Ripping/encoding/releasing Q & A
Ripping/encoding/releasing Q & A 'index': Click on the link to go to the according postgrInd wrote: I wanted to start a thread for benefit of reference, that users may find useful. There are a few standards going around p2p these days, but a site like this (that works with a certain type of entertainment) can use all the help it can get to build up solid collections of, in this case, bad films.
So many fans out there own/possess really great bad films on VHS/DVD, but have no idea how to get things out and up. For one thing, the lack of Chuck Norris movies on p2p is a travesty.
So many some of the experienced members here can post some tips/tricks/suggestions/standards found to be "proper".
I have many 2 cents of my own to give, to be sure, and my own standards. I feel that soemtimes, 'scene rips' are a major let down, as these peeps should know better.
Lets discuss some basics, and I'll add to this first post as the plot unfolds. Okay? Go!

Made into a sticky, should prove very useful indeed
Anyway, yeah the absence of Chuck Norris on p2p is a blasphemy of highest degree.
Now don't know if I understood everything completely, but I guess we should make advices for programs too?
Well I think that Gknot is obviously the best program to use, and not at all complicated as people might think.
Anyway, because of all the shitty rips on the net, my stadards went low, but one of the most important things I find these: Xvid codec and good croping unlike the horrid Invasion USA rip
But I just woke up and am all confused and stuff

Aspect ratios
As posted @ Doom9.net:
Quote: Aspect ratios A DVD video stream is 720x480, right? But 720/480 = 1.5 which is an impossible aspect ratio for a movie. And what about full screen, widescreen, anamorphic, etc? Many people are unfamiliar with these terms and are unsure about how to resize. This article tries to explain some of these mysteries. DAR - or how to make the DVD look right Each MPEG-2 Video stream has a DAR (Display Aspect Ratio) flag. The flag tells the player for what kind of target display the stream has been encoded. There's 4 values: 1:1, 4:3, 16:9 and 2.11:1. The first and last one are not terribly important since there's no TVs having these aspect ratios. A video stream having a DAR of 16:9 is designated for a 16:9 TV, but that doesn't mean it can't be used for 4:3 TVs. The same applies to a DAR of 4:3. Now let's have a look at a real example: Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, R1. As this is an NTSC disc the video stream has a resolution of 720x480 (PAL discs have 720x576.. but everything explained in this article also applies for these streams, but the resizing takes the vertical resolution 576 into account). This disc contains 2 versions of the movie: widescreen version and standard version. Standard (also called fullscreen on this disc) is the standard for a 4:3 TV, that is a picture that fills the whole screen, whereas widescreen in this case means 16:9. The expression widescreen should not be used in that way since there is 2 different widescreen variants: letterboxed widescreen and anamorphic widescreen, both of which will be illustrated a little farther down the line. After ripping you can load the VOBs from the widescreen side into DVD2AVI and you'll get an output which looks like the following: This looks a bit strange doesn't it? Of course, it's 720x480 which gives an aspect ratio of 1:1.5 whereas the movie actually has an aspect ratio of 1:1.85. When you press F5 for preview the statistic window will tell you that this is a 16:9 stream. When you watch the movie in your software DVD player what you'll get is this: This looks better, right? People are not longer squeezed and thin, they look the way they looked on the big screen. What has happened here? The studio has made an anamorphic widescreen transfer. It took the full frame from the camera (as shown on the left), then horizontally squeezed it to fit the resolution of the DVD (the first picture). Then they set the 16:9 DAR flag which tells the player to unsqueeze the picture again. Mathematically seen this works as follows: We have a 720x480 MPEG-2 stream. You multiply the vertical resolution with the aspect ratio (480*16/9=853) which gives you the horizontal resolution for a properly stretched movie. So the 720x480 stream will be stretched horizontally to 853x480 during playback. This allows to use the full vertical resolution of the DVD which retains maximum quality. When you encode for a PC based format (like DivX) you'll have to first unqueeze the picture and then resize that to your desired resolution (this would correspond to a stream having a 1:1 DAR). Formats for standalone players like VCD and SVCD work differently, since they too have a DAR flag (4:3 or 16:9, where the latter won't work properly on all known players). So let's take a look at what has to be done here. The first step is to get the correct aspect ratio at the DVD resolution. In order to do that the picture has to be resized as can be seen below: Compare this with the first and 2nd picture. You'll see that it has the same resolution as the first one but the same (correct) aspect ratio as the 2nd one. This process of taking a frame and resizing it to the DVD resolution while retaining the correct aspect ratio is called letterboxing. As you can see we use less of the available vertical resolution. This is ideal for 4:3 TVs since there the picture can be displayed as is, whereas when you have a 16:9 DVD the player will first have to perform this letterboxing transfer (which involves a slight, albeit unnoticable, quality loss). If you haven't properly set up your DVD player (4:3 TV = set the TV format to 4:3 or 4:3 letterboxed, 16:9 TV: set the TV format to 16:9) there will be no letterboxing and the picture will look squished as in the first screenshot. What is important to notice here is that your playback device does letterboxing for a 16:9 disc when watching it on a 4:3 TV. Now when we're encoding such a stream for VCD and SVCD this process has to be done as well. Unfortunately the only encoder which supports to select a DAR of the input stream is TMPG (set source aspect ratio in the advanced settings, plus video arrange mode to full screen while preserving the aspect ratio). When you don't go thru TMPG you'll have to come up with another way of properly letterboxing. One way is VirtualDub where you resize to a smaller resolution than your target resolution and then add black bars (hence the resizing parameters in the CCE guide which look very strange at first sight). There are also DVDs which have a DAR of 4:3 but contain widescreen picture. In fact, it should say letterboxed widescreen. These DVDs have been mastered as just explained. When you watch these DVDs on a 16:9 TV the picture will both have to be stretched horizontally and vertically whereas when having an anamorphic widescreen picture the picture will only have to be stretched horizontally, giving a larger vertical resolution to work with and therefore a better picture. In the early DVD days letterboxed widescreen transfers were quite popular, especially amongst US studios, whereas in Europe where 16:9 TVs are more popular, 16:9 has been something of a standard from the very beginning. Fortunately nowadays most DVDs are 16:9, and only some stubborn directors and cheap studios refuse to have a new 16:9 transfer created. Now as you might know the resolution of both VCD and SVCD is not 4:3 even though the video streams have DAR 4:3. But SVCD is 480x480 and if you apply the same calculation rule as above (480*4/3= 640) the output resolution is 640x480 which corresponds to 4:3. Note that the video is stored horizontally squeezed on the disc, and will be unsqueezed during playback. So in fact, if you take the full frame from the (S)VCD it doesn't have the right aspect ratio, which is the exact same situation as with a DVD. Obiously the same rules appy for PAL SVCDs (576*4/3 = 768 so after strecthing you have a 768x576 picture) and VCDs. An important thing to keep in mind here is that the Windows Media Player does not know about DARs usually (this might be different depending on what MPEG-2 filters you have installed) so it might happen that it plays your SVCD MPG as 480x480 and it looks squished again. But don't worry.. players with SVCD support will stretch it properly and giving you the correct aspect ratio. Pan & Scan transfers Now a look at a sad chapter in video history: Since many TVs today are still in 4:3 format many films are still being released as pan&scan copies, or in other words: they fill the screen. 16:9 TV owners hate 4:3 movies with all of their hearts, and after reading this I hope you'll never again buy such a crappy transfer since basically what's going on is crippling the video. Fortunately in the DVD age these kind of transfers are less and less common, despite DVD going mainstream and cutting into the rental biz. Let's have a look at our source frame again. What is being done in a pan&scan transfer is that a part from the source frame, having an aspect ratio of 1:1.33 or 4:3 is being cut out. This is symbolized by the red square in the picture. This "window" is not fixed but flexible. So when the actor moves to the right border the window can follow him up to a certain extent. This is the pan part of pan&scan. In certain cases the window might also zoom in on the frame, hence the scan part. As you can already see in the screenshot pan&scan transfers lose a lot of of the source picture and ruin the director's vision of how the movie should look like.

Good grab, pure.
Also I'd like to mention to any n00b rippers out there: start with autoGK, figure it out first. Then once you've established laziness, switch over to GK to get the rip really tight.
I'm compiling a list on standards right now, which will be targets you can aim at. (catch me?) There are only so many AR's (1.33, 1.76, 1.8, 2.35, etc) finding the proper resolution can be tough. You should be able to, through cropping and resizing, get a MAX aspect error of 0.1%, not 0.4/etc.
Oh also, I changed the thread title to add Q & A. Can't have questionless answers now can we?

I usually use Fairuse & a few audiotools for my basic ripping.then I mux everything(avi,multiple audiostreams & multiple subs) into an mkv,coz it's a superior container compared to avi.(you can even add chapters to your movie if yo want)
we've been doing this for ages in the animescene,but it seems for some reason that the movie/tv series scene isn't ready for this yet

Okey, here's a question...
I plan on making a HQ release of Frankenfish... Anyway Im not sure if I should make it regular 2cd or ADF...
Audio is AC3 448 kb/s and 259mb
Movie length is 81 minutes...
Resolution would be 704x384 with -0.1% aspect error
ADF - the Video bitrate is 2130 kb/s
2cd regular - 1969 kb/s
So any suggestions? I think there's no need for ADF, but Id like to hear others opinion

I would say there is no need, unless you really want AC3. The main reason to do it, is to keep the DVD's audio and resolution, while still getting a good bitrate and bits/pixel (frame quality). The use for it works best with bigger budget films, or for archiving films. I say for archiving because I am starting to hate physical discs; they take up space and if you're like me, you have 1000s to search through, which is a pain even if they are organized. I like just clicking on a movie to watch it!!! Then people started to realize that 2+ files dont share as well (how some people 'lose' one of the files is beyond me, but it happens).
I'd say Lux, just do it to 700MB, make the audio 128-160 VBR MP3, and the drop the resolution to 576W x ###H (maybe 320). Also try different cropping to get it to <0.1% error, though just shrinking might fix it. The AFR rip was 704W... did you crop black from the sides? If no side cropping was necessary, you could leave it at 720, and get the right AR by cropping the top/bottom only.
I have no opinion of mkv containers, I have never used, nor watched one. The ability to add chapters seems moot. Unless you rip all episodes of a show together, fitting it on one DVDr, and having chapters per episode. That might be cool.
Other point of advice to beginers: Fool around with trailers!!! They are small, and come in many different qualities (a hollywood trailer or a Something Weird Video Trailer, etc). That way you arent staring at the progress for 3+ hours.

Hmmm... my friend use Linux and he said that at the LInux Ripping goes 3x faster then Windows ripping...
It goes almost in real time of the movie ...
and he found some ripping system to compress high quality at very low size...
He ripped for me BATMAN RETURNS with complete 2 h of movie at hight quality only at 1GB...
The whole SToryTellER series ripped at 550Mb!!!
If you want I can ask him about that program

I have heard similiar to that as well.
A friend has a 64bit AMD processor, and can compress to xvid in about half-three/fourths the movie length. On my system, it usually goes for 1.5X movie length, at the barest of settings with no filtering. Your system and it setup have the most to do with it (thanx to Cap't Obvious for that info).
Nero Digital is a great codec for personal use, its fast and small with great results. But hey fuck proprietary codecs! I'm just waiting for the p2p world to embrace ultra bitrate mp4. (though I know its primary appeal is excellent quality at smaller bitrates, when compared to mp2)

Well, here I come with a question
Anyway, Im redoing the Legionnaire rip, since I noticed some white pixel line shit on the right and left... SO I recropped a little to make it disappear... Anyway, the resolution I came up with, that makes the Aspect Error 0.0 % is 704x392 ... Is it okay to use that kinda resolution? Just askin cause I've never seen that one before Or is it okay as long as I reach th 0 aspect error mark?

Well is ITU resize method checked (under options tab in GKnot)?
Actually either way: yes its perfect. But remember if you crop the sides, then you HAVE to shrink it. Lets say you cropped 4 off the left and right, then thats 8 pixels you cut, so leaving the width at 720 will STRETCH the picture (you will be upscaling), so dropping it down to 704 is the right move. Does the DVD say the aspect ratio? As in 1.80, 1.76, 1.33, 2.35, etc?
392 is weird height, but might be the viewable area anyway, so its fine. Gknot will report the AR as being like 11:5 or something ridiculous, but thats right because of the cropping.
BTW I'm almost done with Invasion USA (1.45GB). I've been using jawor's matrix with it. This rip plays choppy in my MPC player, but just fine in VLC. I haven't fooled around with matrices before, so yeah, I'm not sure that this rip is final yet.
Heres some screens:

AFR?
@grInd:
Looks great although a bit grainy. Or is that just me
------------------------------------------------------
spudthedestroyer @ HHAH wrote: AFR? keyword? wtf?Indeed, AFR stands for Advanced Filesize Regulation. If your rip fits the simple criteria, you can use the keyword advancedfilesize in your post. You can then use this to search for only 1/6th, 1/3rd or 1/2 DVDr sized rips: http://forum.dead-donkey.com/search.phpSimply type in advancedfilesize (all one word) when you do a search, and out they pop. Of course, it relies on people doing AFR rips to put advancedfilesize somewhere in their thread. Where does it come from?Its something that's come out of fileheaven.org. The following Q&A comes from their site... So what exactly do you mean by DVD-R sized files?The old concept of 1xCD rip has been replaced by a single ~0744 MB file which is 1/6 DVD-R sized. The old concept of 2xCD rip has been replaced by a single ~1490 MB file which is 1/3 DVD-R sized. The old concept of 3xCD rip has been replaced by a single ~2236 MB file which is 1/2 DVD-R sized. We call this the Advanced Filesize Regulation (AFR). WTH? Are you mofos crazy? What about THE Scene?Slightly crazy, yes. But seriously, we feel this is way to go. * To search for these modernly sized releases, just go into the forum search and type advancedfilesize into the search field. * For Search purposes, all rippers and thread creators for MPEG4 rips should enter the word advancedfilesize into their thread, if the size of the rip complies to the above specifications.*exception see below * Dual Audio, especially Dual Language rips are somewhat of a dilemma, because many people will strip the audio track of the language they don't need or understand. (hence making the rip non AFR compliant in many cases). So release threads containing rips with 2 different languages should not contain the word advancedfilesize, but can use a search word of their own like dladvancedfilesize (duallanguageadvancedfilesize) * If however the original audio track + a commentary track is used, most people can use and will keep both audio tracks, which makes the use of advancedfilesize in the thread correct and applicable. The positioning inside a thread that has been done up to now is to just enter advancedfilesize above the DVD Cover, so that we have some similar structure in release posts and so mods can easier check whether the word has been entered. You can enter advancedfilesize into the thread in any way you please, depending on your preference and thread design, e.g. it can look something like this: Code: advancedfilesize [b]advancedfilesize[/b] [b][color=red]advancedfilesize[/color][/b] [size=1]advancedfilesize[/size] [color=white]advancedfilesize[/color] [color=white][size=1]advancedfilesize[/size][/color]
and it will look something this respectively: advancedfilesize (normal) advancedfilesize (bold) advancedfilesize (bold & red) advancedfilesize (tiny) advancedfilesize (invisible) advancedfilesize (tiny & invisible) Hopefully this will help distinguish not only AFR sized Rips from older sizes, but also put an emphasis on these rips, which are mostly from our very own FH Rippers for the fileheaven community. Having a list of kick ass quality releases from our very own rippers sounds damn good to me Spud: Fixed the filesizes, and added these two points: - DO NOT say "advancedfilesize" unless your post is a release of such a rip. Ask for an afr, but do not use the keyword unless your a professional nonce.
- If your ripping vobsubs, split out all the seperate languages and release a package

I agree. I think jawors gets a grainy effect (see thread at D-D called return of the living dead 3).
I might buff up the noise filter. Watching it looks good from afar, but not up close. I wish I had a bigger TV to see it, well bigger.
Ooops, turned my noise filter off actually. Dammit!
Lesson here kiddies: pay attention!
Also I wanted to mention another tip. Rememebr I said rip trailers and practice. For a specific movie, you can just rip a chapter off the DVD with DVDecryptor, and with some calculating (bitrate based on time and size) you can figure shit like the above WITHOUT having to wait 3 hours.

Oh and at Lux:
does previewing it look right? you have 100% zoom over 69% zoom. Drop your w-modul to 16 and your h-modul to 2/4. See if you can get 0.0% (even if it ends up as the same res as now)

Then we'll know which AR is closest. This movie has many different DVDs.
