Hi. I've been using Magic DVD Ripper for many months now, but just now came across an odd problem. I'm running v5.2.1 on Windows XP on a MacBook Pro (I have WinXP installed on my Mac via BootCamp).
My goal:
to rip ONLY the episodes/main-movie from film and tv-show DVDs in ORIGINAL MPEG-2 quality (i.e., no menus, no VOBs, no AVIs, etc.)
Steps I take:
(1) When using MDR, I go to the CONVERT option (as opposed to the BACKUP option).
(2) In the left side, under SOURCE, I select the desired DVD.
(3) In the left side, under DESTINATION, I select DESKTOP. I always make sure the Required Space is LESS THAN the Free Space.
(4) In the right side, under INPUT-Title, I select the "multiple titles to convert" button (looks like 2 white sheets of paper). A new window pops up, in which I select the titles I want (usually the 22:00 minute titles). The titles are highlighted green, and I then click OK. I then automatically go back to the first window.
(5) In the right side, under INPUT, I leave the Audio, Angle, and Subtitle options alone (after doing step-4 above, these options cannot be used, so I just ignore them).
(6) In the right side, under OUTPUT-Profile, I select ORIGINAL MPEG2.
(7) In the right side, under OUTPUT-Split Mode, I select INFINITE.
(8) In the right side, under OUTPUT-File name, I leave it alone.
(9) I then hit START.
As stated in step-4, I have selected episodes that are about 22-minutes long. However, when they have finished ripping, I play them in VLC and find that they are about 11 minutes long. I take the steps EXACTLY as listed above (steps 1-9). Has anyone else dealt with this? This has happened on several DVDs (by several different manufactureres/distributors/comanies).
Further, to make things more odd, when scanning through the content (i.e., fast forwarding with VLC), I see that the very beginning of the episode is there, as well as the ending. That means that somewhere in the middle, an 11-minute chunk has gone missing.
Any ideas?
PS, I've also used v4.3.1 on this same computer, and suffered the same problems as above.
