What do I with these .vob files?

Okay this sites guide is the most confusing crap I have ever seen. So the forums are my nest attempt to answer this question.

"after using DVD decrypter, what do I do with the .VOB files next?
I can view them on some players but I notice some fuzziness in white spots so I'm assuming a filter processes is next, or something.
and I don't have avmapp installed simply because I don't want extra crap I don't need yet.

Wrong place. This would go in the compression or ripping forum.

Get AMVApp, there will be something called DGIndex in the programs. Import the .vobs into that and then go to fil->save project and save it somewhere. This creates a proxy file through which Avisynth can easily be used to access all the selected .vobs as one file.

Code: Select all

MPEG2Source("file path to the .d2v file")

would be the main line you need for the .d2v file.

Do what you will with the avisynth file.

You can *choose* which programs in the app are installed. However, the amvapp is custom built by the guide maintainer and the guide relies heavily on the programs it contains...

that helped....so far

Next questions
1). My editor (Magix) will not import a avisynth file. I remember someone saying I would use Virtual Dub mod to get it into a file that an editor can read just not the steps. Is that the next step or is there a way to get an editor to read a avisynth file and I don't know about it?
2). I'm having trouble finding the page with codes I can add to the avisynth file to fix the clarity issues (which now seems to be lines appear "broken" and some "fuzziness" on images of white substances). Could someone give me a link to that page?

1) though there are other ways (makeAVIs, VFAPI) I feel that using vdub/mod is the most straightforward way.

2) http://www.animemusicvideos.org/guides/ ... etb3a.html (removing interlacing)
other avisynth stuff is covered towards the end of the guide

Got the video back to progressive thanks to that link but I'm still needing that other page. I swear there used to be a page with every possible code you could put in that avi synth file and what each one was for. Right now some clips are very fuzzy while other seems to not have that problem. (the video in whole is animatrix and clips like beyond are okay but "Last Flight..." is just fuzzy as heck)

it would help if you could get some screenshots

the other big avisynth page

a word of caution before proceeding. It may not be wise to simply copy/paste the things you see in the guide. Most avisynth plugins have documentation (..program files/avisynth2.5/plugins) that tell you what the plugin is for, and the various options you can give it (along with what said options do)

what u can do next is open the vob in VirtualDubMod, then there u can deinterlace and crop in case u need..along with a lot more of filters that u can use if u need
then u can compress it a lil bit so that it uses less space in ur disk..but do not compress it much cuz otherwise the quality will decrease and ur vids will look nasty with overfilteres footage..
hope it helps ^^

I do not recommend that advice.

While virtualdubmod can open vobs directly it is much better to use avisynth to deinterlace, crop, and pre-process the files. You can then open the avisynth scripts in virtualdubmod.

I also don't recommend compressing an intermediate file with lossy codecs. I say this not just because the quality is diminished, but also because most lossy codecs do not have keyframes for every frame. This can result in frame-inaccurate seeking which in turn will cause your videos sync to be slightly off in places or result in orphaned frames. Use lagarith or huffYUV if you have the space available to do so. Only use lossy codecs on your distribution versions.

Zarx's video guides are very simple to follow for this because you can watch the guide and do whatever you need to side by side with it:

The only thing that he doesnt go over is making Fake AVIs. In the new AMVapp, you can toss your script into vfapi and so long as you keep the VOBs and index files, you dont have to convert to lossless. Also for widescreen footage, you resize to 848x480.

I dont mean to be like: "Here follow this guide," but I just find the video guides to be very simple and easy.
