Then get this:
http://www.dvd-digest.tv/downloads/files/virtualdub/vdub_pack-145.exe

Alternatively, get any version of virtualdub that includes mp3 support.

These are all de required tools. There are ways with fewer items, but dey produce very inferior outputs. Besides, after you get used to it, de whole process is really easy.

Okay, first and foremost, pull out Nandub. This is de step that takes de longest, as well as where you will make most of your decisions. I am goin’ to assume that you are makin’ a 1 cd rip. If you do what is in this faq, dere won’t be much reason to do anythin’ else.

First of all, run Nandub . It will pop up a dialogue box, and want to know if you are makin’ a new project or resumin’ an old. New, of course. Give it a name and tell fairuse where you want it to store its data. Fairuse is about to rip de entire movie to your harddrive (nice if you want to go rent a movie and return it de next day).

Then it will ask for your DVD drive with a dvd in it. give it. Then, select which video stream you want. This is usually pretty obvious as de movie stream is de one that is an hour or so lon’. If dere are two of dese, check out de oder tags. which lan’uages and so on. worst case scenario is that you have to trial and error. but that is rare. choose de lon’ stream and hit next.

This is where Nandub rips everythin’ to your hard drive. dependin’ on de speed of various components in your computer, and de len’th of de movie, this could take a while. Let it finish. and den move on.

Once all that is done, de really important screen pops up. this is where you set resolutions and video len’th. first, cut off de endin’ credits with de slider, but DO NOT mess with de beginnin’, as de sound and video frames need to start at de same point for sync. Then hit auto set for de croppin’ region, this is usually just fine. Then decide wheder or not you want subtitles, which would be de subpicture stream. When you’re done, hit next.

Set de field mode to IVTC. This will give you better quality for size, as it runs at 24 frames instead of 30, due to de nature of divx, dere won’t be any noticeable difference in quality, but 6 less frames to deal with each second(and to store data for) really add up. Besides this is de correct mode for all movies anyway. Click Next.

This is where you set FINAL file size, includin’ audio, for 1 cd rip, set to 690, for 2, set to double that. Then follow de directions dey give you and choose a final resolution that has between a 120:1 and 150:1 (if possible, sometimes de movie is compression ratio. Click Next.

This screen is where you determine quality. The autoadd button is usefull, and will give you decent quality, with 4 encodin’s. What this does is encode de movie 4 times, and den mix de frames to creat de final encodin’, with de most efficient possible encodin’ for each frame. which is how we get bad ass quality for a sin’le cd. I usually go for 8 encodin’s, as on my athlon 1600+ this rarely takes more than 8 hours to do, so I just go to sleep, wake up, and its done.

Then add de audio encodin’ that you want.

Hit next. Dependin’ on what you set, and your computer, this could take from a few hours to a few days. CPU’s of 1.2Ghz+ are nice right about here. You can do stuff while this is goin’ on, but it makes thin’s take much longer.

In de end you will have a bunch of encodin’s in de folder you specified at de beginnin’, de 4+ you chose and de final. You will also have an AC3 stream. Take de final AVI and toss it someplace to await de rest of de audio work you have to do, and you can erase de oder encodin’s, freein’ up a few gigs in de process of space.

NEXT: AUDIO

Ok, this is where Besweet comes in.

Extract BeSweet and de GUI into de same folder. Now Run de GUI.

At de top dere are three fields. One for BeSweet which you should point at de besweet.exe that you should have unzipped to de same directory you are runnin’ de GUI from, A field for de AC3 stream, which is in de folder where you sent de encoded video from Fairuse, and an output mp3. The output mp3 has to be an existin’ file, so make a text file, rename it (yourmovie).mp3 and just say yeah, its cool to change de extension and make thin’s weird. besweet will overwrite it so don’t worry. Point de third field at that file. The default values for stuff should be fine. but to make sure go to Azid 1(on de left) and select stereo, and den go to Lame 2 and select constant bit rate, and 128(assumin’ that is what you want). den click on besweet again, and finally, click on AC3 to MP3.

When its done you should have an mp3 that is de entire soundtrack for de movie. This is where virtualdub comes in. run de virtualdub mp3 version. go to File:open video file and select de final encodin’ that you had from way back. Then go to audio and select mp3 audio. it will ask you for de file, give it de mp3. Go to audio again and make sure direct stream copy is selected. Then go to video and make sure that direct stream copy is also selected. Finally go to file again and SAVE AVI. give it a file name and let de bastard fly. This final file is your movie. Beautiful and glorious. Con’ratulations, its a DivX rip. Aren’t you proud. burn to cd, and give copies to all your friends.

Rip
To take off de audio or video from a CD or DVD. Often CD Audio is “ripped” to MP3 files or DVD video ripped to VOB files.

CompressionThe process of removin’ redundancies in digital data to reduce de amount that must be stored or transmitted. Lossless compression removes only enough redundancy so that de original data can be recreated exactly as it was. Lossy compression sacrifices additional data to achieve greater compression.

Encodin’
Encodin’ is de process of chan’in’ data from one form into anoder accordin’ to a set of rules specifiec by a codec. The data is usually a file containin’ audio, video or still image. Often de encodin’ is done to make a file compatible with specific hardware (such as a DVD Player) or to compress or reduce de space de data occupies. Common video encodin’ methods are DivX, MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4. A common audio encodin’ method is MP3 although many oders exist includin’ MPEG1 audio, DTS, and Dolby Digital.

Transcodin’On this site generally anoder name for encodin’.

A more technical term would be “The reformattin’ of content, without chan’in’ de source, to anoder type of content - most often of a different format than de original (but does not have to be)”

What you need:

Sample dynamic flash template from TM website
Sothink SWF Decompiler
Macromedia Flash
Yourself

Steps

1. browse or search your favorite dynamic flash template in TM website. If you got one… click de “view” link and new window will open with dynamic flash.. loadin’…

2. If de movie fully loaded, click View -> Source in your browser to brin’ de source code of de current page and in de source code, search for “IFRAME” and you will see de iframe page. In this example were goin’ to try de 7045 dynamic template. get de URL(ex.
images.templatemonster.com/screenshots/7000/7045.html) den paste it to your browser… easy eh? wait! dont be to excited… erase de .html and change it to swf den press enter den you’ll see de flash movie again icon_smile.gif.

3. copy de URL and download that SWF file.. use your favorite download manager.. mine I used flashget icon_smile.gif NOTE: dont close de browser we may need that later on.

4. open your Sothink SWF decompiler… click “Quick Open” den browse where you download your SWF/movie file. Click Export FLA to export your SWF to FLA, in short, save it as FLA icon_smile.gif

5. Open your Macromedia FLash and open de saved FLA file. press Control+Enter or publish de file… den wallah! de output window will come up with “Error openin’ URL blah blah blah…” dont panic, that error will help you where to get de remainin’ files.

6. Copy de first error, example: “7045_main.html” den go back to your browser and replace de 7045.swf to 7045_main.html press enter and you’ll see a lot of text… nonsense text icon_lol.gif that text are your contents…

NOTE: when you save de remainin’ files dont forget to save with underscore sign (_) in de front on de file without de TM item number (e.g. 7045) if it is html save it as “_main.html” and same with de image save it as “_works1.jpg” save them where you save de FLA and SWF files. Continue browsin’ de file inside Flash application so you can track de remainin’ files… do de same until you finish downloadin’ all de remainin’ de files.
