AutoGordian knot help...

Post by kev »   0 likes

I have something of a ripping question..

I"m trying to rip a DVD with 6 different episodes of a 25 min TV show.

I ripped the DVD with DVD Decrypter without any problems. But NOW, trying to run it through Auto Gordian Knot, I can't figure out how to rip each episode at a decent 350MB [or perhaps a slightly larger] size befitting their 25 mins.

I first tried lumping all 6 of the episode files together in the 'Job Queue' while setting the 'Predefined size' at '1/2 CD 350MBs'. That gave me a file that kept growing exponentially.. After about 2 hours it was 2GBs and by the time I aborted the task it was up to 4GBs with only 2 episodes ripped..

For my next attempt I left the size setting the same [1/2 CD 350MBs], but I only put one file in the 'Job Queue'. Within an hour or so it was back up to 2GBs.

HOWEVER this time it completed the task and I now have ONE episode of this series that's 2GBs big and only 25mins long... :eyecrazy

SOO, I guess that AGk WILL differentiate between the episodes; that much is cool. But how do I get it to make the file a smaller size?? I thought that's what the whole 'Predefined size' part of the machine was for.. :think

I know that no one wants a 25min file that's 2GBs big... :wall

If anyone can help me out with this in any way, 'twould be VERY appreciated..

kev.
