sorry for the wrong forum


what's about DivX 6.8.4.7 can rip and encode?
DARcode
Unless they've added ripping capabilities to the latest releases DivX can only convert.

Also, unless you need to convert HD material I'd go with XviD which is also free.

Anyway, you need a DVD ripping tool which decrypts too, the most popular are DVDFab and AnyDVD, Google'em up.

DVDFab with Mobile Option is the all-in-one solution you were looking for, handles it all and is pretty straight forward.

You may find this XviD encoding guide I wrote some months ago helpful. It will turn out much better looking results than the more conventional approach taken with DivX and the resultant files are still DivX-compatible. I've slightly re-jigged the post just now to make it more of a general guide than specific to the original questioner.

The vast majority of guides for DivX or XviD suggest the use of CBR encoding and this is blatantly wrong when you look at the enormous quality advantage offered by VBR encoding (more commonly known as CQ-mode when video encoding). My settings configure XviD to work in CQ-mode and will return significant quality advantages although the final filesize will be slightly unpredictable.

Feel free to ask any questions either here or there if you decide to take this route. DVDShrink will still decrypt the majority of commercial DVDs and this will need to be done first in most cases to provide an unencrypted VOB for Vidomi to use. Many guides already exist for the correct usage of DVDShrink. Google is probably your best friend in this area. smile.gif

thanks
really appreciate your help
by the way , because my dvd are original ,which is the more fast engine to encode to divx?
Slipstreem
You're welcome!

DVDShrink seems to offer the fastest method of VOB decryption and extraction when compared to other freely available options although there will be some newer DVDs that it can't break the encryption on. You'll be given an early warning of this, so not much time will be wasted by trying DVDShrink for this part of the process first.

I haven't done any serious experimenting with DivX lately to be honest, but XviD was often much faster than DivX when I compared the two in the past. Bearing in mind that you'll only be encodng the once per movie but potentially watching many times, the time taken to encode is only a one-off penalty per movie. I'd be inclined to go with whichever gave me the best image quality rather than the quickest encoding time personally.

I can give you a clue as to the speed of Vidomi though. On my 3GHz Intel C2D PC, a typical 16:9 movie will transcode at between 3 times and 4 times real-time. In other words, a 90-minute movie can transcode in less than 25 minutes. smile.gif

I'm unfraid that's incorrect, anyway DVDFab used in Decrypter mode (http://www.dvdfab.com/free.htm) is free.

I would recommend DVD Shrink or DVD Decrypter for decryption, use Shrink in the Re-author mode and select no compression for double layer discs. As for DivX, use the freely available Dr. DivX in conjunction with the official DivX encoder.

By the way, DivX.com offers free players for Symbian and Windows Mobile devices. To encode for mobile playback select the "Mobile" encoder profile.

I use DVDShrink in re-author mode, with no compression, to create "DVD files" that I can then use DVD Rebuilder to shrink to DVD-5 and/or MeGUI to create a DGIndex project, AviSynth script, and finally an XviD movie. I use foobar to create MP3 audio from the audio extracted by DGIndex, and MeGUI again to mux.

I will sometimes use MeGUI to create MP4 files; however I also have a DVD player that will play DivX/XviD, so I tend to stick with AVI.

The only DVD I have seen that DVDShrink has had a problem with is Curse of The Golden Flower. I know there are more, I guess I've just been lucky. I used DVDFab for that one.

By the way i mean divx avi files about 700mb for movie or 350 for a episode of my dvd box

It's constantly updated too, you'll rarely came across a disc it won't handle.

Both outdated, both not developed anymore and both not capable to handle today's discs, try with a Sony one for example.

Lucky me, there is little amount of encrypted DVDs in Russia tongue.gif . I even see unencrypted licensed DVD releases from major labels.

On the other hand, I get terrified by some official translations and/or dubbing, and it sometimes hard to find that given DVD with audio track in English.

I realise that DVDShrink is outdated, but I was suggesting it as a possible free solution that may work with the particular discs that francesco wishes to decrypt. As I said in my earlier post, an early warning will be given if DVDShrink can't handle it. Very little time will be wasted by at least trying. I have come across some recent DVDs that it won't work with, but it still works with the majority here in the UK. Surely it's worth trying a free solution first rather than spending money for the sake of it.

A decryptor either works or it doesn't when it comes to decrypting VOBs for a task like this. A paid for version won't make a better job of decrypting than a free one if the free one works with the DVDs in question. smile.gif

thanks for the answer
in the install , there is an option , add addictional tasks
install VSO Burning engine

is necessary, indispensable for the rip ?
and in the case i buy the full product , is necessary, indispensable to burn dvd or can i use the ripper or DVDFab Platinum without the vso burning engine?

Oh my, they are not dead, just give 'em a try! They still do decrypt (re-author, demux) DVDs, just try yours.
DARcode
Guys, DVDFab Decrypter, a mode which can be activated during install, is completely free, so yes: a free decrypter constantly updated exists and that's it.

The VSO burning engine is useless unless you want to write discs with DVDFab.

DVD Shrink and DVD Decrypter are no longer updated, so in terms of development both are dead, course they can still work on discs with outdated protection.
Egor
By the way, only DVDFab 5.1.2.2 HD Decrypter could read "The Dark Knight" DVD (two disc special edition, Region 5, Russia).

DVD Decrypter, DVD Shrink and the previous version of DVDFab start to consume more and more RAM on initial disc read.
