Help!
i'm totally new to the encoding thing, but i am relativly competent at following guides and the like. My problem is this....i am ripping a dvd for my sister so she can watch it on her laptop that doesn't have a dvd drive
when the encode is finished, i notice that the audio seems to "skip" or choke or something...closest i can come to really discribing it is a hiccup or a trip.
Movies run fine on the system, so i know the problem is in the encoding. When i do an encode, i make sure nothing else is runnig on the system besides DVDx, explorer, and systray. I'm totally lost as to why i'm getting this sound problem. it normally doesn't start till about 30 seconds into the film. I've been trying multiple ways of encoding this thing, messed with all the settings i could find documents on, consulted multiple sources of settings to find an average of the "best" settings, used the bit-rate calculator to determine that, so on and so forth.
my goal is to be able to do a 1- or 2-step dvd rip, primarily good with anime films. DVDx lends itself nicely towards this goal, but i can't seem to get this right yet....i'm driving myself nuts i think.
please note: just because i tweaked out all the settings doesn't nessescerily mean i know what exactly they do, or why they are set that way. I processed a lot of info when i started having problems encoding this thing, and these are the settings that came up the most for encoding anime films.
*On a side note, i found that when doing 2-pass mode, the whole move wasn't encoded using the "Whole Movie" option....it cut the film off about 10 minutes from being finished...so i added 10 minutes to the time to try and get around that...anyone have a better solution?
thank you!
