I just got Womble Mpeg Video Wizard DVD and I am sort of lost. I have been told to use file mode when extracting everything off a dvd disc, so i can use subtitles. I have never seen a guide for this, and I am very new to fan editing, so forgive my lack of experience. Can somebody help me out, starting from the beginning?

What is it you want to do exactly? Do you just want to rip the video and audio files of the main movie to you hdd so you can edit them in womble? Or do you also need deleted scenes or something from the dvd?

I need to get the movie off the disc and onto my computer. I've done this succesfully before using IFO mode, but I want to use subtitles for my star wars re-edits. Right now I want to do TPM. I will also need to get some deleted scenes off disc 2 as well. Basically, I need everything

1) Rip the full DVD in FILE mode. After that RENAME the result folder (I usually add a "_FULL " suffix to its name).
2) Either
a) Ripp the main movie with DVDDecrypter in IFO mode to a DIFFERENT folder
OR
b) Use PGCDemux to demux the main movie VOBs created in step 1 to elementary streams.
3) Run SubRip, open the main movie IFO (!!!) from the folder created in step 1. In the top left corner you can find a pull-down menu containing the list of all available subpicture streams. Select one (probably English - forced). Click on Start. SubRip starts working and it will ask you if it finds a letter that it doesn't understand. Your goal is to "tell him", what's that for a character. After SubRip finishes, save the text file it created (it's in the window below the main window).
4) Now you have
a) VIDEO stream (*.m2v OR *.mpv - depending on what soft did you use) which you have created in step 2a) or 2b).
b) AUDIO streams (*.mpa OR *.ac3 OR *.pcm OR *.wav OR *.dts) which you have created in step 2a) or 2b).
c) Text file (*.srt) containg the text version of the subtitles, created in step 3.
5) If you are low on hdd space, you can delete now files created in step 1.
6) Do whatever editing you like with these files.
7) When you're finished, ask us about the authoring phase :-)

My first fan edit problem! When I go to extract the files in File Mode, I attempt to put it in my hard dive with the most room,the D drive. There is absoloutly nothing else in this, yet I can not put it here. I have 53.6 GB free, but everytime I get to 63 percent in DVD Decrypter it says there is not enough room here. This doesn't make sence and it's really pissing me off!!!!! Anybody got something for me?

Sounds like you might be ripping to a Fat32 drive. If that's the case, can you reformat that partition to NTFS?

If that ain't it, then I have no clue.

One day I found... 10 years had got behind me. Next day was worse.

Episode I is encrypted with standard CSS algorithm, so it should not be a problem for DVD Decrypter. It REALLY sounds like your harddisk problem.
You write nothing else is on your D drive, so I would strictly recomend to reformat the partition using the NTFS file system.
If you don't have any special software for it, you can use the standard Windows formating program, but be sure you DON'T use the "fast formating mode" or how is it called (I have a slovak version of WinXP, so I don't know the original terminology).

It makes no sense though. When i first open DVD Decrypter, is there something I should change when selecting File Mode, I have allot of room, but it just won't go. I'll check it out when I get home. Anyone else? PS. I'm working ooff am Accer Laptop. I have decrypted before and it worked, but I was using A Digital Man's guide for IFO mode. File Mode seems to not be working for me.

Like has been said - the most logical answer is that your computer's hard drive (the one you're trying to write to anyway) is most likely formatted in FAT32 and not NTFS. Are you running Windows XP or an older version of Windows? To find out if the drive is formatted using FAT32; go to "My Computer", right-click on the drive you want to rip to and click Properties. There should be something that says "File System:", whatever it says there is what the drive's formatted with.

Now, the reason you can't use FAT32 is that it can't handle really large files. I thought it could handle files up to 2GB and if you're ripping in IFO mode it shouldn't be a problem. If you're ripping in ISO mode... well then it won't work because most DVDs are more than 2GB.

i checked and it said the file system is FAT32. Does this mean I can't do it? Is there any way to change it to NTFS? This really sucks, anyways thanks for the helps guys!

What Windows do you have?

If you have XP (or NT, or 2000), you can make it NTFS, no sweat.

If you have Windows98, or ME, then you are stuck with Fat32, (you can still create a file that's about 4 Gigabytes, but you can't copy a file that's more than 2 Gigabytes. Some programs can't work with files over 2 Gigs, either).


I just ripped a US Phantom Menace Extras Disk, to a Fat32 disc, using File Mode with "Split to File", and it worked.

I tried it with "None", and it still worked. (The files were still well under 4 Gigs).

I dont' know if you need to have an un-split file for SubRip, or not.


But you must have NTFS for regular editing. If you split files in IFO mode, then Womble can't fix chunks any after the first one.


In any case, it sounds like you may have a bad spot on D:, and Dvd-Decrypter thinks you are running out of space.

So you need to scan D: for errors:



For Windows 98:

Right-click your D: drive.

Select "Properties".

Click the "Tools" tab.

Click the "Error Checking" button.

Put a checkmark in "Thorough"
"(performs Standard test and scans disk for errors)".

Punch "OK".

It will take a very long time. Let it run overnight if it has to.


For Windows XP:

Right-click your D: drive.

Select "Properties".

Click the "Tools" tab.

Click the "Error Checking" button.

Put a check-mark in "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors".

Punch OK.

This will take a while, but only a fraction as long as it would on 98.

One day I found... 10 years had got behind me. Next day was worse.
