Hey Everyone,
I tried ripping my Promo Only DVD's to MPEG and VOB but have been very disappointed with the quality. Has anyone been able to purchase Videos already in this format, and if so, Is the quality better than doing it yourself?
Thanks!

There are quite some posts about ripping Promo only. Please search the forum on Promo only, to find those threads.
Keep in mind that VDJ does not support 48kHz audio in 3.4 well. You should probably reencode the audio from 48kHz to 44kHz. The support for 48kHz audio could me improved in the upcomming v4.

Try here. I also use PromoOnly, and don't have any problems.

I also use Promo Only. No visual problems. I get around the audio issues with 48khz. (And I don't re-encode to do it. That is just crazy.)

@djderricke - how do you get around the 48khz audio problem without re-encoding. I have ripped my PromoOnly DVDs but I think the 48khz audio is causing problems. How are you guys using videos ripped from DVD with 48khz audio.

there's an excellent program in which you can change audio format without affecting video quality you can change from 48 to 44khz and it's very easy to use, check it out.

@anewsome,
I use an external codec and set Virtual DJ to use that instead. The only problems I have are when I load another video, if it stutters the video output, I lose sync with the audio and video. (So I usually wait until the very last second to load the next video in. I only have the last five months of Promo Only in VOB format, the rest I re-encodeded and hated every minute of it. :)

what external codec are you using? wmp codec?, if so could you tell me why whe I load the videos it takes more time than the internal codec?

I use the codecs that are in the K-lite codec pack. the reason the videos will take longer to load is because the loading is no longer completely internal to VDJ. The decoding process is being handled by your external codec which is then passed to VDJ. Depending on your machine that will slow things down a little bit.

For the Promos, I have ripped and encoded them all to DivX... it took some work.
First, I used DVD Decrypter to rip by chapter, then I wrote a Perl program to tag the files with information from Promo Only's spreadsheets available on the internet. My program can merge the intros with the main video if you want (but I usually don't do that).
I use Dr. Divx 2 to encode the videos... a few problems, but if you learn how to use Dr. Divx 2, it's a pretty easy automatic process, and you can just let it run overnights.
If anyone would like my perl script, just PM me.
BTW, I own nearly all the Promo DVDs except for a handful of the Country Video, and some Hot Video from April 2001 to August 2001. If anyone has got these, I'd love to talk about a buy or trade kind of scenario....
For that matter, I was thinking about setting up some kind of a community for people interested in buying, selling, or trading music videos and MV-DVDs... who might be interested in something like this?
