I am now currently in the process of making a super special video of all my fave TGND scenes using my AVI movie file with windows moviemaker.
I can even add a MUSIC TRACK TO IT!!! WOOT!!! Hehehe Ill be sure and pick my number one song that reminds me of Eli hehehe
Stay tuned everyone! I will provide the video link as soon as it is all done and uploaded on YouTube!

Eli is just too damn cute to resist.

PS: GREAT JOB ON THE BIRTHDAY FANMAIL BAG EVERYONE!!! IT LOOKS INCREDIBLE!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKK!!! HEHEHE

I'm not sure what the guy means with that sentence, but it could be read either way, I guess. I think he was just saying that you can make a single AVI file from any single VOB file you convert. DVD Shrink will let you rip your DVD to one big file instead of making it into 1 GB chunks if you un-select the "Split into 1 GB chunks" option in the preferences. You can then use AutoGK to make one single AVI file from the one single VOB file you had.

But yeah I did find another way. Im searching for moviemaker now. Do you or anyone here on the MB know how to operate moviemaker that can give me a crash course?
If not Im sure Ill find a way. I may run out of will but I still always find a way. *giggles*

Good to know!! thank you so much TeeJay... and yes you actually can put them all together... I just havent figured out how to yet but I know it can be done using AudioGK.

Hm, I still don't see how. AutoGK has very limited options and buttons, and even in the hidden options (Ctrl + F9) there's nothing to suggest you can append video files. The tutorial on their official website doesn't mention it either. To me it still looks like all that AutoGK can do is convert single files. I've tried to Google this just now because I'm curious about how it might work, and all the tutorials I found only used AutoGK for converting and then appended the different video files with Virtual Dub. Hm.... If you ever find out how you can use AutoGK for appending files, please let me know.

However, I'm glad you found another way because it really is quite a complicated process. Can't wait to see what you come up with!

Not sure if MovieMaker comes with Windows Vista, but it was automatically installed on my XP computers, so I don't see why Vista wouldn't have it.

I swear I got so frustrated I gave up and scrapped all the AudioGK and DVD Decrypter software and just said SCREW IT I'll go search Limewire for the download lmao and sure enough there it was, TGDN unrated DVD rip AVI file.

But I found the full movie file somewhere online so I have it on my computer now.
Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet IM SO HAPPY! I cant wait to get started in making my very own special TGND/Eli tribute video... will I need to download windows moviemaker? or do I already have it on my computer as a basic program for windows vista?

I have AutoGK on my computer as well, but I've never used it to put files together and I wouldn't know how to do that either. Can it even do that? I always thought it was just a converter (i.e. to make VOB files into DivX or Xvid coded AVIs).

If you wanna use Windows MovieMaker for the final cutting together snippets and bits and pieces, you don't need to have your movie as one big file, it would be fine to have it in smaller size chunks. You can import all these chunks into MovieMaker and then extract from them what you need or put them together in whatever order you want. In short, you will need to convert the VOB files to AVI with AutoGK one by one to then use them further in your actual video editing software.

I am attempting to rip a copy of my TGND unrated DVD movie onto my laptop. I am using the freeware programs:
DVD Decrypter - to rip the information from the DVD onto my laptop in fragments of audio and video and bypass protection encryption and such.
I'm using AudioGK to take all the little tidbits of info that I've ripped off the DVD (audio bits and video segments) to put them alltogether as ONE FILE and a complete copy WITH SOUND on my laptop.

Here's the problem:

I read the tutorial this guy put online on how to do all of this and followed his EXACT instructions to the latter.
But for some odd reason he did NOT go into detail on which of these little files and tidbits I needed to put into this program one at a time and in WHAT order so that there would be both PICTURE & SOUND and a finished single file product.

So far I am stumbling in the dark trying to put in as many as I can and in as many different types of order I can to try and see if I can make it all work and come together as one file.
IM CLOSE BUT NO CIGAR :doh: *sighs*

If you know WHICH FILES and in WHAT order to put them in during the process of using this program I would really appreciate the help.
I HAVE SO MANY SEGMENTED FILES in my TGND folder when I ripped it that I have NO idea which one to put first and which ones to follow it with.
I dont even know which ones are the sound files for the movie.

I have...
.IFO's
.VOB's
.BUP's

And four LONG segments of the movie devided into four that play just fine on windows media player but with NO SOUND.
Which is why he tells me I need the AudioGK in order to combine all four and the sound components.
I feel dumb because several times I almost had it but then the sound failed and other times it only produced a snippet of the beginning WARNING: "blah blah part of the movie but didnt complete it!"

I certainly hope you have used this program before and know how to edit all these pieces together TeeJay but if not that's okay I will just have to find another way.
If you know any easy free DVD ripping software that will rip the whole entire thing for me in one file AND WITH SOUND LMAO please let me know.

I am one whooped puppy and VERY CONFUSED. Struggling! lol

I'm no expert with this either, and it'll be hard to describe this process from scratch if you haven't ever done video editing. Just be aware that if you rip the whole DVD to your computer, you'll end up with huge files. A DVD usually is between 4 and 8 GB in size, DVD Shrink will "shrink" it to around 4.7 GB (and probably split the video into 1 GB chunks unless you tell it not to). If you convert these to uncompressed AVI, it'll take HUGE amounts of space. Like several hundreds GBs if you'd choose to convert a whole DVD and not just chunks of it. Plus, it'd take a loooooong time to convert. You can tell DVD Shrink to only rip portions of the DVD, but it'd take a while to explain that.

Also, there have to be easier ways than what I'm doing to make vidcaps off a DVD, especially if you're a beginner. I just use what I know. I'm sure there's software out there that will make this much easier.

The bad news is... I have NO IDEA how to use this program and need to know how I can record the certain snippets in the movies I play with the program and put them together as one video.

Iif you could kindly help me with this or give any info as to how its done id be very much in your debt!!
I tried recording a piece but all it did was record a piece of the very beginning of my Fanboys file I have here on my comp. It didnt record the scene I jumped to...

Good luck! Can't wait to see what you come up with!
