DVDPean Pro 3.7.0 - User Guide and FAQ

• Default DVD ROM: Which DVD Rom is default to read?
• Default Output Folder: The output files are default saved in the specified folder.
• Default Output Format: Specified a default output format.
• Default Split Method: Specified a default split method.
• CPU Type: Select your CPU type, and you can get maximum performance.

• DeCSS:Keep default setting for DeCSS, ASPI is needed for the drive authentification and allows to read file bigger than 1GB sometimes found on DVD. Change the key search mode if you get scrambled picture or invalid block error. The "Each VOBID" setting should work in most of cases. The Demacrovision flag remove the macro vision protection.
• Luminance: This allows you to increase the luminosity of the movie. Offset increases the ambient light. Gain is a fixed-point value (0=0.0 128=1.0 256=2.0....)
• Output Frame Rate: This is the output frame rate. This value is not automatically set and if input and output frame rate are different a pull up/down will be performed. For PAL choose 25Hz, for NTSC choose 23.97 or 29.976Hz. Avoid conversion between NTSC and PAL. The detect 24Hz flag enables 24Hz progressive NTSC dvd detection. The force 24Hz force the input to be a 24Hz progressive. Use it if you think the detection isn't correct (when getting "Too much samples...." error). I'm not sure if it works. I never experimented this problem personally. The detected input frame rate is shown in the front panel.
• Save Buffer Location: Use this to preserve to DVDROM drive, if you use a small buffer the DVD drive will be switched on/off a lot which can damage the motor. So for long rips you can use a large HDD buffer. If you want to make overlap avoid big buffer (>20MB) you may get unwanted result with multi angle DVD. Concerning performance RAM buffer is faster, if you set a large RAM buffer disable the virtual memory (Windows system settings) to get more speed.
• Other: Deinterlace: Use this when your picture is interlaced (like beside). The interpolate mode always works but you can lose a bit quality when making SVCD (due to even field interpolation). Warning the first image is always interpolated so you cannot be sure that you have selected the good field. Make a small clip to see if you're right. (This filter works on PAL DVD only; Inverse Telecine is another thing).
• Overlap: Allow you to make an overlap when the movie is cut (when making volumes). When the volume size is reached (see output setting) the decoder will go backward of the specified amount of time.
• Vertical offset allows you displace the subtitle vertically on the screen.
• Original color preserves colors from the IFO file. Uncheck the flag if you get bad looking font.

   VOB files (for DVD-Video) and .AOB files (for DVD-Audio) are MPEG-2 program streams with additional packets containing navigation and search information.
   
   
3. What is 'Bitrate'?
   Also known as Bit rate. The speed at which digital audio and video content streams from a source, such as a file, to be rendered properly by a player, or the speed at which binary content in general is streamed on a network.
   
   
4. What is 'Codec'?
   Short for compressor/decompressor. Codecs are various types of computer algorithms that are applied to audio, video, and image files to compress the size of the files.
   
   
5. What are SVCD and DIVX?
   SVCD is Super Video CD, a great method to save DVD movie to CD without losing much quality. SVCD disc is able to be played in your DVD player.
   DIVX is the MP3 for movie. You get the same video quality as DVD while keep 1/10 of the size. You can play DIVX in your computer or share it in Internet. Some newer DVD player can now play DIVX movie as well.
   
   
6. What do these parameters mean?
   Most parameters are for the expert; you can use the default setting for any DVD ripping.
   
   
7. Can I decode DVD with Macrovision encryption?
   Yes. DVDPean handles Macrovision encryption.
   
   
8. How to convert to a big file without split to several 700M files?
   At the last step of the wizard, you can select the output file size to "infinite" instead of the default 74Minute VCD or 74Minute ISO CD.
