I have been wanting to make a dvd-rip backup of some dvd's that I own.
What I want to do is take a dvd and put it into an AVI file.
So what I do, is I rip the dvd to my computer with SmartRipper. Then I use MPEG4 Direct maker > DVD converter to open the vts_01_0.ifo file. Then I can select the encoding options (xvid, divx, other) and can customize bitrate, resolution, audio, frame-rate, etc. etc.
This is my question. I have seen several dvd-rips available online where they take a 2.5 hour movie, and compress it into a xvid or dvix avi file that is 700 megabytes, and the quality is (in my opinion) VERY good.
This is my problem. I'm trying to convert the DVD into an avi file around 700 megabytes, just like the others I've mentioned. However, I've tried many different combinations of bitrate/resolution, and when the video size get down even to 1500 megabytes, the quality is horrible.
1. How in the world do people compress DVD movies into 700mb avi files with astounding quality?
2. Exactly what bitrates and advanced settings do these people use? (i.e. resolution, frame-rate, codec, bitrate, audio frequency, audio bitrate, motion pixel search, etc etc. )
3. What am I doing wrong? I've tried xvid, divx, and others to no avail.
4. How can I duplicate this effect?
Thanks - any advice is greatly appreciated.
