I have used DVDFab to rip many movies to my hard drive using the DVD to DVD option, sometimes just the main movie...sometimes the entire disc. I am now getting ready to rip my music DVDs, first I plan on using DVD to DVD to rip the entire disc to preserve menu function. I would then like to rip some specific chapters from each DVD as a chapter in a music DVD is generally a single song, I would keep these files in a best of or favorites folder on my computer so that I could play several artists and songs in a series. I will be playing files using a Popcorn Hour which plays about any type of file. I have more hard drive space than time so I would prefer a method that doesn't envolve conversion.
I have figured out how to use the Start TIme/End function to select just one chapter but would like to know if I can select multiple chapters in one pass rather than having to do this multiple times...for instance now I can select chapter 7 to 7 and transfer just that chapter but can I select 5 to 5, 7 to 7, and 10 to 10 and transer all three files at once? I haven't figured out a way to do this.
Also what file type would be the best to output? I have tried VOB as it is very quick and seems to be a transfer rather than a convertion. It plays on my PCH but when asking about this in the PCH forum I got the following reply
"NO No NO ... NEVER keep just the VOB file ...
Many companies use the skip feature that allows them to move over junk parts of vob files (for poor mans copy protection) ... with out the video_ts.ifo to tell the player what to skip the videos might not play ...
This type of vob structure is used a lot by Sony and Disney DVDs..."
Does DVDFab account for this? Is there a better file type to output to that doesn't involve a convertion? Is there a better way to acomplish what I am trying to do?
