MeGUI/Guides/Basic Guide/Ripping

Basic Info

This section deals with two actions:

• Extracting & decrypting ('ripping') the raw data off the DVD
• Demultiplexing (demuxing) the audio streams from the resulting file and creating an index file for the video data.

Ripping the DVD

• Start up DVD Decrypter and choose your DVD drive in the drop down box.
• Choose IFO (InFormatiOn file) in 'Mode'.
• Select the PGC (ProGram Chain) that matches the length of your movie (may be auto-selected):
• Choose your save location
• Click the Rip button. Once this process completes you will be left with:

• One large vob file (the video and audio data),

• If you didn't set DVD Decrypter to create only one VOB file, you will end up with a number of 1gb sized VOBs. Just use the first one for the next step.

• An ifo file (part of the DVD file structure),
• The OGG format chapter file (open it up to see how the chapters are stored),
• A stream information file (with information on the audio and video streams in the vob).

Demuxing the audio and creating the d2v index

• Start up MeGUI
• Go Tools -> File Indexer
• Select the .vob file from DVD Decrypter as the Video Input
• Choose "all audio tracks" under "audio demux"
• Choose the location to save the d2v file to
• Click "queue", then wait for the indexer to complete.
• Go back to the main screen and click on the tab. Click the button to create the d2v.

Once you've done this, proceed to the next section: encoding the audio.
