VLC Ripp help

[Arite]

I Deletted it now what els should I do before trying to Ripp the DVD???

Open VLC, go to "Tools >> Messages..." and raise the "Verbosity Level" to 2.

Then in the main VLC window setup you DVD-Video conversion by doing "Media >> Convert / Save..." etc. Hopefully VLC won't crash this time. If it does, post the messages from the Messages window here.

Ok I Deletted the VLC Folder in the APS DIR and I set the Verbos to 2.

Should I do anything els just to be sure before I try to Ripp a DVD???

[VLC_help]

No. Keep the messages open and start the ripping. Then paste messages here. Use Code tags when you paste messages.

Ok I left the Massage Window open and rtyed to Ripp a DVD again.

The same thing happened a Window comes up that says VLC Needs To Closs It Encountered A Problem.

In the VLC Massage Window it says
main info: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.

Is this what you told me to copy?? This is all it says

[Arite]

You need to set the verbosity level to 2 before ripping the DVD, see random's post:
viewtopic.php?f=14&t=55310&start=15#p182944

So - open the messages window, raise the verbosity level, the rip the DVD again. When VLC crashes copy the messages here if you can.

One thing befor I try to Rip again??

I put a checkmark in File and then Brows for my D:/ Drive.

And I just rtyed this after I get to D:/ I make sure I select Video-TS
For all the DVD Files but one thing the Folder Video-ST does not open I just can select it.

And I thought maybe if I try this instead of just Selecting D:/ it will work.
When I go to Rip this time the VLC Media Player just hangs there but not Window telling me it has to Crash or Closs.

So I let it stay for a fue min. thinking that it is going but nothing so I closs it.

But it still put a File on my Desktop that is 0. Bytes.

I just wanted to let you know what I tryed.

When the Window does come up that tells me VLC had to closs it is more like one of those Windows Massages I can't copy the words in it.
Now do you meen to click on Learn More at the bottom??

[Arite]

OK well let's just assume the messages can't be copied. Instead do this:

Go to:
Start >> Run...

And enter:

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" --file-logging --logfile C:\vlc_log.txt

Then press OK. That should open VLC. Then with that do you DVD rip. When VLC crashes, press OK/Close to close it down.

Then open up My Computer, C:\ drive and open "vlc_log.txt" there. Copy and paste the contents here.

I did everything you told me to above.
I Deleted VLC Folder again in APS DIR.
I set Verboss Lvel to 2.
And have an error report.
It says

Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'dvdsimple://D:\'. Check the log for details.

One thing it did not put it in my C:/ it just opened it up on screen.
What will it be called if it put it in my C:/??

Didthis help???

[Arite]

The file-logging thing above won't work on Windows.

EDIT: The method I described here also did not work. Hence: Try out different video/audio codecs out when transcoding.

Arite.

[biferi]

OK do you meen MPEG-2 codec will not work???
And do I have to just pick my DVD Drive D:\
or do I have to brows for the Video-ST Folder in the DVD?????

[Arite]

You should just be able to select your D:\ drive as the source. Thy out some different video codec etc. since the setup you have been trying has been causing it to crash. And post messages if you can get any (from the Messages window).

Arite.

[biferi]

OK I just tryed going to the Dropdown List for the Format you would like to Ripp To instead of picking the Encaptulation and Format by hand.

I picked MPEG-2 and let it do everything by it's self and it did not work the same Massage came up.
So then I picked H264 and let it do everything it's self and that did not work and the same Massage came up.

I use Win XP Pro do you think I should have something to download with VLC Media Player? All I downloaded was VLC Media Player 0.9?????

[Arite]

No you don't need anything else with it. If you downloaded VLC media player 0.9.8a from the official site (here) and removed preferences and cache file then that should be all you need.

Arite.

[biferi]

Just one thing when you say Remove Preferanceses and Cash Files do you meen just Deletting the VLC Folder from the APS DIR?????????????????

And inside Tools and Massages I st Verboss to level 2. but I see a Tab that says Clear what is this for?????

[biferi]

Ok I just Un Installed VLC and removed everything.
Then I just Installed the Verson from the Link you gave me.
Then when it was Installing I Checked the Option that says Delette Preferances and Cash Files.

Then I tryed to Ripp again and I just selected MPEG-2 from the Dropdown List and let it do everything.

And the same thing happened it will not Ripp and gives the same Massage.

If someone does not mind I would realy like to get this to work.

That is for clearing the messages. Don't do that. Once you have set the verbosity to 2, do the DVD rip with VLC. As the process starts messages will appear in the Messages window.

OK I foundout something?

If I go to ripp and I don't put a Checkmarck in No DVD Menus it will ripp the DVD.

Now go to the Dropdown list that says Custom but I stsect MPEG-4 / Divx

And it just Ripps the Main DVD Menu and that plays but it looks Pixelleted.

So I am getting clooser what do I do?

[Arite]

You need to specify the right title. With a bit of trial and error you should be able to find out the title for the main movie. Enter e.g. "1", "2" etc. into the "Title" field in the "Open" window:



Then just press "Play". Once you know you have the right title, use that one for the conversion.

Arite.

[biferi]

OK if I don't put a checkmark in No DVD Menuse and leave Title set to 0. it will Ripp it but just the Main Menue Screen and plays Pixeled.

If I do the same thing but set the Title to 1. or 2 or 3. I get now Massage at all and it just puts a File on the Desktop that is 0. Bytes.

This is a Simpsons DVD you know the TV Show.
What els can you think of I think I am getting closs because if I leave it set to Title 0. it does ripp the Selection Screen Menus???????????

[Arite]

Tick "No DVD menus" as that is a better mode for playing individual titles. Try more titles - 4, 5, 6 etc., except just play them (i.e. to test to see if they are the right episode(s)) first. If the title selected is playable it shouldn't crash when converting.

Arite.

[biferi]

OK I put a checkmark in Play Localy but the only Tab is the one at the Bottum Right that says Save and that starts the Encoding.

And I keep trying Title 0. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
And they all crash.
But when I take the checkmark out of No DVD Menus it rips just the main Screen and that is it.

And it did not play Localy does that meen I am missing somthing how do you get it to play at the same time?????

If everyone can do this and get it to work I think I am just missing something.

Or maybe my computer is I do have a Firewall and Anti Virus but I can Play dvds???????????????
Please keep thinking thanks

[biferi]

I think I may know what is going ON???

I just downloaded Media Coder to try to convert Video Files from one format to another and when it whent to do it it told me.
Media Coder could not convert the Video File because the MCoder could not be found or is not Installed.

Now I now this is Media Coder but can my VLC Media Player not be able to Ripp the DVD because I am missing the MCoder???

"File >> Open Disc..." will give you a "Play" button.

And it did not play Localy does that meen I am missing somthing how do you get it to play at the same time?????

Ticking "Play locally" should playback the video in real time at the same time as the encoding.

No, VLC media player uses it's own codecs - does not need MCoder.
