? how to backup anime/episodic dvd's

[RdRr777]

can anyone help a newbie on backingup anime/episodic dvd's
i tried using dvd2one and dvdx copy,but they both only choose one episode to backup....is there a program that will merge all episode to one so dvd2one can read just one vob.or is there any way to squeeze the whole dvd down....thanks in advance for any help on this topic..

hey,

right, first you need three new folders 1,2 and3, dvdecrypter,dvd2one102, ifoedit and ifoupdate.

i am assuming you have a episodic disc where all the episodes are in one set of vobs.

first rip the whole disc in file mode into folder 1, then take just the main vobs (not the 0.vob) and put them into folder 2.
now open ifoedit and press create ifo, in the new window make sure create 1 pgc only, create chapter for each cell and same as source are ticked then browse for the main vobs in folder 2 and select the first vob then press ok. once its finished it will have created new ifos for the vobs so you can use dvd2one to do all the episodes in one go.

next go back to folder 1 and calculate how much in mbs are left.
now open dvd2one and select folder 2, the destination folder 3, now where you type in how big in mb just under destination you will type 4472 minus what you calculated in folder 1 (take a little more of just incase), let dvd2one do its stuff.

once its finished take the vobs only out of folder 3 and put them in folder 1.

now its all back together again but the menu will be screwed up because of the encoding so you need to update the ifo.

open ifoupdate and in the first line find the corresponding ifo in folder 1 ( if the vobs where vts_01.x.vob then it will be 01.0.ifo), in line two find the ifo out of folder 3 and the last line is a back up of the original so i usually just put it in folder 3. make sure under the mode tab it is set to adjusted cell mode then press update ifo.

check through powerdvd or whatever you use that everything in folder 1 is fine, if ok make your VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS and put everything in folder one into your VIDEO_TS folder and burn.

hope this is clear, if not just reply.
