Hey calvin, I’d downloaded the first part of a dvd rip movie which is cd1 and the second part which is cd2. Is it possible to combine them into 1 file??? XD

by the way the format of my movie is .avi

calvin: yup… there are some tools that can do this, the popular ones are AviDemux and VirtualDub. I use VirtualDub alot but haven’t really done some combining. but you can find a guide here. madali lang since all you need to do is append the second video then save the AVI and wait.

Is that The Mummy 3? hehehe.

Thank u again calvin..I’d been downloading dvdrip mostly an avi format. my problem is my dvd player can’t read an avi format so I need to convert it to a DVD file like VTS_01_3 so it will play mostly in DVD player
I’m using dvd santa which is a free software the problem is I had 3 choices of size I tried to chose 650MB but it loss its quality I did not try yet the 1.47 GB cause I’m using the default size which is 4.7GB which the quality will not change. I’m just wondering how 8 pirated movies fit into a 4.7GB which is a DVD file and can fit 20movies using DVD9 which has the capacity of probably 8GB..Thanks in advance calvin.

calvin: i would suggest buying a new dvd player that can play AVI DivX/XviD compressed movies. They’re not that expensive anyways (look for those with a USB port so you can just copy the movie on your thumb drive if you’re not planning to burn it on a DVD). If a 4.7 GB DVD has 8 movies, then some or all of the movies will suffer from poor quality or maybe lower resolution that can lead to pixelation when viewed on a TV. You can burn 6 DVDrip quality movies on a 4.7GB DVD.

by the way calvin can u suggest what’s the best quality of all release type.

calvin: if you can see an HDRIP, that’s the best although it’s very rare at this time. Look for DVDRIP which is commonly used that has the best quality. Should wait for a DVD release of the movie in order to achieve a DVDRIP though so no DVDRIP for Dark Knight yet.

Thanks for the explanation calvin, I’d been ignorant of these release types but now i knew. What’s the purpose of ripping a DVD?? they said to copy a copyrighted DVD in your hard drive.
can u just copy the contents of the original DVD without ripping??

calvin: ian, you can copy a dvd directly to your PC but it will consist of many files and will take up around 4GB of space (try browsing the contents of a DVD from your PC). If you rip a DVD, not only will you compress it to around 700MB per movie but you can also rename the file into anything you want at the expense of subtitles, scene selection and extra features (unless you also rip those). The files will usually be in .AVI format that almost all media players can read but the most important aspect is the smaller size.

thank u calvin…how about the dsrip does it contain a good quality??? does dvd rip and r5 differ only in sounds? thanks again

calvin: yup, DSRIP or digital streaming rip is of good quality although not as good as HDTV but still ok. It’s mostly used on TV shows and STV movies.

the problem with R5 is not all R5 have good quality unlike DVDRip. So if you have to choose between DVDRIP and R5, go for DVDRIP.

uy headstrong. alam ko kung saan yan. hehe.

look at the bright side, at least you don’t have to worry about catching the elevator kasi isang tumbling lang from your seat nasa elevator ka na.

calvin: kaso lang, kita ako ng mga naghihintay sa elevator pag nangulangot. hehehe.
