free space status graphical indicator line (green-red) as in dvdshrink

When splitting a movie across two DVDs can an option be added so that when using the first disc and I select an option in the menu that is on the second disc I can use my own image to say to insert the second disc rather than the one supplied or blank (or vice versa with an alternate image for the menus on the second disc).
Also can I choose how many seconds this display would be shown before jumping back to the menu.

It would be really cool to add some form of "Tv Show" profile, so when ripping out tv series dvd's, it would allow us to rip them at a default, decent quality looking size. I tried searching more on this to get some idea's.
And one thing i found, was a typical filesize for cartoon series (around 179megs per show, every time. approx-22min on avg,) and around 350 most every time for each tv show (live,not cartoon.- ie-Scrubbs,Mindfreak.)
I have noticed not much of any changes are done with audio bitrate, as well as a typical video resolution is used also. If there's anything i can do to help, lemme know.
(typical settings i've noticed/or tried.)

You can edit an existing profile that is close to what you want using Notepad. Just make the changes you want and use the Save As... option and follow the naming conventions for the other profiles in the group, adding "TV Show" or something similar.

Yeah, i know. I was the one that submitted the Samsung A920 - Profile. I was feeling a little lazy i guess when i asked. I guess i'll make a few profiles then, and submit those. I'm assured they will be pretty popular to include for sure.

Hello,

i support this wish!



Floppy

I've been using the free version and bought platinum yesterday. This is a great program! Very user friendly for those of us who really don’t understand all the technical stuff and just want to back up their DVDs!

I'd like to convert from Pal to NTSC or vice versa within DVDFab.

I searched for a manual to download somewhere. Maybe I missed it?

Normalize audio would be nice. The volume slider alone gets a bit distorted, especially on low tone dialog. Normalize would find the peaks and adjust them accordingly for overall nice loud and clear audio.

If you have a Nintendo DS you can get a plugin cartridge that takes a MicroSD card and allows you to run a media player on it called Moonlight.

I'd like to convert some of my DVDs to watch on the NDS.

Is there any chance DVDFab would support the video format? I don't own a copy now, but I'm buy it tomorrow if it had this feature.

DS-DPG posted some useful details:

The basic format is MP2 Audio and MPEG1 video.
The A/V isn't really muxed, it's just has the video data and then the audio is tagged onto the end,
with a simple header describing the file.

A description of the format including header:

A forum thread about dpg conversion for linux, completely explaining all needed steps for valid DPG's
including C++-Code for it:
http://forum.gbadev.org/viewtopic.php?t=7897

The python script:

I think this will become a really big market over time - the NDS has outsold the PSP two to one - and you can pick up the cartridge + a 2gb MicroSD card for less that GBP 50.00 - USD 98.00 - that would be a fair few movies.

Double Pass.

DVDShrink, Nero Recode with 2 pass - With this tools in 2 pass DVDFab PERFECT.

I second this request

OK,ok. How Bout - - - - - ->
64bit support, and or Dual-Core Support. Xillosoft Video Convertor 3 already supports this optimized. I notice a decent speed increase with encoding because of this.
Microsoft said themselfs in a recent expose that 2007 Server is the LAST OS that will be using 32bit from this point forward, as they themselves are 100% focusing on 64bit only now.

How about the possibility of dowloading only what is wanted ? I have no need for the Ipod, PSP, PVP, and PDA portions of the program; so if I could eliminate those portions from downloading.... it would be great.

Thanks for your efforts...

linux or wine support pretty please

What,is 30kb more for the profiles too much?? That's all it is. Now as far as removing them. You can already do that right now. What you want to do is go to
-General
-Customize UI

then on the right side, 'Options Group', change to 'DVD To Mobile', then below that, simply remove which ones you won't ever need. Hope that helps you out.

Djdafreund,

Thanks for the info. I was thinking the difference in download size was much larger. Oh yes, I used you tip and removed some items.

Thanks again.

No prob. We're here to help. Enjoy it. It's SUCH a great supported piece of software. Such a good value too!!! I mostly don't use it anymore to back up my DVD's (except for the ones i play a lot.) but rather i mostly use it to encode my movies to xvid or x264 and store them on my media jukebox (xbox-xbmc that is.)

how about when selecting customize movie only with menu's have something like menu shrink added that way you can save up to 200 mb

Hello Fengtao,
I see you added some additional support for PVP. I do own a real Video iPod and the
program works great. But was wondering if you plan to add converting for SMV?

Just to bring everyone up to speed SMV is a video format by Sigmatel.
A major chip set maker that doesn't actually make MP3/MP4 players. But are
making a CHIP that several companies are making and using their chip as the
heart of the player. These MP4 players are basically MP3 players with some extra
features which can be used for Video playback. A 1 Gig player can hold 2 1/2 hours
of video. Sure 160x128 is very limited on a 1.8 inch screen. But many of theirs
players require using the converter program from Sigmatel. Not directly supported
by them. So my Speedmach.com MP4 player won't correctly convert AVI well.
OK some video can be converted, but most won't.

Any suggestions??

How about being able to view the profile's without having to- insert a DVD, selecting one, and THEN having to double click on the file to then go into the profile's to view all the settings.

Fengtao, a feature request:
for small display , like used with DVD to mobile (i.e. 320x240), the converted
video looks dark and lacking contrast. Can you add a feature to improve the
brightness balance and contrast?
Is it possible to include settings for the codec in the device profiles in order to modify the brightness/contrast?
Thank you !

I would dearly love to find ANY program that would convert PAL to NTSC while completely maintaining the already existing dvd structure.

To just convert a film with out existing menus, extras, etc just about any authoring program will do (including Nero) but I'd love to find something that maintains the DVD structure & does a 1 click conversion.

On The Fly Copying I'll test for you Fengtao

Hi, I just saw that SUPER is implementing DPG-support (Nintendo DS, moonshell), however DVDFab are a much more complete package.
I hope the programmers take some time and consider to add this feature to DVDFab.
