[QUOTE="Weill, post: 2034458, member: 734501"] I have bought the original DVD of the new Rambo movie (R2 UK version), and want to make a DVD rip so I don't have to put in the DVD to watch it as my GPU uses all my computer's power connectors and I therefore can't run my DVD drive at the same time (at least not permanently). I have extracted all (including the VOB) files from the DVD to my computer, and now want to save space by compressing them to an avi file. I tried using "Xilisoft DVD Ripper" and "ImTOO DVD Ripper", but whatever I do the rip turns out as a 4:3 aspect rip with black bars on all sides (vertical and horizontal bars) instead of a 16:9 rip (as I set it to) with horizontal bars (as the movie originally has a 2.35:1 aspect ratio). What can I do to get a proper 2.35:1 rip or at least a 16:9? Do I have to use different software (as the programs mentioned above just don't get it, no matter what setting I use), and if yes which software would you recommend? I want a high quality rip with the correct aspect ratio, regardless of the size, including mp3 sound at 192kbps CBR or higher (mp3) or AC3/5.1, maybe with dual sound for commentary. In addition, the movie uses subtitles in a few scenes (specifically the ones which are not spoken in English), so how do I get the ripping program to recognize when to use the subtitles and when not to? I want to create srt files (or similar) with subtitles that only appear in non-english spoken scenes and an additional subtitle file with the director's commentary. As I said, I own a legal copy of the DVD, and I'm legally entitled to make a backup copy in my country of residence, so I'm not doing anything illegal. Thanks for the advice! [/QUOTE]
