GOOD dvd rippers...

[lauramcewan.livejournal.com]

Hey all,

I use Sony Vegas Pro 8.0 and for years now have been using DVD Decrypter followed by AutoGordianKnot to convert the .vob files to .avi files.

However, the .vob files seem to be nicer looking.

I've had someone tell me to set my ripper to 'deinterlacing' and I totally get why...but I don't have one that does that.

I've tried Handbrake and it simply does not work on my machine. I've tried a few times, even. *head meet brick wall* When I did have success, it insisted on running different episodes from my dvds (tv show) into each other, so I'd get part of episode one, the rest of 1.1 and part of 1.2 on the next file, then parts of 1.2 and 1.3 on the next file, etc. Which makes it hard to rename the files and find what I'm looking for.

So I'm willing to consider buying a good DVD ripper program rather than trying to rely on freeware. Does anyone have any good suggestions on ripper software that allows for deinterlacing while I pull the .vob files?

Handbrake comes in PC version, but it just doesn't work right for me.

I do use VDubMod for clipping but I don't see in its options anywhere deinterlacing, nor in the Vegas. I shall have to poke some more! Thank you!

Ooh, there's a PC version of Handbrake? *runs off to find*

Vegas doesn't de-interlace, AFAIK, but I think you can change the field orders in the project properties, which sometimes helps. The last vid I did rendered with interlacing whatever I did, but I filtered that out when I compressed my master file to DivX using MpegStreamclip.

I hope you find a solution!
