This program has been designed for easy and fast creating of DVD backups. Before starting using this program, it is required to copy the files from DVD by help of some of DVDRipers.
1.Input Files
External Program Locations - Location of programs needed for the conversion (m2apx3g.exe and divxauto40b.exe are a part of the program, virtualdub you have to get from Internet)...
Input Files - Location of *.vob files on the hard disk. Names of files that we want to backup (it may not be all files).
Video Information - Information about resolution, number of pictures per a second, aspect and video format ratio.
2.Video Options
Video Options - recommended to leave the default settings. It is suitable according to your consideration to change the output format.
Output Format - here you can choose of more than 20 preset formats or to choose your own format (Custom) - if you choose this, I recommend to use Preview to see possible movie trim. The Output Croping option defines the trim size. Down Sampling defines new picture size. In comparison with the FlaskMpeg program or other similar tools, there is a disadvantage here - impossibility of defining the indention from the upper or the left edge.
Frame Options - options for shortening the movie. It means, if you define the number of frames, e. g. the subtitles may not be processed or you can choose just a part of the movie. To find out the number of frames I recommend to use a compression card by help of which you can find out the number of frames after entering time. If you use a DVD player you can count the frames (number of seconds x number of pictures per second). Our example movie contain 168250 frames (25f/s - 6730s - 1h 52m 10s).
3. Audio Options
If you tick off "Create audio",
there will be the sound track created together with the movie
Enable audio Stream ID checking and Audio
Stream ID options enable to select the sound track for decoding
(choosing the language for the sound).
Remaining options serve for setting up the
audio quality. It is recommended here to leave the option as seen on
the picture. According to the sound requirements you can use a higher
sampling frequency 48000 Hz and higher compression degree. E. g.
128kbps mp3. The sound on the DVD is stored in 48000 Hz.
4. Compression
Here you can set up the video quality. Information come out from the Divx compressor settings. It is recommended to use the newest DivX codec and the 2pass mode.
Bitrate - a great option which does not require to count the data flow. It is also a good option for defining the movie length and number of frames.
5. Output Files
Options for location of output files and start of backup.
Notes
When there appears: "Error: Couldn't find selection
'Divx Codec 4.11' in ComboBox 0", you have probably chosen another codec than you are using or you use a newer one that is not set up in the option yet. The solution is to use manual setup of the codec and to close this window with error announcement. In our case, this error was caused by the Divx codec version 4.12.
