MPEG1/VCD

SmartRipper

1. SmartRipper (put the dvd in your dvd-rom and decrypt to your hard drive)


Note: For this entire procedure, you're going to need plenty of hard drive space. DVD movies are anywhere from 4 to 10 gigs, and u also need the space that the resulting MPEG will occupy, which can be an extra 1 to 2gigs.

Before running it, please play the movie in a software dvd player for only a couple seconds and then close it. This will "authenticate/unlock" the drive.

When you first run SmartRipper, it will go through a series of IFO files and prepare to actually parse the DVD the way it should be played in a standalone. It will automatically start with the movie section and select the MOVIE. Keep in mind that using IFO parsing (the movie section of the program) you are completely going to not worry about any multiangles or any other weird problems.. such as a music video intermission between your movie files. (For example: Trinity's double kick in "The Matrix", Pokemon II) Those kinds of things will just automatically be left out of the VOBs while it rips.





1. First... the program will open into Stream Settings, click on the Input tab. I also suggest you click settings: Key Check to only ONCE and set File splitting by every vob-file. Hit OK to go back to the movie menu. [PLEASE Do not enable Stream Processing]

2. Your movie length should already be highlighted in the "IFO -> Title -> Angle" window, if it isn't, please select it.

3. Please select the proper target folder at the bottom, SmartRipper will also check for available space. The start button will now appear under the settings button.

4. Please click on it.. and the ripping process will begin in a new window.

Once you get the "Ripping Complete" prompt, press OK and close SmartRipper.
