![]() For a few forced subtitles it's not too tragic, but I can't say it's my idea of fun. Subtitle Edit can convert subtitles to srt files but it involves using character recognition software, checking the OCR software is always getting it right, then spell checking the subtitles and making sure they're formatted correctly. DVD subtitles generally being fairly ugly. They all downmix audio to stereo and Handbrake (I'm pretty sure) will either mux subtitles into the output file or hard-code them.įor DVDs I tend to extract the subtitles and convert them to SRT format for hard-coding. All you might need to do it check to make sure all the black is cropped. Programs such as Handbrake generally crop black bars when re-encoding. Chances are with AnyDVD or DVDFab (whatever their equivalent is called) decrypting in the background you could open the video on the disc directly with Handbrake, as long as you don't mind the drive being busy until the conversion is done. I rip with the HD Streams Extractor under MeGUI's Tools menu, and convert from there, but whatever your prefer. ![]() I've been using AnyDVD myself (not for ripping, just decrypting in the background) but it's no longer an option. I haven't used MakeMKV for ripping Blurays, but if it works it works. Aside from that, you can crop and re-encode and resize if need be. It involves setting the mode manually though. The 4:3 option also overscans as a CRT TV would, so you don't see the crud down the sides. If your media player ignores the aspect ratio in MKVs, pretty much every TV has an option to stretch the picture to 16:9, and they also have a 4:3 mode where they squish it to 4:3 and add black bars each side. For DVDs with newer copy protection it needs something like AnyDVD running in the background decrypting. You can prevent it from shrinking so it just rips, and you can re-author DVDs (a set of vob files or a single vob file per title etc) and rip at the same time. They tend to be problematic, although DVDShrink can rip DVDs that way. I wouldn't use use vob files for the final format. If that's the case you can remux the MKVs as TS files with TSMuxer. Make MKV is probably the easiest option for DVD, unless you have a media player that doesn't like mpeg2 video in an MKV container. So, I'm curious as to the products & workflows for each of the 3 processes.Ĭan people please offer their suggestions - or links to existing posts which describe solutions. Let's assume I can rip DVDs to plain VOB files etc. All other options except HD Decrypter are available on a Trial basis. I have DVDFab 8, but DVD Copy has expired. I have installed MakeMKV & Handbrake applications. Keeping the same codec, but downmixing to 2.0, would be great. I don't want to keep the menus or extras, however a few movies are foreign-language so I'll want to keep the English sub-titles.Īs for the audio, I only need stereo. ![]() There might also be issues with anamorphic storage aspect ratios? (3) for Blu-Rays with 2.35:1 or 2.40:1 material (817 or 800 lines of picture) I would like to crop the centre 75% of the picture ie. (2) for Blu-Rays with 16:9 material, keep the entire image and compress it to around 15 GB. (1) copy DVDs without compression, while converting the main-movie VOB files & subtitles into a single file. Keeping files compatible with MPEG4-TS is probably wise. It would be nice if they are also compatible with my Topfield TRF-2400 PVR - from the manual, it plays DivX (versions 3.0 - 6.0), XviD, VOB, MKV, MP4, and AVI. I want to start ripping my Blu-Ray movie collection (currently around 130 discs), plus a handful of DVDs, to a HDD so I can play them back on my computer.
