what each program does...i need help!

[by_the_flame13]

Kai. I believe i have all the programs i need in order to rip my dvd. Right now, i am ripping the vobs onto my cmpu.

But my problem is, and has beenf or a long time, that no matter how many guides i read, and no matter how many times i read them, I don't understand what each program does, how to use it, and in which order i need to do things.

none of it makes sence, but i am trying really hard to understand. I have this really awesome video i want to make, but i am really unsure of what i am supposed to do. Please dont tell me to the read guides again.

I've tried, and i still dont get it. I need someone to help me understand what the programs do, and what order and such.

Please help!!![/b]

This is a forum, not a chat room. Please don't bump your topics after only 13 minutes.

Here's the quick list:

<b>DVD ripper of your choice</b>: rips VOBs from DVD to hard drive

<b>DVD2AVI/DGIndex</b>: creates D2V files, which are indexes of VOBs

<b>AVISynth</b>: serves the D2V files so other programs can use the video; also can apply preprocessing filters (usually IVTC/deinterlacing)

<b>VirtualDub/Mod</b>: used to preview changes to AVISynth scripts; also, if you're saving clips, used to save the clips (with MJPEG if you're doing the swap method, or otherwise with lossless codec of your choice (read: HuffYUV or Lagarith))

Got it memorized?

I guess you ask a wrong forum board much better to go here Capturing and Ripping Section to make your post help by others.

But what follow what he said to you.

When in doubt, Read <a href=http://www.a-m-v.org/guides/avtech31/>ErMaC & AbsoluteDestiny's Friendly AMV Guides</a>. It's pretty easy to understand, and goes through the process step-by-step. With pictures.

You can get DGIndex, AVISynth, and VirtualDubMod all as part of the AMVapp package:

You know, I really hope that the next update of the AMVapp includes a list right there on the download page of just what-all is IN it.
