Ripping from CD-Images


It's easier to rip the MPEG files using VCDGear straight from the image files themselves, instead of mounting on a virtual drive first and ripping that way. The files have to be ripped as the MPEG files in the image contain Riff headers, and the m2v plugin for TMPGEnc wont read the files properly.


Ripping with VCDGear


First select cue/bin -> mpeg conversion. Whether or not you tick Fix MPEG Errors is up to you, I always select it to be safe. Now click the load button and browse the bin/cue image, load in the cue file.Now in the Track list window you will see the file(s) you need so all you have to do is make sure a file is selected. If there is more than one file, rip them all to be safe and check later to see which files you need and which you don't. The program will now ask for a location to save an MPEG file. When you have that done, click the start button. If you have more than one file in there that is part of your movie, you will have to find some software to merge them, TMPGEnc can do it (file - mpeg tools - merge and cut) but its not covered in this guide. Remember if your movie is on more than one CD-Image which it really should be, then you will have to repeat this method for each CD-Image.


After Ripping


After you have Ripped the file(s) to your HDD, the next step is to use TMPGEnc to encode them to VCD, but before we can do that, we have to setup two external encoders and the m2v plugin with TMPGEnc. Just so we are clear, if your SVCD is more than one CD-Image, then you will have to repeat the above method again after you have encoded the first CD, for the second CD-Image and third etc. There will be no merging files in this guide, if it came as 2 SVCD's, then its going to be 2 VCD's.
