Off Topic Discussion:: tv+250gb
hi, iv,e had this for a few weeks and only just looking into it properly, i bought it as a media recorder for recording from component source for better quality recordings.i thought it would act as an instant recorder so was immediately dissapointed to see what a fuss it is to get into recording mode,i then found that a hdmi to component lead i bought doesnt work from a sky hd box nor does a scart to component(obviously not the fault of the tv+ box)i have tried svideo from 2 sources(with output set to svid on source box)but cannot get a colour picture from any of the tv+ outputs.(so this prob is down to the tv+.) unless i select the recording source as composite.i networked it ok with twonky media manager on my pc and playback is quite good but there are lipsync probs. my previous instant recorder/ stand alone media player is a zengo 500gb, this only has composite in/out so by the time its gone through a hub(3 different sky/freeview boxes)the quality isnt great.finally i already have the cinema plug in for my 504 player so have tried loading that on tv+ without success.. any input from other tv+ users welcome.

Free and helpful Application to backup and Copy DVDs [by johnoo8712]

Wed, 15 Apr 2009 23:24:18 -0400

Off Topic Discussion:: Free and helpful Application to backup and Copy DVDs
Feel frustrated when you are trying to copy your favorites DVDs to hard disk on your PC? All genuine DVDs are encrypted with Content Scrambling System or simply called CSS protection. Want to enjoy the movie in a more free way? I would like to share a helpful and powerful freeware with you, DVD Shrink. If you want not only the DVD video back up, but also have the need to convert the DVD to AVI, MPEG, WMV, 3GP etc, you also need a video converter.

DVD Shrink is a freeware DVD transcoder for Microsoft Windows which facilitates decrypting and backing up DVD movies, and can automatically re-compress video, to as little as 39% of its original size, depending on the aspect ratio of the original DVD (with a corresponding loss in quality) to allow it to fit on a standard DVD�R (W), a Dual-Layer DVD+R, or any user-defined custom size.
Featuring a decryption algorithm, DVD Shrink is able to remove the CSS copy protection, User operation prohibition, and also allows the copy to be either made region-free or set for any region code.
Here is a simple guide about how to use this versatile, smart yet particle DVD Shrink.

Step 1 Importing DVD movies.
[IMG]http://www.pavtube.com/images/promotion/dvd_shrink_1.jpg[/IMG]
Click on the button of �Open Disk�, a list of all available DVD drives on your computer will be shown. Select the one containing the movie.

If you have already ripped the DVD in file mode (thus you have a collection of .IFO, .BUP and .VOB files on your HD) press the Open Files button to browse and select the folder where your VIDEO_TS directory resides.

Once you've selected the source disc, or IFO file, DVD Shrink will perform a quick analyzing pass over all the video items.
[IMG]http://www.pavtube.com/images/promotion/dvd_shrink_4.jpg[/IMG]
This bar indicates the size of your project. If it contains a red part, your project is too large and won't fit onto a DVD�R disc. By default, DVD Shrink automatically selects a compression ratio to make your movie fit onto the allocated space.

Now you are able to see how the DVD video consists of, generally, there are three main categories, Menus, Main Movie and Extras.
[IMG]http://www.pavtube.com/images/promotion/dvd_shrink_5.jpg[/IMG]
On the right column, you are able to choose video compression, audio track and subpicture. Or you can right click the preview window to choose an audio track.
[IMG]http://www.pavtube.com/images/promotion/dvd_shrink_6.jpg[/IMG]
After you have finished all the settings, you can choose to decrypt and backup the videos. In this way, you can make a functionally identical backup copy without changes with this �Full Disk� mode. You can also choose the mode of �re-author� to choose specifically which DVD elements such as Main Title, audio tracks and subtitles, and Special Features to retain on the "shrunken" DVD.

After you have got the backup DVD, you are free to copy the DVD or convert the DVD to video that you can play on your iPod, iPhone, PSP, Apple TV, Zune or Creative Zen player etc. And to achieve so, you need a video converter to convert the decrypted and shrunken DVD to videos. You can try [URL=http://www.pavtube.com/video_converter/]Pavtube Video Converter[/URL]. It is easy to use and it converts fast, what�s more, it allows users to crop, trim and even do effect settings. Besides,Pavtube video converter is 50% discounted and you can buy Pavtube video converter only for no more than $15.

You may think this is a little bit of complicated, and you can try all in one DVD Ripper, take [URL=http://www.pavtube.com/dvd_ripper/]Pavtube DVD Ripper[/URL] for example, and you can rip the DVD to video of whatever files types you need, but the trouble is you cannot back the DVD videos, and thus you are not able to copy the DVD to another disk. By the way, Pavtube has just launched a discount this week and all Pavtube Products are 50% discounted, Pavtube DVD Ripper is of no exception, meaning that you can buy a DVD Ripper just with no more than $18.

So, to sum up, you need to choose software according to what you need and what you want exactly.

Common problems about a DVD Ripper and how to solve them [by jima520]

Tue, 14 Apr 2009 04:49:59 -0400

Off Topic Discussion:: Common problems about a DVD Ripper and how to solve them
DVD is short for Digital versatile disk and was initially intended to substitute for VHS tapes, since it is inconvenient to carry it about people. And it quickly came up as portable data storage device just as expected. As DVD is more and more popular, DVD ripper extends its market and plays more and more important role in our daily life.

So below are some common problems about a DVD Ripper and how to solve the problems in an appropriate way. I just would like to list Pavtube DVD Ripper(For Windows) for instance.

1. Do I have to install codec for conversion?
You do not have to install codec, as the ripper has been bundled with the decoders and encoders to support the conversion. However, if you want to play specific format on your computer, you shall install the related player to play it.

2. I converted DVD to XVID Video (*.avi). There is only sound when playing in Windows Media Player, no image.
Please make sure you have installed XviD codec on your computer. It is free for you to download and install the XviD codec. Then, you can watch XviD video with Window Media Player.

3. Among the formats in the ripper, which is the better encoder to keep video quality?
To keep the video quality without compression, it is recommended that you use the profile "Lossless uncompressed avi". Generally, formats like WMV, MP4, MOV, 3GP, MPG has been highly compressed, and some of the frames will be lost during the compression. AVI is the less compressed format. With the same settings as other formats, the AVI files will keep more data and perform completely as the original files.

4. How to speed up the conversion?
You can click on the "Settings" button, and then choose a lower video bit rate, a lower frame rate, a smaller dimension for the video size, such as 320x240, 176x144, etc. However, the settings will influence the output quality. Please choose the most convenient settings for your conversion.

5. An error message pops up, about AVW object for encoding.
This error occurs when the output folder can not be written with data any more. Please check the properties of the output folder, and the disk space of the driver, which the output folder locates. Alternatively, you can choose another folder for the output files.

6. I get the error message: The DVD cannot be imported or the IFO file cannot be imported.
Please make sure the following points:
1. The IFO file is in the same folder with the VOB file.
2. The names of the files follow the DVD naming convention. The folder should be VIDEO_TS. There is VIDEO_TS.IFO, VTS_01_0.IFO, VTS_01_1.IFO, VTS_01_0.VOB, VTS_01.0.DUP, etc.
3. The IFO file or the VOB file has not been destroyed. To test this, you can try if the video can play on DVD player.

7. I want to change the settings for the file to play on my iPod, what kinds of parameters can I change?
Select the file you want to convert, and click on the "Settings" button. Choose the profile for iPod, and then you can change the video codec, video bit rate, video size, frame rate, audio bit rate, and sample rate according to the iPod supported video formats. The following is the settings for the fifth generation iPod:
H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per sec., Baseline Low-Complexity Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48 kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
H.264 video, up to 768 Kbps, 320 by 240 pixels, 30 frames per sec., Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48 kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per sec., Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48 kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
If you want to get the audio file, you can choose AAC, MP3, and WAV as iPod music with sample rate from 16 Kbps to 320 Kbps.

You want convert Audrey Hepburn to your hand? [by harvey438]

Off Topic Discussion:: You want convert Audrey Hepburn to your hand?
If you own a portable device that you can and you want to watch videos, movies burnt on your DVD on it, you need a DVD ripper. This includes devices like the iPod Touch, iPod Nano, iPod Video, iPhone, Zune, PSP and others. If you want to store your DVD movies on your computer or a hard drive, you need DVD ripping software too.

With a DVD ripping software, you will be able to rip and convert your DVD discs to a format that is compatible with some of the most popular portable media players available, such as the previously mentioned iPod, Zune, PSP and others.

Then you would ask how to choose a DVD Ripper, since there are so many DVD ripping software if you search the item through search engine. Here I would like to share the tips I have collected with you.

First things first, the quality exported video. The most important thing is that whether you can get the output video with your expected quality. And the accompanying factor is the profile the DVD ripping software has, whether it has enough options in the profile setting or profile list for your options. If it has plenty of profile options, it can save you a lot of time on setting the parameters. If you need to output high quality video, I suggest you try Pavtube DVD Ripper, or Moyea DVD Ripper.

The second thing is the ripping speed. You want a program that will be able to rip your DVD videos to the right format as fast as possible. Besides, you would not want to wait a whole day just to rip one movie, would you?

Third, you should try to look for a program that will be able to rip DVDs in batch mode. A batch mode allows you to rip just certain chapters of the DVD. Or, if you are ripping a DVD that contains TV series, you will be able to tip only the episodes you want to rip. You might also only want to rip the DVD audio and not the video.

Fourth, the usability of the ripper, in other words, whether it is convenient to use. If it is too complicated to operate, and the instruction is confusing then you might want to kick it out. Look for a DVD ripper program that you can operate it with ease.

Fifth, whether the developer provides quality customer support and a free trial version. In the best case scenario, you will be able to try out the program before you buy and you will be able to get email support if you need it. And if it is possible, you�d better find a trial out version without water mark on the exported video.

The last but not the least, if you need to Rip DVD to one format or to videos that are supported by one device, for example, iPod only, you can choose DVD to iPod Ripper, and it would be less costly.

Hope above information could be of some help to you.

Great Surprise: Free convert any protected DVDs to video or at a discount price [by Annie Behrman]

Off Topic Discussion:: Great Surprise: Free convert any protected DVDs to video or at a discount price
I often said that there is no such an application that can be defined as all-in-one, or one-step to satisfy all your needs. Take DVD ripper for example, there are DVD ripping software that prevent you from importing DVD videos with CSS or CPPM protection for to fight against copy piracy. This is right, but causes some trouble for users who want to convert DVD videos to AVI, MPEG, and WMV etc. There are always alternatives to help ourselves out. �Actually, Many American legal experts believe that under United States' Federal law, making a backup copy of a DVD-Video is legal under fair use protection meaning backup copies made with software such as DVD Decrypter are in fact legal but that distribution of the software used to make them is illegal. So today, I would like to tell you how to deal with DVD with protection legally. The worst thing might be that you cannot import the DVD videos with protection with the DVD Ripping software you have bought, in other words, the DVD ripper you own cannot decrypt the DVD movie. Got mad about this, right? No worries. You can take a detour. DVD decrypter is such an free application that is intended and dedicated to removes Content Scrambling System (CSS), region codes, and user operation prohibition. Before we start DVD Decrypter requires that you have an ASPI layer installed. If you get an error message like "ASPI Initialization failed" upon starting up DVD Decrypter you have to install an ASPI layer before you can continue. Here is the interface of this application. <img alt="� " src="http://pavtube.com/images/promotion/dvd_decrypter_1.jpg" /> After importing the DVD files, start to decrypt the movie by clicking on the dropdown option of �Decrypt�. <img alt="� " src="http://pavtube.com/images/promotion/dvd_decrypter_2.jpg" /> Now that you have got decrypted movies, you are free to import them to a video converter, and convert it to AVI, MPEG, WMV, or iPod, iPhone, Zune, PSP, Apple TV or other widescreen TV videos. I suggest you to try <a href="http://www.pavtube.com/video_converter/">Pavtube video converter</a>. The reason I recommend this is that it cannot only convert VOB files to AVI, MPEG etc, but also it can convert decrypted VOB files to videos that can be played on iPod, Zune, iPhone, Apple TV, PSP, Creative Zen, Pocket PC, Mobile Phone, Xbox 360, PDA, etc. In addition, it provides powerful editing functions, such as video effect adjusting, trimming, and cropping. The most distinguished thing is that it converts super fast. By the way, you can buy Pavtube video converter with half price since all Pavtube products are 50% discounted right now. Fancy you can buy a versatile video converter only with no more than $15. It is a real value. <img alt="� " src="http://pavtube.com/images/promotion/dvd_decrypter_4.jpg" /> �As I have said, there is no need to feel guilty if you have got DVD Ripper that is able to decrypt and rip the movie to video you need at the same time, e.g. <a href="http://www.pavtube.com/dvd_ripper/">Pavtube DVD Ripper</a>. All you need to do is to make sure that you don�t use this kind of software for commercial use. And with this DVD ripper, you don�t need DVD decrypter and it saves you a lot of efforts. What�s more, Pavtube DVD Ripper is 50% discounted and you can buy one just with no more than $18. And they provide free upgrading for a life long time. <img alt="� " src="http://pavtube.com/images/promotion/dvd_decrypter_3.jpg" />�
