How it Works  

DVDREasy performs the following steps:

 

1 - Choose the IFO file
First, you must choose from the original DVD, the IFO file that belongs to the main movie. DVDREasy will examine the file and let you choose up to 2 Audio tracks and 2 Subtitles (or ---No Subtitles---).

2 - Rip the VOBs files
DVD DECRYPTER will be launched to rip the corresponding VOB files to your hard disk. DVD DECRYPTER  will also create chapter information files (for CCE and MUXMAN). The new VOB files will only have the video, the audio and subtitles streams you chose.

3 - Size of the new VOBs
If the the size of the ripped vob files fits on a DVD±R, then no video encoding is necessary. So, DVDREasy will just
Re-Author. Otherwise, DVDREasy will Re-Encode the Video and Author.

Re-Authoring Mode

4a - Extract Subtitles
VOBSUB and SUBTOSUP will be launched to extract the subtitles.

4b - Demuxing
BBDMUX will be launched to demux Video and Audio.

4c - DVD Authoring
MUXMAN
will be launched to author a new DVD using the demuxed video file, demuxed audio file and the extracted subtitles file.(*)

Re-Encoding Mode

5a - Create DGINDEX project
DGINDEX will be launched to create a project and demux the audio.

5b - Calculate Bitrate
Using the size of the audio track and its bitrate, DVDREasy will calculate the new bitrate for video encoding.

5c - Extract Subtitles
VOBSUB and SUBTOSUP will be launched to extract the subtitles.

5d - Geting MPEG2 information
MPEGinfo will be launched to get MPEG2 information (picture structure, DCT type,...)

5e - Video Encoding

Cinema Craft Encoder (the best commercial video encoder available) will be launched to encode the video.

or

HC Encoder (the best free video encoders available) will be launched to encode the video.

5f - Only for NTSC
If the video source is NTSC then PULLDOWN will be executed.

5g - Putting it all together
MUXMAN will be launched to author a new DVD using the encoded video file, demuxed audio file and the extracted subtitles file.

Optional Steps

6 - DVD ISO Image
MKISOFS will be launched to create a DVD ISO IMAGE.

7 - BURN of ISO Image
DVD DECRYPTER will be launched to burn the ISO IMAGE created in step 6
 

* IFO Corrections
After step 4c or step 5g DVDREasy will performe the following corrections:

in VIDEO_TS.IFO :
   - VMG sectors

in VTS_01_1.IFO :
   - Language name of the audio stream
   - Language name of the subtitles stream (if available)
   - PGC Color of the subtitles stream (if available)
   - VTS sectors
