Rx-8 Dvd

Hey guy, I've just pick-up a japanese RX-8 magazine. I don't understand Japanese, but I think what the magazine does, is basically gave a very indepth introduction to the car itself. It also come with a DVD with 40mins of introduction to the car. Again there are all in japanese. I would probably try to scan some of the pages (68pgs in total) and see if some of our Japanese on this forum could help.

My Question is how do I rip the DVD into mpegs? If once I could do that I can chop them up into smaller bits for downloads.

Any suggestion?

If the DVD is copy-protected, you'll need a CSS decoder to copy the VOB files off the DVD and onto your harddrive in decrypted form. I like to use SmartRipper to do this. You can test for encryption by trying to copy a VOB file using Explorer. If you are able to, then simply copy the entire VIDEO_TS folder onto your harddrive, and you can skip the ripping step.

Then use a VOB reader to extract and compress the video to another format, typically AVI using DivX compression or MPEG-1 (I use FlaskMPEG for this). You can find all these tools (and probably newer/better ones) at www.doom9.org.

Good luck! Look forward to seeing this.

GOODNESS Sounds so complicated. I'm a PC idiot, I uses MAC, hope I could figure this out...

Hi,

Use Forty-Two to rip the DVD to any format (DIVX, VCD etc.). It runs in Mac OS X (not Mac OS 9).
