Ripping DVD to DiVx

[pillage2001]

How long does it usually takes to rip a DVD? What is LBA? I'm using MpEg2AVi to rip it.

Are there any sites where I can refer to as I'm planning to rip the DVD to VCD format. How good is Divx? Like DVD quality?

and several hours to re-encode

but pillage2001 is just trying to back-up his movies... right pillage2001?

thats legal isn't it?

 

[pillage2001]

Why would it be locked? I was trying to see the quality of the Divx. is it illegal?

 

[brian_riendeau]

Why would this be locked? It gets hard to count the number of threads pertaining to "making backup CDs" and which CD burners can get past copy protection, this should be no different. Pillage, it is not illegal unless you distribute the movies you encode or try selling them out of a van on the street

 

[pillage2001]

Hell no am I gonna sell it at the streets. Do you want me to get kicked out of this country?

Depends how long the movie. Could be from 6 to 15Hours.

Doubtful. Seeing as how Tom's and TechTv's Screensavers have both posted how-to guides on their sites, a discussion in this forum seems perfectly appropriate. I'm getting a dvd drive for christmas, and you better believe I'll be trying Divx ripping as soon as it's installed. I could care less about pirating movies, I just want to check out mpeg-4 for myself.

I've did alittle divx encoding. It takes a total of about 4 to 6 hrs sometimes less depending on your computer and how long the movie is for all of the processes. You have to do a few things to get high quality divx.



This link will help you alot

Stark: I'm getting a DVD drive for the same exact reason as you

I'vetried encoding the movies and it sucked. I mean the picture is tearing and I think the compression I used is wrong. Does anybody have a program which is easy and simplified to use? I've spent 3 hours reading a bunch of stuffs and trying them but to no avail.

takes me 10-15mins to rip the DVD then 5+ hours to encode, all depends on quality and resolution.

 

[pillage2001]

What program did you use to encode it? I'm getting weird quality of pictures from ripping with different encoders.
