How to backup a DVD

 

1.    Open the program DVDDecryptor. This window should appear:

 

 

2.    In the Source, your DVD-ROM should be displayed, if not, select it from the drop down list.

 

3.    In the destination section, click on the little folder icon and select the destination where you want your files to be copied.

 

4.    And then click on the button with the picture of the DVD disc –> Hard drive.

 

5.    This process should take about 30 minutes depending on the length of the movie. You will know when the process is done when you see this screen

 

 

6.    Click Ok on that screen and exit the DVDDecrypter program.

 

7.    Go into the folder that you specified in step 3 to see if all the files are really there. You should have 1 IFO file and lots of VOB files.

 

8.    If everything’s seems to be ok, you shall continue to the next step which is to open the program DVD2AVI. The program looks like this:

 

 

9.    Go to the File menu and click on Open.

 

10.Browse to the folder you specified in step 3 and double click on the first .VOB file you see. For example (VTS_01_1.VOB).

 

11.Next, you will have a window that will appear that looks like this:

 

 

12.Just click on OK on that window

 

13.The size of the window in step 8 will get bigger. It will take the size of the DVD movie. Below I will put print screens of how all the settings should be set to.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

14.When all of these setting are set, you can go on with the next step which is to extract the sound and the video in 2 different files. You can do so by clicking on the file menu and then on Save Project.

15.In the Save As dialog box, choose the same directory as in step 3 (so you don’t get confused to where you saved all the files), and type a file name in the File name: text box and click on the Save button. My suggestion for a file name is the title of the movie plus DVD Nackte Frauen (ex.: TheGodfatherPart1). This process should take between 1.5 to 3 hours depending on the length of the movie.

 

16.When you see Finish in the Status section of the Statistics Window, close the program DVD2AVI and then continue with step 17.

 

 

17.Open the program TMPGEnc.

 

 

18.Click Next on the Project Wizard.

 

19.Click on the first browse button (Video File), browse to the folder in step 3 and double click on the d2v file.

 

 

20. Click on the second Browse button (Audio File) browse to the folder in step 3, double click on the wav file and then click Next.

 

 

21. in this window click on the Other Settings button.

 

 

22. In the next window, go to the second tab (Advanced) and in the Video Arrange Method choose Full Screen (Keep aspect Ratio 2) in the drop down list and then click OK.

 

23. Click Next and Next again.

 

24. In the text box Output file enter the path to where you want your VCD movie to be copied. You can also use the Browse button. I suggest you to always stick to 1 directory (the one in step 3). Once that is done, click Ok. This step is the longest of them all. It could take from 3 to 8 hours depending on the length of the movie. This is the part where you let it work overnight.

 

25. Once step 24 is done, then it’s time to split the file so it fits on CDs. To do so, open TMPGEnc, go in the File menu and click on MPEG Tools.

 

 

26. Click on the Merge & Cut tab

 

 

27. In the Type field choose MPEG-1 Video-CD

 

28. Click on the Add button, browse to the folder in step 24 and double click on the file you want to split.

 

 

29. Click once on the file to split and then click the Edit button.

 

 

30. This window will appear. Move the slider to the middle. If the time (on the left of the window) equals more than 1:10:00 then move the slider to that time. Press the “}” button. If you think that you’re splitting the file in the middle of a conversation, press the play button and when there’s a pause in that conversation, hit the pause button and press the “}” button. When you’re all done, click OK.

 

 

 

31. Click the browse button and chose an output directory and a file name for your first part of the movie. When you’re all done, press the Run button.
