Ripping with DVD2MPEG

Materials needed:
DVD2MPG
A FAST computer, i reccommend 350Mhz+ processor, and a LOT of time on your hands!!!

Installing and ripping:

1. Unzip DVD2MPG.zip using WinZIP Classic (NOT WinZIP Wizard) or any other unzipper. Run the setup.exe, unzip all other zips contained. Panasonic Encoder plugin will ask for Adobe Premeire or a different place to install it, install it into C:\Program Files\DVD2MPG\ (or the equivelent to it..). Now procede to the next step:
2. If you have Xing DVD Player installed, you must remove the XmdAudioDecode.dll and XmdVidSubDecode.dll in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Xing Shares\MPEG Decode\
3. Now run DVD2MPG Squeezer V1.0.exe from the start menu, go to file and click on "Select Graph". If you have a NTSC DVD, choose the NTSC.grf, if PAL, choose PAL.grf.
4. Now go to file, "Select Output". Enter in any name with a .mpv or .m1v extension for the video, then choose a name for the audio ending with .mpa or .mp2.
5. Next go to options and select "Capture Settings". If you have a NTSC DVD, click the "Default to NTSC", and for PAL..... Now for the maxframenumber enter in something like 9999999.
6. Select "Build Graph and MPG Settings". It will ask to test something, click OK. The image will be distorted, probably even upsidedown, this is normal. Browse the the place you want to start capturing and go to "Playback", "Start/Stop Capturing". The Panasonic MPEG-1 Encoder options screen will pop-up, leave it all the same except for selecting the MPEG-1 Stream, Choose VCD/NTSC or VCD/PAL, depending on DVD...
7. In about ~15 hours the rip will be done, before the rip is done be sure to select the stop capturing thingy. NOTE: See possible problems during ripping section below!!!
8. Open the Xing MPEG Encoder (dont worry, it doesnt encode, it just multiplexes...). Open the mpv/m1v in it for video and the mpa/mp2 for sound, and encode. All done!

Problems during ripping:

Video capturing may freeze, there will be no error notification, check ocasionally to make sure the video continues to play, if it freezes, so did the capturing.
