hi there. I have a bunch of 1080p movies downloaded and I need a ripper that will encode to full 1080p and burn to a dual layer dvd 9. I have been using covertXtodvd but the output is only standard res.....is there a way to improve this and what tools would I need....I am sure I am not the only person out there that would love to see an easy guide or help from you chaps with this. Many thanks for your time and help in advance. I did try to search on my own but came up blank.....
Wow that's pretty amazing that they actually have a ripper for that.. i would think they wouldnt because it must be so hard to downgrade the 1080 to a reg. dvd format. kudos to the people that made it
The ripper is a bit of a misnomer, you will still need to rip the disc using another application such as DVDFAb HD or AnyDVD HD. Ripbot is a graphical user interface that works with different video applications such as X.264, avisynth, Haali splitter. and other to simplify the tasks of transcoding video types, or even compressing Bl-Ray to a type 5 or type 9 burnable media. A lot of what is on some BD discs can be discarded. For example the main BD movie ot 10,000 BC is about 17.8 Gigabytes, but like all movies there are unwanted sound tracks that can be removed and in many cases those sound tracks are in HD audio as well as standard DTS or DD. By removing all of the extra sound tracks we can lower the size by as much as to 2 Gigabytes and then we even have the option of compressing the sound to lower bitrate AC3 5:1. Now we are probably looking at a 50% compression rate or more, but fortunately H/X.264 is far more efficient that Mpeg 2 and can handle lower bitrates and higher compression with less ill effect on the video. There is a learning curve but if you put some time into it you'll get it.
