Ripping certain spots of a DVD

[AlienDB7]

From the FAQ @ http://www.gromkov.com/faq/faq2004-0065.html :

If TMPGEnc says Can't load P3Package.dll or P4Package.dll?
Be sure that you have exctracted all files in the tmpgenc download zip file to a folder then go to that folder and start tmpgenc.exe or make a shortcut to tmpgenc.exe and it should work. Or try copy the p3package.dll and p4package.dll to your windows\system32 folder and restart TMPGEnc.

Yeah, tell me about it. The first movie resolved the whole story, why go on?


p.s. sorry to go off topic, just had to mention it

[ZfrkS62]

lol, it's ok. it's my thread anyway

btw, what was your opinion of the show? i had mixed feelings about it.

<edit> Thanks Alien! it is now encoded as MPEG and opens in WMP.

now, when i figure out how to set it as my sig, will it automaticaly loop?

[jamberl]

Bits of it were really good. It was just unfortunate that parts were sappy or overly sentimental. The atmosphere and directing was good- the way it was all moody and dark. A solid movie, but could have been better. Good enough to watch, but I wouldnt buy it on DVD.


By the way, if TMPGenc doesnt work for you (although it should if you try what I suggested...... fingers crossed) then maybe try this:

I remember using this once..... although unfortunately I cant remember if it was any good or not!

[ZfrkS62]

i don't have it on either VHS or DVD, but i've rented it quite a bit. might as well get it on DVD.

but i edited my post as you were making your post.
i got it encoded, just had to leave the exe file in the extracted folder.

on to the the second to last and ultimatley the final step

figuring out how to make it my sig and will it automatically loop when i do it?

[jamberl]

Oooo tricky. You will probably have to ask one of the admins, I know absolutely nothing about this. Sorry!

Just out of interest, what is the clip? If you are successful, let me know, as there are a couple of video clips I can think of that would be cool sigs.

[ZfrkS62]

its phil margera smashing a watermelon over ryan dunn's head.

how big is your email inbox? i might be able to email it to you.

[jamberl]

I think its about 10MB.

I'll PM you my email address. Cheers

[jamberl]

Haha nice clip. Good quality rip, too.

Stupid question, but what movie is that from?

[ZfrkS62]

Haggard

i've mentioned it a few times in the last few days. (notice bam's A4 in the background. plate# CKY2K)

edit* thanks guys! thanks to minacious too

[jamberl]

Nice one on getting the sig working. How did you convert it to a .gif from an mpeg?

[ZfrkS62]

minacious managed to do that. he has the movie and i had mentioned the clip to him. he PMed me with it so i put it up.

i;m going to work with the clip that i've got and see what i can do. maybe make a 56K friendly version of it since it's shorter. (demon already expressed his shock in its size )

arrrghh!!! more programs

will that one shrink the mpeg i have now? i will still have to turn it into a gif format huh?

[jamberl]

Sorry to contradict you Toronto, but DVD shrink is actually inappropriate in this case.

DVD shrink is for copying DVD to DVD, but not keeping all the bits (i.e. not copying special features) so that a commercial DVD (something like 9 gigs) can be trimmed and made to fit onto a single layer DVD (4.7gig).

It will not convert files to mpg, and it certainly wont make you an animated gif.
