DVD Decrypter & Auto G Knot

Hi all, This is my first post here and believe me I have read the forums so much, I am now more confused than ever, but I think I have a basic understanding here. Here is my situation: I run an internet radio station, fully licensed (ASCAP,BMI,SESAC). I wish to add music videos to my site, and have chosen a flash player as the viewing medium. I subscribe to Promo Only's Country Video DVD. I used DVD Decrypter to rip the chapters and Auto Guardian Knot to convert. I specified the input and output file, but the Audio track only gave me 2 choices; Unknown Audio & No Audio. Seems all went well till the end of the process. I get an "EXCEPTION: Audio is not found". I know the audio is on the DVD. Did DVD Decrypter not rip the audio? Hopefully someone reading this can shead some light on my situation. It is my hope to rip & encode the DVD. Then use Vegas to edit and finally Riva FLV Encoder to get the final flash music video's If there is anyone else out there that is doing anything simular, please let me know how it is working for you. Any and all suggestions would be most appreciated.....Thank you !

Did you run DVD Decrypter in IFO Mode?

hi and welcome to the forum, as a general suggestion i'd have to say that your method is far from ideal and will probably yield far worse quality than possible. of course i do not know Riva FLV Encoder, but imho you should check if it can directly take avs files as input (instead of avis). if so, you should check out doom9's frameserving guides and avoid to reencode the video. if it doesn't accept avs files, you should try the ffdshow avs2avi wrapper... it creates a kind of fake avi, only a couple of megs in size, which basically tricks the encoder into thinking it's dealing with a real avi, but in reality is directly accessing the log files. sounds complicated? well it actually isn't! if you need any further help, feel free to ask, but please reconsider the double encoding approach! (your customers will thank you ;)) kr steVe

Thanks guys for the responses. To answer Castellanos, yes I did make sure DVD Decrypter was set to IFO Mode. Killingspree, I would like to talk to your further about what you are suggesting. You can either post here, or ask me for my email if not available. Thanks again guys......

hi again, perhaps you should start by reading the guides ;) a comprehensive guide to avisynth frameserving, try to create your first small script so you can check if your encoder can handle avs files!! @jggimi: great reply, makes mine look tiny ;) kr SteVe edit: also you might to want to take a closer look at this thread:
