(C) 1999  Drink or Die Productions

for Windows 9x/NT/2K

Intro

Finally. It's here. The new version of DoD DVD Speed Ripper!
Now with a GUI and some graphics. I apologize for being so
late with this release, it's due to my education. Anyway,
here it is...

Disclaimer

This software is provided AS IS without warranty of any kind.
Drink or Die is not responsible for the behaviour of this
software, though we have done extensive testing upon its
release. You are warned.

Legal Issues

This software is created for the sole purpose of making
backups of your own personal, legally purchased DVD videos.
Any other usage or misusage is strictly prohibited by the
law and will result in penatly.

Quick Operation Guide

When executing DODSRIP, you will be presented with a
graphical user interface (GUI). I think this is rather
self-explanatory...anyway, to rip something...

1. Insert a DVD video disc, launch DODSRIP.
2. If first time, configure DODSRIP with your DVD Drive.
3. Press Refresh button to read contents of your DVD.
4. Press Browse to select target file or directory.
5. Select file(s) to rip.
6. Now press Rip button. Progress meter will appear.

The first VOB file of size 1GB is usually where the video
begins.

NOTES:
* If you enter a DIRECTORY as output, selected files will
be copied from DVD to harddrive with same filenames.
* If you enter a FILE as output, all selected files (from
top through bottom) will be APPENDED to the output file.

Custom rip

Custom rip works equally to dodsrip 1.0. You can rip a
specified region on the DVD disc by entering start LBA
and byte length. If you select a file in the DVD dirlist
before selecting custom rip, its LBA and length will
automatically appear there (oo, how fancy q:).

What's on the DVD?

All DVD video discs have a \VIDEO_TS directory, which includes
VOB files. Let's get the directory listing of a DVD video:

Directory of VIDEO_TS...
Name: VIDEO_TS.BUP      LBA: 1320       Length: 12549
Name: VIDEO_TS.IFO      LBA: 282        Length: 12549
Name: VIDEO_TS.VOB      LBA: 288        Length: 2113797
Name: VTS_01_0.BUP      LBA: 2127182    Length: 80133
Name: VTS_01_0.IFO      LBA: 1326       Length: 80133
Name: VTS_01_0.VOB      LBA: 1365       Length: 12044549
Name: VTS_01_1.VOB      LBA: 7246       Length: 1073740037
Name: VTS_01_2.VOB      LBA: 531533     Length: 1073740037
Name: VTS_01_3.VOB      LBA: 1055820    Length: 1073740037
Name: VTS_01_4.VOB      LBA: 1580107    Length: 1073740037
Name: VTS_01_5.VOB      LBA: 2104394    Length: 46670085

Commented each file in this dir:
Name: VIDEO_TS.BUP  - Backup of IFO file            (not scrambled)
Name: VIDEO_TS.IFO  - Navigational info             (not scrambled)
Name: VIDEO_TS.VOB  - Copyright screen
Name: VTS_01_0.BUP  - Backup of IFO file            (not scrambled)
Name: VTS_01_0.IFO  - Navigational info             (not scrambled)
Name: VTS_01_0.VOB  - Text (as pictures) about movie
Name: VTS_01_1.VOB  - Movie file #1
Name: VTS_01_2.VOB  - Movie file #2
Name: VTS_01_3.VOB  - Movie file #3
Name: VTS_01_4.VOB  - Movie file #4
Name: VTS_01_5.VOB  - Movie file #5

DVD specs specify that movie files must be spilt on 1 gig
bonudary. If you merge those files, you'll get the whole
movie.

Problems

It's important that you find a wnaspi32.dll file that works
with your operating system. There are included two of these
files which are tested and found working on our systems.

wnaspi32.98.dll - Should work on Win 98.
wnaspi32.NT.dll - Should work on NT4 and Win 2000.

The Adaptec versions of these DLLs are untested. Some say
it doesn't work, others say it does. I do
67a
n't know... I
recommend running Microsoft's versions of them.

If the program doesn't work on your computer, try renaming
the appropriate file to wnaspi32.dll inside dodsrip dir,
and run the program again.

Playing back a randomly grabbed stream from any of the VOB
files may not work because different frames are dependent of
each other and DVD players are really bad programmed. Xing
usually bugs or crashes. PowerDVD manages much better.

Also, there will be no way to tell your player what lanuage
(soundtrack) you want, subtitles, etc, so you will sometimes
hear the first found sound track (maybe not english?) when
playing. It depeds on your player. You should run the VOB
through a filter to get it as you want after ripping.

BTW, FAT32 file system does not support files larger than
4GB... What a bummer!
