Home Requirements Ripping the DVD Extracting AC3 Creating *.avs File AC3 to 6 WAVs Converting WMV

Start DVD2AVI, go File > Autoincrement Open or press F3 and select first ripped VOB file of 0.99 GiB

It will automatically add the rest

Option > Preview (F5) --- This will show if the AC3 stream is multi-channel or stereo. If it is DD 2/0 then the audio stream is stereo and you should use Windows Media Audio 9 as the encoding audio format. Go to Audio > Decode to WAV (AC3, LPCM). Elseif the audio stream is DD 3/2 then

Go to Audio > Output method > Demux (AC3, MPA, DTS)

Go to File > Save Project, to save d2v file (MyMovie.d2v) to hard disk. Please wait.

Go to Video > Clip & Resize, and find out how much you have to crop from top and bottom (and from Left and Right if applicable). For this you have to tick the check box (then only DVD2AVI changes the video and acts according to the crop settings you specify) in the Clip & Resize box and slide the top and bottom indicators. Removing the black bars found at the top, bottom and sometimes at the sides of a movie makes the visual quality better. However remember to remove all of the black bars otherwise the increase of the visual quality is quite negligible.

This step is required because it’s hard to find out how much cropping is needed in WME9 (no real time preview in WME9). Make sure the final height and width of the movie are both divisible by 16. For example a movie with width 704 and height 560, are both divisible by 16.
