Settings
for the Advanced Input Section of the DVD Ripper window
Output
frame rate:
Frame rate of the output video file. 25 (PAL) or 23.97, 29.97 (NTSC).
Warning: this
value is not automatically set. If you choose a different frame
rate from the actual input rate, a conversion will be performed
to obtain the selected output frame rate; but you should avoid converting
NTSC to PAL, or PAL to NTSC .
Default is : 29.97 (NTSC)
Detect
24Fps:
Detect automatically for a 24Hz progressive NTSC movie.
Default is : Yes
Force
24Fps:
Force the movie source to be recognized as a 24Hz progressive NTSC.
This flag is in effect only if ¡®detect 24fps¡¯ is also checked. (Use
this option if you think that the 24Hz detection is not working).
Default is : No
Subtitle
Offset:
Vertical offset of the subtitle expressed in pixels.
This value is automatically adjusted if the subtitle extends beyond
the screen.
Default is : 0
Original
color:
Preserves original color of the IFO file.
Uncheck it if your subtitle is too dim.
Default is : Yes
DeMacroVision:
Remove macro vision protection from the movie.
Default is : Yes
Key
Search:
Mode for CSS key search (the mode 0 works fine in 99% of cases).
0 - Search a key one time when starting the ripping process
1 - Search a new key at each VOB-ID
2 - Search a new key at each CELL-ID
3 - Search a new key at each VOB/CELL-ID combination
4 - Disabled
Default is : 0
Audio
48KHz to 44.1 KHz:
48KHz downsampling mode.
0 : Normal mode (fastest)
1 : High quality (slower)
2 : Export AC3
Exports the source AC3 to an AC3 audio
file along with the exported AVI file. See the ¡°output settings¡±
Help File for details.
3 : 44.1KHz (no conversion)
Select this option when you do not
want to make an audio rate conversion (when you already have a 44.1KHz
source stream and want a 44.1KHz output rate).
4 : 48.0KHz (no conversion)
Same purpose as choice 3 except refers
to 48.0KHz.
Default is : Normal mode
Volume:
Gain
of the audio output.
No normalization is performed; so, if the value is set too high,
clipping of the audio signal may occur. A value of 1 can not generate
distortion (crackling), but the output sound may be very low. The
default value produces a good volume for most DVDs.
You can make a few clips of the movie where you know the volume
is high, and adjust this value in order to get a satisfactory volume.
You can also use the sound normalizer tool (in Tools menu)
to find an optimum volume.
Default is : 3
Dolby
Surround:
Enables Dolby Surround sound downmixing.
Preserves a better sound in 5.1 FX stereo mode
Default is: Enabled
iDCT:
Inverse Discrete Cosine Transform routines (also includes motion
compensation).
MMX is fast and suitable for most CPUs. FPU selection always gives
the best quality.
Default is : Auto detected
Overlap:
When the output volume size has been reached, the Overlap value
is used to determine the length in seconds of the overlapping segment
portion that successively created volumes will contain. (This setting
has no effect in custom chapter splitting). For example: If Overlap=10,
and the first volume created ends at a time of 1:10:25, then the
next volume created will start at the time 1:10:15
Default is : 0 sec
Audio
Video Synchronization:
Re-synchronize video and audio periodically. (not always necessary).
Default is : No
Save
your DVD drive:
Create a temporary buffer to avoid having the DVD drive being switched
on/off too frequently.
If you use a RAM buffer you can also disable virtual memory to obtain
an even faster ripping speed. The file will be written in your Windows
temporary directory (TMP environment variable).
Default is : 10MB, Location: RAM
Luminance
filter:
Adjusts the brightness level.
The Y plane is the luminance plane (in YUV format). Applies the
formula: Gain*Y + Offset on the Y plane. Gain is an 8.8 fixed point
value. (0 = 0.0 ; 128 = 1.0 ; 256 = 2.0 ). Therefore, (using an
offset value of 0) a luminance filter value of 128 does not change
the brightness level; whereas a value of 256 will double the brightness
level. A value less than 128 darkens the movie.
Default is : Not enabled, (equivalent to Filter value: 128, Offset:
0).
DeMacroVision:
Remove macro vision protection from the movie.
Default is : Yes
Deinterlace
Filter:
Use this when your source image is interlaced and you want to remove
the interlacing to produce a progressive NTSC movie.
Explanation: each frame of a 30fps movie consists of 2 separate
fields, each field consisting of half the total number of scan lines
for an entire movie frame -- one field is referred to as the even
field, and the other is referred to as the odd field (or, they may
be referred to as the lower field, upper field, or as the primary
field, secondary field) -- so a 30fps interlaced movie would contain
60 fields. After deinterlacing, there will still be 30 frames (but
only 30 ¡°fields¡±, each ¡°field¡± now containing the total number of
scan lines). Note the following warning.
Warning: if you explicitly
set the deinterlace option to, for example, the odd field, and the
video uses the even field as the primary or dominant field, the
deinterlacing will produce a ¡®jerky¡¯ motion. You can experiment
and just make a clip of 10 images to see if you have used the correct
field as the dominant field.
Interpolate mode: interpolates the even field (you lose a bit of
quality for SVCD, but this option always works)
Default is : Interpolate
