IFO then u can't use autogk as it will take only first two VOBS into account, ]...
you can use GK  if you want to have a single file ..

I'd leave them separate. If they are combined then it makes it harder to find a specific episode (you can't just jump straight to it with the press of a button).

Try DVD Decrypter in File mode, and under Tools gt; Settings, File Mode tab set file splitting to None.  Re-rip the DVD and open it with DGIndex, which will allow you to scroll around more easily, and look at it - many episodic DVD's will rip the individual episodes into one large .vob in File mode.  I agree with previous comments, though, why would she want them in one file?  It only makes it difficult to find the beginning of a particular episode.
