I DID IT!!!

I RIPPED THE KIMERU DVD INTO AVI!!!

I'm so proud of myself that I can just burst right now.

It's pretty freaking big so I probably won't do anything with it but wow!!! I feel so happy. :) I'm a newbie to ripping DVDs but the quality... Wow... That's pretty good actually. Which explains why the whole thing is like 1.4 gig... O.o

But Sherry is happy she did it.l I could probably separate it with something...

Wow, I still can't believe I was able to do it. I mean, wow. I never thought I would be able to rip DVDs because it always seemed so hard...

I meant to do an essay today but I ripped a DVD instead. I know the system could crash tomorrow but I don't really care right now... I HAVE RIPPED A DVD!!!

They also split it into two files that are just able to fit into two DVDs so Diana, I will send those. :)

Next step: Find a way to compress those files cuz right now they're freaking huge and are taking up a ton of space on her computer. But still, it's very very cool. Does anyone have a good program for it? And/or a program to split the files? Onegai?

edit x1: Er, well, I guess I can encode it again... *thinks of the hours she's already spent on it* Okay not doing not until Chem. essay is done with. Or tomorrow night when I'm asleep...

You could try other formats. An .AVI file is primarily for editing purposes. To keep a video file (and use less storage space), try the .MPEG format instead. There is no discernible quality difference between the .AVI and the .MPEG file. For more information...

Also, when I rip my DVD, I do it by chapters, instead of ripping all the content into a single file. With chapters, it's easier to copy to a disk as well.

By the way, I have to say this, your fangirling over Kimeru is so~ cute. ^_^ Even though we are perfect strangers, we have at least that in common. If your journal entries are mostly your fangirling over Kimeru, mine are mostly fangirling over Morikubo Showtaro. ^O^

Umm, I never tried to rip DVDs, and anyway, I don't have windows >>; But a friend of mine, who's very good with DVD rips, uses a program called Vidomi °°; I don't know the details, but she told me it's good.. That and VirtualDub (to cut files).
