Comments for How to backup your DVDs (in dvd, xvid, mpeg-4, x264 formats) using k9copy at http://www.my-guides.net/en , comment 1 to 17 out of 17 comments http://www.my-guides.net/en Sun, 14 Mar 2010 08:33:55 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.my-guides.net/en/content/view/77/26/#comment-920 toni if you set the output to mpeg-4 or mpeg-2 the dvd will be compressed by default. Maybe you could try to output to ISO format. However you should have in mind that ripping the DVD without compression will result to a video file of many GBs. - axel Sun, 30 Aug 2009 21:31:43 +0100 http://www.my-guides.net/en/content/view/77/26/#comment-908 hello axel, could you please explain me how to rip DVD without compression? I wasn't able to get this. I always come to the screen where I get a compression factor and I am not able to set it to "1" Thanks - toni Thu, 27 Aug 2009 00:05:15 +0100 http://www.my-guides.net/en/content/view/77/26/#comment-850 Thanks Liquid. I hadn't heard TVersity before. :) - axel Thu, 23 Jul 2009 17:34:57 +0100 http://www.my-guides.net/en/content/view/77/26/#comment-842 Just use a good codec, then use TVersity media server to serve your videos to your 360, then you dont have to sacrifice quality for shitty compression ;) - Liquid- Sun, 19 Jul 2009 14:15:07 +0100 http://www.my-guides.net/en/content/view/77/26/#comment-623 It's been a long time since I last tried k9copy and unfortunatelly I don't have a Dual Layer burner. I took a look at a new version of k9copy and I saw there is an option to just copy the original DVD. If you use this insted of a codec, such as xvid or h264, you will rip the DVD without any compression. I liked the new version of k9copy. A new guide is scheduled. ;) Thanks JamesB. - axel Mon, 20 Apr 2009 23:03:30 +0100 http://www.my-guides.net/en/content/view/77/26/#comment-621 Nice guide but I've got one question for the guru: I've got a DL burner on my ubuntu machine. What would the settings be to rip with no compression? - JamesB Mon, 20 Apr 2009 21:16:00 +0100 http://www.my-guides.net/en/content/view/77/26/#comment-499 Nice info. Thanks pheonix. :) - axel Mon, 02 Mar 2009 10:52:45 +0100 http://www.my-guides.net/en/content/view/77/26/#comment-497 xbox360 only supports WMV (suprise, suprise) or XVID with mp3 in an avi for streaming (with latest update), or xvid or h264 in mp4 with AAC-LC (only LC) for loading off of a connected USB drive. I could never get an avi for streaming that it liked, i would recomend mp4 if you have a USB device it will recognize (again, good luck), or are willing to burn all your movies to CD/DVD. - pheonix Sat, 28 Feb 2009 21:19:19 +0100 http://www.my-guides.net/en/content/view/77/26/#comment-343 Which distribution are you using? Try first to rip a DVD into your hard disk using k9copy and then convert it again using the following command. ffmpeg -y -i INPUTVIDEO.AVI -vcodec libx264 -b 500k -flags +loop -cmp +chroma -partitions +parti4x4+partp8x8+partb8x8 -flags2 +mixed_refs -me umh -subq 5 -trellis 1 -refs 5 -bf 3 -b_strategy 1 -coder 1 -me_range 16 -g 250 -keyint_min 25 -sc_threshold 40 -i_qfactor 0.71 -bt 500k -rc_eq 'blurCplx^(1-qComp)' -qcomp 0.6 -qmin 10 -qmax 51 -qdiff 4 -level 41 -acodec libfaac -ac 2 -ar 48000 -ab 128k -f mov OUTPUTVIDEO.MOV Finally burn the .mov file to a dvd and check if xbox360 plays it. Sorry but I don't have an xbox to test it myself. :( - axel Sun, 28 Dec 2008 12:33:44 +0100 http://www.my-guides.net/en/content/view/77/26/#comment-342 I've made a couple of backups of some of my DVDs but my XBOX360 does not want to read the h.264 encoded ones - apparently not supported. I do have the latest Dashboard/Operating System updated on my Xbox360. Any ideas? - TinusB Sun, 28 Dec 2008 06:35:09 +0100 http://www.my-guides.net/en/content/view/77/26/#comment-335 As far as I know xbox360 supports both h.264 and xvid formats. So choose one of them in the mpeg4 encoding options and give it a try. - axel Thu, 25 Dec 2008 16:05:56 +0100 http://www.my-guides.net/en/content/view/77/26/#comment-334 I've been looking for a program that can rip my DVDs in a descent time - and it seems like I found it. Only Q now is: What format? I need it to be played on my XBOX360 as well as my PC, and PVR, but what is the difference between the codecs? Space isn't a problem, but MAXIMUM size for a DVD I want to encode must be 1400Mb. Any and all help appreciated! Thanx! :) - TinusB Thu, 25 Dec 2008 09:17:43 +0100 http://www.my-guides.net/en/content/view/77/26/#comment-317 I am glad to hear this "john doe"! :D - axel Sun, 14 Dec 2008 15:29:34 +0100 http://www.my-guides.net/en/content/view/77/26/#comment-315 outstanding software ! I 've always searched for an easy way to rip DVDs to h264 to backup my DVD collection under linux. This program is the perfect solution. now i'm never using windows anymore ! - john doe Sun, 14 Dec 2008 13:42:26 +0100 http://www.my-guides.net/en/content/view/77/26/#comment-139 No, this is Linux software only. For Windows you can try DVDFab [url=http://www.my-guides.net/en/content/view/50/43/]How to copy, split or customize a DVD-9 using DVDFab[/url] or RipIt4Me [url=http://www.my-guides.net/en/content/view/34/43/]How to copy a DVD-9 using Ripit4Me and DVD Shrink 3.2[/url] - axel Fri, 08 Aug 2008 08:41:46 +0100 http://www.my-guides.net/en/content/view/77/26/#comment-135 is this also available in Windows version? like 32bit or for Xp or Vista? tellme, samenmetjou@hotmail.com Thanxx - andre Thu, 07 Aug 2008 10:01:04 +0100 http://www.my-guides.net/en/content/view/77/26/#comment-86 Thanks for the guide. I had installed k9copy a long time ago but had not messed with it. I used XP in a VM to make my backups. Saw your guide on an upcoming digg and tried it out. The first try freaked me out. It took about 15 minutes when I was used to a 3 hour process. I still have a couple issues, but am sold. Thanks - beerorkid Fri, 14 Sep 2007 23:16:58 +0100
