Select the folder name (for the sake of the example let’s call it «Original»). This will present you with a dialog box where you can select the destination for the new DVD files. If it is, then select all tracks and select «No Compression» in the drop-down list. This will allow you to create custom layout and in the given case create a DVD structure containing only the clips.ĭrag and drop titles into “DVD structure” paneĬlick “Compression settings” tab and make sure “No compression” setting is selected under “Video” section. You can see that the layout of my disc is strange, where some of the clips (this is a concert DVD) are put into the “Extras” section. This will load the DVD files into the program and show the current layout as the DVD was authored originally in the “DVD Browser” tab. Go to: Open Files and navigate to the folder on the disk where you have the DVD files (VOB’s, IFO’s, etc) This will create a folder on the HD with all the VOB’s, IFO’s, etc files that represent a digital copy of the DVD. So another title to this solution would be 'How to create proper DVD from VOB files'.Ĭopy the DVD in question to the hard drive with the tool of your preference in file mode. After that it can be easily and properly ripped to MKV in any program.

It all can be done using freeware tools and under 20-30 minutes, so I think it is worth trying.īasically what you need to do is to «re-author» the DVD so it has proper layout and structure.

I have drawn up a guide of how to achieve the solution to given problem.

After searching the internet and reading forums and blogs for a few days, it looks like there is no simple “point-and-click” solution for this problem.
