Click Default output folder and Set folder structure. I like to do this as all your files not all in one directory. If you don't wish to do this at least specify a Subs folder as there are thousands of sub files extracted.

Scenarist 2.6 or 2.7 is required to mux the video project files.
Set the path to your scenarist executable
C:\Program Files\Sonic\Scenarist\scenarist.exe
CD Label (aka DVD Label) shows in windows explorer. Use _ to separate words.

If you wish to rip subtitles check Rip subtitles
You don't need to specify any subtitle languages but if you do and they're present on the DVD then it'll automatically select them. You can also manually select them right after you press Rip and Convert and the subtitle selection dialog comes up.

CCE Basic $58 you can do 2 pass VBR. I like 3 passes especially with DVD bitrates.


4480MB works great for me and I burn on DVD R.
Blank DVD-R 4,489MB 4,706,074,624 bytes or 4.383GB

Bilinear is default. No resizing is necessary..this will change soon I suspect.


Keep AC3 (5.1 Dolby Digital) and/or DTS. Audio 1 and 2 Priority just select the default audio shown in the Conversion TAB. You can also specify which audio stream(s) you wish manaully.


Keep all defaults. It automatically detects which encoding settings should be used.


If you ripped to an .iso deactivate ripping, otherwise, activate ripping. If you deselect Select new default folder when ripping starts then Rip to folder can be specified. This is ONLY where the ripped vobs will be stored and you must specify under MISC tab the default output folder.

Another burning option is: Double click DiscImage.dvd (4.37GB iso image) click burn button in DVDDecrypter. How to associate .dvd file extension in DVDDecrypter.

If you wish to preview DiscImage.dvd with PowerDVD to test quality before burning, mount it with daemon-tools by choosing Files of type: All Files (*.*) and locate DiscImage.dvd.

HISTORY:
31 august 2004 version 1.2.2 build 3

- Bug fix: Well, the "Do not convert audio (use source audio)" didn't work when doing AVI files with AC3 audio, funny thing is that it should have worked because that's why I made it.
