Yeah, I more meant which of their programs would best accomplish the task once i get them, been reading through the features and seems the Converter would be the one since it's not really on a DVD

Yeah, your VOBs are already ripped so now it's job for the converter. Just show it the Video_TS folder and it will cue all the VOBs and give you options for audio tracks and subs etc.

Finally! I was getting nervous no one would drop by to say that stupid shit 
I'm surprised you haven't recommended setting up Linux and using some command line encoder, lol.
P.S. I know 1-click solutions aren't the best but ffs the guy just wants to encode a movie for his mom - it ain't a scene release battle with per-pixel examination of the final results  |
Let me you right back. 
MeGUI is very simple to use for anyone who has a brain on his shoulders. What more, because you have precise control over the x264 encoding, you can encode faster than the retarded 1-click tools and get a better result visually. Once you find a profile that suits your needs, MeGUI is almost as simple and fast to set up as a 1-click tool.  |

I'll give it a try as well Natan either way, would like to find something in the long run that I can just open up and start converting without having to mess with it every time. Thanks for the alternate solution

I haven't ripped DVDs either. I use MeGUI for bluray rips and encoding game footage or other video edits. If configured correctly, x264 can produce compliant h264 streams at a better quality than most of the commercial encoders. 
@Spazmotic Cheers! |

Wow..expected this to be a little quicker on a Quad Core machine..zzz

Which profile did you use? If you took the Placebo one, what did you expect? I find custom-made ones best, but the medium-slow are sufficient enough for DVD encoding.

Wow must of cleared the new posts and didnt see this.. I used the "Indexer" option, which grabs the VOB files...I set it to Nero AAC Digital X264..set some random audio setting..send it to the queue um..then I set it to MKV and off it goes..seems to take roughly 2 hours for a DVD 5. Seems like it would be quicker but with 3 workers running on a decent Intel quad core.

Wait, we are talking about MeGUI, right?
If so, you must have selected an "Encoding settings" preset here:
Since you are encoding a DVD, select the DXVA-Standard preset and click Config.
Select Target File Size, set tuning to Film (I assume you are encoding a film from the DVD, right?), and click on New and give the new preset a name (ala "My DVD Preset"). Don't worry about the bitrate, MeGUI will modify that according to the target size you select later. Medium should be sufficient enough for good quality for a DVD, but you can move it to Slow or Slower if you wish better quality at the expense of speed. Slower than Slower is very unnecessary for a DVD.
Now when you click AutoEncode in the main window, just select the size you want and it will do the rest for you.

Well following guides and not asking me (or in the forum in general) -> 
I will write some tutorial later. If I forget, drop me a PM reminder.

OK, so I assume you have ripped already the VOB files and have the main title VOBs somewhere:
VTS_04_1.VOB, VTS_04_2.VOB, ...
Install AviSynth 2.5.X, then DGIndex (you probably have already).
Run DGIndex. Drag the all the VOB files and make sure they are in order. Set Audio -> Output Method to Demux All Tracks. Click F4 and save the *.d2v file in the same folder as the VOB files.
Now extract this plugin: http://avisynth.org/warpenterprises/files/autocrop_25_dll_20050103.zip into <AviSynth install dir>\Plugins.
Now you can use my boilerplate AviSynth script for your DVD encodes:
 Spoiler: | MPEG2Source("...")
#For NTSC, 16:9 video, enable this:
#Spline36Resize(856, 480)
#For NTSC, 4:3 video, enable this:
#Spline36Resize(640, 480)
#For PAL, 16:9 video, enable this:
#Spline36Resize(1024, 576)
#For PAL, 4:3 video, enable this:
#Spline36Resize(768, 576)
#For NTSC films enable to inverse telecine:
#tfm().tdecimate()
#Enable to automatically crop anamorphic video:
#AutoCrop(mode = 0, samples = 20) |
Now every time you want to encode a DVD, just copy this boilerplate to the DVD dir, and just need to add the name of the d2v file and enable the needed options. For example, if we want to encode Inception which is a 16:9 NTSC film, This will be the resulting AviSynth script:
| Spoiler: | MPEG2Source("bow-inception.d2v")
#For NTSC, 16:9 video, enable this:
Spline36Resize(856, 480)
#For NTSC, 4:3 video, enable this:
#Spline36Resize(640, 480)
#For PAL, 16:9 video, enable this:
#Spline36Resize(1024, 576)
#For PAL, 4:3 video, enable this:
#Spline36Resize(768, 576)
#For NTSC films enable to inverse telecine:
tfm().tdecimate()
#Enable to automatically crop anamorphic video:
AutoCrop(mode = 0, samples = 20) |
You can find information on your disk when saving with DGI. It tells you the framerate (29.97 -> NTSC, 25 -> PAL) and aspect ratio. When done, drag the AVS file to the Video Input field in MeGUI.
Now you need to decide if you want to encode the AC3/DTS files into something else or leave them and just mux in the final MKV. If you want to encode, then you can drag the *.AC3/*.DTS file inside MeGUI's Audio Input field and then set the settings you wish. I recommend using Nero AAC as it is very good. Set the video encoding preset as said above.
Then click the AutoEncode button. If you are encoding the audio as well, then just select the MKV container, file size and click "Queue". If you are using the original audio file, then check the "Add additional content" checkbox and click "Queue". You can then add the AC3/DTS file, subtitles, etc. It takes a little while until the AutoEncode window goes away (~30 sec), so wait for it.
Go to the Queue tab. Click Start. Encoding time is of course dependent on your audio and video encoding settings. If file size is not important exactly, then you can change the encoding mode to Target Quality and then see which one you like most (18 to 20 is a good compromise).
Once you have most of the settings set, it will become almost one-click like, just edit AVS boilerplate with the D2V file, set correct options in AVS and click AutoEncode.
