Anyone has experienced with converting DVD -> DIVX with Dobly Digital 5.1 or DTS??
I've tried nero 7 (the Nero Digital thingy), which is useless as it just hangs when reading the DVD!
Then i tried some packaged GUI front-end (Knotguardian? can't remember the name), with things like VirtualDub and a lot of other software in conjunction.
It's a very UN-straightfoward way of doing and frankly I'm not sure i know what i'm doing even if i did managed to make the AVI file.
1st attempt - something wrong, the AVI got frame missing and jumps here and there.
2nd attempt - better, but now the screen seems to be slightly horizontally compressed like 16:9 kena squash a little. The thing is, i managed to get Dobly Digital...but only 2.0, not 5.1!!!
This is becoz i'm thinking of converting all my fav DVD movie, throw it into a PC as file server and stream it over to my XBOX for viewing.
So far, playing this on the XBOX works and my amp regconized the Dobly Digital signal (the DD logo lights up on my amp

), but only 2.0.
Any really EASY way to convert DVD->DIVx with DD5.1 or DTS??
1)Use DVDDecrpter and decrypt all the necessary files (the software will automatically select for you)
2)Use DGIndex and save the d2v file and demux the video <---2nd way, 1st way is to use the d2v via avisynth (better)
3)Open VirtualDubMod, and open the avs file (if you use avisynth) or straight away open the m2v file
4)Encode either to DivX, Xvid, H264 and etc to your liking
5) Once finish, remember the demuxed audio, choose the DTS or DD 5.1 and mux it in with the AVI using VirtualDubMod or AVIMuxGUI
And there you have it, a compressed file + DTS/DD 5.1 audio track. Hope it helps
