Alright, so I have all the neccesary programs to rip from my DVD's as AVS files. The quality is crisp and beautiful. But, I want to make an AMV for Chrono Crusade, and want to use clips for the entire series. This presents a problem, because the AVS file requires I have the disk in the drive while Im editting it. I cant have five disks in the drive simultaneously right? Is there a way to rip the files onto my computer with that same beautiful quality, and be able to take clips from all 24 episodes instead of just a few that is on one single DVD? I would really appreciate any help you fine people might be able to provide me.

you're supposed to rip them to your computer first.

Wait, what?

Post one of your AVS scripts. I didn't even know AVISynth HAD any plugins that were capable of loading video straight off a DVD.

It can. I've done it before. But I don't recommend it. In fact, I think I even... *looks* mention it here:

I don't recommend creating lossless copies directly from the .vob files even if ripped, and I certainly wouldn't suggest doing it straight from the DVD disc itself.

Unstated, but implied, is the fact you can do it straight from DVD. Instead, I recommend you would need to do is rip the footage to your harddrive, just because frankly, you have more control over the process and it should be a heck of a lot faster. However, there is nothing stopping you from indexing and accessing the vob files directly off of your DVD drive. You could make lossless copies that way, thereby saving the space required to hold your ripped vobs but.... meh... if you're happy with your lossless copies, you just delete the original vobs anyway, so I don't see this method can ever be argued as better, or in any way easier. Unless you're just that adament against DVD Decryptor.

And the call to the DVD wouldn't be from the avs script. it would be from the d2v file.
