HOW TO MAKE A DVD RIP FROM A DVD

DVD Ripping Guide

Step 1

1. Put the DVD in the drive
2. Open DVD Shrink
3. Click “Open Disc”
4. Select the Disc you wish to rip
5. Wait for it to open the file
6. Click “Re-author”
7. Under “Main Movie” click and drag the title you want (usually Title 1, use the preview to find out which title you want)
8. Click on the “Compression Settings” tab
9. Change the compression setting from “Automatic” to “No Compression”
10. Uncheck all Audio tracks you don’t want (usually you will only want AC3 5.1-ch English or whatever language the movie is really in)
11. (Optional) Select all Subpictures that you want (if there is more than one in the language you want, then select all in that language, we can choose the correct one later)(make sure you select all the English subtitle options if there are subtitles that should be in the movie, such as the alien subtitles in star wars or the elvish subtitles in lord of the rings)
12. Click “Backup”
13. Click “Yes” if it tells you the DVD size is too big
14. Make sure the Backup Target is set to “Hard Disk Folder” then select a folder for the DVD files to go in
15. Click “OK”
16. Wait till it’s done


Step 2 (Only if subtitles are to be added)

1. Open SubRip
2. Click “File”
3. Click “Open VOB(s)”
4. Click “Open Dir”
5. Locate the VOB files that you just created with DVD Shrink
6. Click the first VOB
7. Click “Open”
8. Select the Language Stream you want from the drop down menu
9. Click “Start”
10. It won’t know what any of the letters are at first, so you have to type them in when it asks you to (you’ll understand when you do it)
11. Wait till it’s finished ripping the subs
12. In the bottom window pane, click “Corrections”
13. Click “Post OCR Correction”
14. Select the first option, second option, choose the language of the subtitles, select the third option, leave the next 2 options, then select the 2 options after that
15. Click “Correct”
16. Click “File”
17. Click “Save As”
18. Click “Save”
19. Click “Save”


Step 3

3. Locate the IFO that was ripped in DVD Shrink and open it
4. Click the folder next to “Output file”
5. Name the file what you want
6. Click “Save” If you don’t want or need subtitles, skip to 10.
7. (If you have subtitles) Press Ctrl+F8
8. (If you have subtitles) Click the folder next to “External Subs”
9. (If you have subtitles) Click the subtitles file and open it
10. You do not need to select any subtitle track
11. Select the Audio track that you want (there should only be one)
12. Under “Predefined size” select “1 CD (700 Mb)”
13. Click “Advanced Settings”
14. Click “Fixed width” and select “640”
15. Under “Codec” select either of the options (I use XviD)
16. Click “OK”
17. Click “Add Job”
18. Click “Start”
19. Let it do what it wants, it should take about 2 to 3 hours to finish it all
20. Open the location where you saved the output file and that’s it, you should have a fully working .avi with burnt in subs (if you have subs in the movie)
