How to create an XviD file from a DVD (DVD to XviD) |
I have three simple criteria for my movie conversion:
- The audio/video absolutely remain in perfect sync
- The picture must be smooth rather than jumpy
- There must be a subtitle option
After trying several video conversion tools, AoA DVD Ripper is the only one tested that could meet my criteria. Below are the steps I went thru to create an AVI file from a DVD.
Note: You are encouraged and required to contact the movie distributor to find out about any and all copyright issues before attempting this procedure.
Step 1:
1-1 Obtain and install AoA DVD Ripper.
1-2 Install Xvid Codec. |
Xvid Codec: http://www.aoamedia.com/XvidCodec.exe |
| Step 2:
Start the program and load your DVD.
|
 |
| Step 3:
Select the root directory of your DVD disk in the previous step and press OK.
|
 |
| Step 4:
Now your DVD is ready to begin. Notice that the first title has the longest time in duration. This is probably going to be the one you want to convert. |
 |
| Step 5:
RIGHT-CLICK any title and Uncheck all the titles
|
 |
Step 6:
Select the entry with LONGEST time (under Duration) and RIGHT-CLICK to change the output name. |
 |
| Step 7:
Enter the new output name. |
 |
| Step 8:
Press the Settings button. |
 |
| Step 9:
(optional) On the System tab, check the option to shutdown your PC when done for these long, overnight jobs. |
 |
| Step 10:
If your source DVD is NTSC (USA), set the output frame rate as 29.97/23.976 and the resolution as 720/480 on the Output tab. If your source DVD is PAL (Europe and the rest of the world), set the output frame rate as 25 and the resolution as 720/576. |
|
| Step 11:
(optional)
Only if you found that video is not in sync with the audio, check the following on the Advanced Options tab and select OK. |
 |
| Step 12:
Select the Xvid codec. If you cannot find the Xvid codec from the list, please install the video codec (see step1). |
 |
| Step 13:
Once your settings are set properly, press the OK checkmark. |
 |
| Step 14:
Select a subtitle language.
|
 |
| Step 15:
Double-check the title, the output type, the subtitle, set the output directory, and press the Start button. |
 |
| Step 16:
Sit back and watch your movie convert before your very eyes!
Note that Xvid has a status activity feedback window. You may just close it. |
AoA DVD Ripper does have an option to shutdown your PC when done for those long, overnight jobs. |
