Automated ripping?

waldemar

Hi,
Love the capabilities of DVDfab. One thing I haven't figured out yet (and if it's not in the capabilities, would suggest as a new feature): using DVDfab as an automated ripper. I'm looking to go to folder (VIDEO_TS), and do something like RIPIT on the Mac.

Here's what I've got happening: I've successfully set DVDfab up so that when I insert the DVD it notices and starts up. I then have to click "start" (would prefer that to happen without a click), and when the rip is done, I have to close, finish, and exit DVDfab. Instead, I'd like it to continue to eject the disk, as it does now, and then accept the next disk and go to town.

Any advice?
thanks!

After it analyzes the dvd the screen pops up so you can remove anything that you don"t want it to burn. If you have 2 drives you can set it up to rip and burn in 1 step with image burn in the guides an tips section of dvd fab. Hope this helps

What if you are just inserting a DVD to VIEW only ?

Have you been sipping seaweed juice ?

Welcome to the forum .. :D

You use a batch file to do this. Refer to:

If you only have 1 drive enter 1 drive in drive string. You will have to double click the desktop icon for each rip or series of rips if you have more than 1 drive. This should work with 6.2.1.5. I need to test this and update the app note.

You may be able to trigger the batch file as soon as you load the DVD. I have not looked at that but it should be possible. This would avoid even clicking the icon but it may create other problems.

Thanks, Bill - almost there! The .bat file, amended for my particulars, is working well. All that's missing is some way of having the batch file autostart itself when I insert the disk (this is on Windows 7, btw). I've checked the autoplay options in Control Panel, but everything there is related to the normal DVD stuff (dvdfab, dvdplayer, etc.).

If someone knows where to add another option in the registry, in this case to run a .bat file when a disk is inserted, that'd be great! Otherwise I'll go poking around to see what I can find.

(And to AlienX9 - please read posts before replying: I'm setting up an automated ripper, so viewing files would not be an issue. No idea what seaweed juice would be, anyway.)

cheers,
waldemar

IF it is okay to comment, I would prefer it exactly as it is, or IF you change it PLEASE at least have the option of either way. :D

When I copy I like the waiting to press start as this gives me as much time as I like/need to view the preview, then when I am happy it IS okay, I press start.

Also at the end of the burn now it allows you the option of burning another DVD of the same title, and of course saving the files should you want to by NOT clicking finish.

IF you ONLY did it the other way you would lose all these options. :(

NOT whining, just trying to help. :D

I don't know what is wrong with you? :(

This Member proposed some major changes to how DVDFab works, I was replying to the thread pointing out that I for one, as a fully paid up user would like to leave it as is, OR as I carefully explained have the choice, and also this Member may not have realised the benefits of the way it is now.

What is wrong with that??? :confused:

I thought the whole idea of this Forum was to help others??? :confused:

This is a help thread about bat file and command lines that can be added to DVDFab and is in no way asking to change DVDFab for all users. This member just wants help for what he needs to do which is possible. Now if you read the entire thread you would know that

I was just trying to help, should have known better. :(

I just read it all again, and it still reads to me that is what they were proposing. :(

I will no longer offer advice or help here as it is never appreciated. :(

Don't bother banning me for helping, I will not be back. :mad:
