Just curious what software professional users use to make copies of DVDs into one continuous file. I have tried handbrake. I copied the file and converted it to mp4. I could see the video working on my computer but when I connected my TV up to via LAN , I could play the file but it kept starting and stopping but on the computer the file looked fine. I would prefer to convert the VOB to DIVx , but as I keep saying in one continous file. How do you do this? What programs are professional users doing this with?

Thanks new member

For 1:1 quality copy of the movie there is always MakeMKV, that even has some ability to crack protections. Just open up the dvd/bd and select which audio and subs you want to copy with the video. Then maybe fix it up a bit with MKVToolnix, like removing flags to have your software-/player do all of that.

If you want to change subtitle clut (when source is dvd), then copy the dvd with AnyDVD (or something like it) to harddrive in folder-format. "Open full domain" with DVDSubEdit and make the changes, click apply to all, and then save it. After this, open it up with MakeMKV and do as described above.

ps. That your movies keeps stopping might have something to do with the network setup. Looks to me like some sort of connection timeout. Anyhow, this was the 1:1 tip but GL whatever you choose to do :)

Hi JanOve, no the time outs are nothing to do with my Network, other video's work fine. I just created a DVD to AVI file using freemake. Other user recommended it and it done the Job. One continuous AVI it worked on my TV via LAN now I just have to play with the setting to make it 852x480 for a 42' Plasma. Thanks for your suggestions I may right those programs anyway just to see if there is a way to speed up the process.

Just a thought.
If you continue to have trouble, try putting one of the "problem".avi files on a usb memory stick and then play the movie from the USB memory stick.
Cheers

Ok, so its only few movies (of many you’ve made) that keep on stopping then..? Thats great, because research shows that network-related problems makes men go bald.... :)

MakeMKV takes as long as it takes your pc to copy (selected parts of) a dvd/bd to harddrive. So that is copied, remuxed, and watching it in your sofa within 10 minutes I guess. Something like that.

Let software do all upscale, never hardcode that.

It also very good for converting basically every file type from one to another especially avi to vob if freemake does not work give Win AVI a go mate
