File structure on DVD - chains, angles etc.

| Now that I've got a bit of a grasp of ripping DVD's, I've been looking at the file structures of any DVD I can get hold of, using Smartripper. I've just looked at a 2 DVD set (The Planets) and I'm completely out of my depth - again! Each disc contains 4 x 50min. episodes from the TV series. Smartripper shows (on disc 1) Pro. chain 1 / angle 1 = 0 mins. Pro. chain 2 / angle 2 = 49 mins. Pro. chain 3 / angle 3 = 0 mins. Pro. chain 4 / angle 4 = 49 mins. etc. Chain 2 is obviously the first episode. When I tried to rip it, starting with chain 1, Smartripper froze at 9%. What's the secret to ripping (and burning) a disc such as this, with multiple episodes? And why is Smartripper freezing on me? I'm obviously doing something wrong, 'cos it works fine on "normal" DVD's. |

| You were right, Pro. chain 2 / angle 2 = 49 mins. is the first Episode. SmartRipper should be able to rip that out to a folder, then rip Angle 4 in your example, to a new folder. Basically rip each Chapter to its own folder and then re-encode each separately. Clean the disk and if SmartRipper is not working for you, then try DVD Decrypter instead. |

 Just look at the time length for the Episodes you want and rip accordingly. |

| Thanks for clarifying the nothingness of the chain  . Problem I've got is that now people know I can rip DVD's they think I'm an expert  . Little do they know......I managed to rip the programme I was having trouble with before (The Planets). I noticed a couple of fingerprints on it (not my disc, by the way) - they don't normally cause any great problems, but these must have been greasy, so I cleaned the disc and it's fine now, so you were right - again  And before anybody asks, I use Iso-propyl alcohol swabs to clean my discs. We use these at work for cleaning fibre optic connectors and can be bought at chemist shops. So, until my next problem  Cheers. |

| Fingerprints are worse than scratchs actually. Metho on a tissue or cotton ball would be better as those IPA swabs contain a lot of water and dissolves greasy finger prints less. But if they are free from work, then I suppose they are great  You can at least rip a movie and convert it, 9 out of 10 dont even know where to start. So yes, you are an expert now. |

| Funny you should mention water in IPA. Some time ago I tried to clean the blade of a Stanley knife by soaking it in Metho. I forgot all about it and when I came back the Metho. had evaporated and the blade was covered in rust! Obviously Metho also has a significant amount of water in it, which was left behind when the alcohol evaporated, resulting in rust. Yeah, I know, it's off-topic (but you mentioned Metho and water first ). |

| NP, Retail Metho is 93% Ethanol, 2% Methaol (piosonous) and 5% water + a few small extras to make it taste bitter. The Swaps you were using are 70% IPA and 30% water. |
