A question about the results of the AnyDVD + CloneDVD combination...

[Evil Strawberry]

Okay, I've ripped a DVD that has 4 episodes, it's a television series obviously. Now, ripping the individual episodes as produced 7 separate vob. files. 6 are 1GB and 1 is 500MB~. Thus, the beginning and ending of most of the episodes are stuck in the middle of the vob files. Now, when I encode these into DIVX files, how am I going to separate them by episode? Will I have to find the time at which one episode ends manually or something?

In fact, what is the best way to encode these? Should I just find a plug-in to use with Virtual-Dub? What is the best way to separate the episodes and deinterlace the files and all?

The link posted above is great, but the AutoGK scripts are tedious, and any mistake will FUBAR the process.

You can do something different.

1) Rip the DVD to HD.
2) use TMPGEnc DVD Author to make a single MPG file out of the entire disc (New Project>Import DVD>select "copy data to HD")
3) cut the single, huge MPEG2 file in its corresponding episodes with Video ReDo
4) reauthor the resulting files with whatever program you wish.

So this TMPGEnc DVD Author thing can make one large DIVX file out of many vob files? It won't like stutter between the separations will it?
