- In Order for TMPGEnc to recognise D2V files, you
MUST have the VFAPI
and the DVD2AVI.VFP
file located where the TMPGEnc.EXE file is! it will NOT work any other
way! It is also sometimes helps to use the Forced Film option in
DVD2AVI, but only if you are still unable to open the D2V files with
TMPGEnc. (suggested by msfox)
- In some DVD movies the Audio Track is located on the
second track, so you might want to try in DVD2AVI to rip the secondary
Audio Track, if you are not sure which Audio Track to choose, open the
Chapter-X-Tractor text file and you can check in there.
- Also in some movies the Audio Track is a DTS and
DVD2AVI is incapable of handling it and converting it to WAV, I would
recommand you find a diffrent track, there is usually both DTS and AC3
tracks, use the information files by either Smart Ripper or
Chapter-X-Tractor to find out if your movie has an AC3 track and if
does, then on which track it is, and if there isn't find the next best
alternative which would be the 2ch track.
- Make sure when you encode the movie that you use the
currect Template for your movie, an incorrect Template will cause A/V
sync problems and not to mention the resolution will be distorted (if
you use PAL on NTSC and NTSC on PAL).
- If you are having problems copying the Movie VOB files
to your HDD, I suggest you check your ASPI Layer, the ASPI that comes
with Windows9x, Millenium are not good for ripping, update them, and
Windows2000/XP does not come with an ASPI Layer at all! make sure you
download the latest ASPI for your system, use ONLY WinASPI v4.60 Build 1021
(work on 98/Me/2000 and XP!)
- If Smart Ripper or any other of the DVD Copying programs
are unable to access your DVD Movie, try to first play the disc using
any Software DVD Player, and then try to re-run the program.
- Because the Copying program always selects as default
the longest running title of the DVD, it might select the wrong title,
So make sure the VOB's that were copied are indeed the VOB that belong
to the movie itself and not the Extra features (e.g. Pearl Harbor).
- FlaskMPEG does NOT come with the Panasonic MPEG1 Plugin,
you must get and install the plugin on your own, it is NOT a freeware.
- DVDx and FlaskMPEG require the IFO file, so make
sure you rip that you select "Files Mode" or "Backup Mode" in your
ripper.
- There is a bug in VirtualDub v1.4.10 which causes the
Handler not to
work,
so use the Handler installer from v1.4.9 or switch to the latest
version
v1.5.1 as the bug was fixed in the later releases.
- When having A/V Sync
problems with DVD2AVI and TMPGEnc, If DVD2AVI reports the first few seconds of the video is NTSC (the
lead-in) and then the rest of the video is FILM. By starting
the encode using the "Force Film" option, should fix Audio/Video Sync
problems. (thanks to vcddude)
- If your DVD media is giving you
problems during the
copying step, use DVD Decrypter and Check the FAST ERROR SKIP box, set
the HARDWARE
READ ERROR RETRIES to 0, set the SOFTWARE READ/WRITE ERROR RETRIES to
0, check the IGNORE READ ERRORS box. (suggested by: 8dragon8 from VideoHelp forums)
- If
your source Audio has a Low Volume, then it would be recommanded to use
a tool to boost the volume before the encoding, if you are using
TMPGEnc, simply click on "Setting"
button and then select the "Audio"
tab and click on the "Setting"
next to the "Audio Edit"
option. On the Left Corner you will have "Change volume" and under it the "100% Normalize" option, use this to
increase the volume level and then use the "Play" button to check if it's high
enough, click on the "OK" when
you are done.
