Like many of you, I’ve tried hard to find a solution for playing my DVD’s on my XBOX 360 (Being used as an MCX. I’ve ripped them to WMV 1920 X 1080, which on a decent PC can take 30+ hours, 1280 X 720 wasn’t much faster. I’ve played around with Transcode 360 and was never happy with the syncronization of audio and video. And on and on.
I have now ripped 50 of my DVD’s this way and have had 100% success with absolutly no problems. Here it is.
You will need the following programs: All have free trials, so you can check this out without paying a cent.
AnyDVD and CloneDVDMobile from Slysoft.com. AnyDVD to get around copy protection and CloneDVDMobile to rip the DVD into a single VOB file. (There are other programs that do the same thing, but these are what I use.)
VideoRedo at videoredo.com. This is an mpeg editing program.
So here is the process:
Install and run the above programs.
In CloneDVDMobile choose the VOB option and rip the DVD into a single VOB file, say movie.vob
Rename movie.vob to movie.mpg. (I know that we have all had issues with this method, but stay with me.)
In VideoRedo, click on Tools>Quickstream Fix
Select movie.mpg as the source, and select name for the destination file such as moviefixed.mpg. Run the program.
Thats it you are done. the moviefixed.mpg is the one that you keep.
Everything will work perfectly in mymovies and on the xbox 360. The time will be right, FF RW Skip will all work.
The PQ is same as the DVD. The audio is perfect. 5.1 works, etc.
Hope this helps some of you.
