Ripping DVD's for Torrents

Post by King_Nothing »

Hello there, as you all know I have just finished seeding the South Africa show from Metallica, and I used DVD FAB to rip the discs to my HD to share.
DVD FAB, for some reason, did not take the menus properly. I've looked in the settings and Cant seem to find a problem.
Should I be using "Main Movie" mode? Or "Customize" where it allows me to "preserve Menus"


I was wondering either how this can be avoided in the future, or what other program can I use for easy, flawless DVD Ripping so I can torrent them w/o missing menus etc...

Any input would be great as I would like to get it right next time :)

Thanks in advance,
Shawn

Thank you, are you using DVDFab Gold? Or Platinum?

Im using Platinum im sure, I think I may of had a brain fart and used Main Movie mode when I should of used FULL DISC.

Either way im going to get the newest version when I get home to avoid this from happening again.

i have DVDFab 5 Platinum and a older one as a backup both work very well, you do not have to use it to rip dvd's to the hard drive though i personally only use the program to fix corrupt discs thats all, it has other features as well i just never needed to use it accept for fixing corrupt discs. hands down it is one of the best programs out there to fix corrupt files although sometimes if some are stubborn you have to take more advanced action.

Guys I also endorse this program. Chris was good enough to share the program with me and I swear by it now. Really simple to use.

Does everything perfectly. Have not had any problems at all since using this.

I essentially do the same, I just drag and drop the VIDEO_TS folder from the DVD to my hard drive, then I burn it with Nero. The advantage of doing that way is that you can tell if one of your files is possibly corrupt and its easier to get a replacement file from someone then an entire dvd.

Agreed. I always use the copy&paste method. I'll only use programs like DvdFab or DvdDecrypter if I come across any errors or if i'm copying actual movie dvds
