Don't use TMPEGnc use DVD2AVI its much better and dumexes all
the avalible tracks in ac3 format. Stick to it!

Ok...

It's just that I heard alot about TMPEGnc. but the d**n thing is that it's confusing to me, a little more technical than I can handle.
Stickin' to it...you bet. No quit here.

Talk at ya later.....

Eventually i've worked with dvd2avi quite a long time and found good exept for the interalcing thing but lets not go to more detail for now.

TMGEnc is good aswell but i see it that can handle better mpeg1-2
formats.

Is there some way you can help me in obtaining some type of guide for the TMPEGnc software? I'm pretty sure with your knowledge, you may be a memeber of forums or know where I can get one at. I'ver looked around but maybe I just didn't look in the right spots. If you want to send me a PM with some info, that'll be cool. Hell...I'll give my email address...I have no problems with that where it comes to rapping with you.
You're like my mentor...man!

When using the TMPGEnc software go to HELP menu and the sub-menu of CONTENTS.

My suggestion (get on with mpeg4)

Does anyone know how to combine a two disc feature's "main movie" together and resplit them
to allow equal compression on both discs?

Example: I have a feature that is on two discs. The main movie of disc one is about 2:35 minutes in
length, and to back up this disc's "main movie" requires approximately 40% compression...on the other hand, the remaining movie on disc 2 is about 85 minutes and requires no compression during the back up procedure. Needless to say..."the quality between the two, differ!"

What I would like to know is...Is it possible to back up both sections of the main movie together, combining them
during the back up procedure, and making it possible to resplit the "main movie" 50-50, for equal compression?

Thank you for any responses...

This sounds basically like the DVD10 backup covered in .. sorry, can't find the article

Um, far as I can remember, rip the second disk to hard drive, change to disk 1 and start a new session. Pull in the first disk from 'Open Disk' and 'Add' the second with 'Open Files'. Then Backup should give you the 9Gb entire structure to reauthor?

I'm sorry if that's a bit vague but yet again it's summat I've never actually done

Thank you...

I'll rip it with DVD Decrypter and see what I can do.


Edited: Oh, by the way, wouldn't I need some kind of file splitter in order to seperate properly?

There's a guide to splitting to two disks here, http://www.dvdr-digest.com/articles/18_1.html
but I wish I could remember where the guide for combining was
