Introduction

This is gotta be one of the most hardest DVD titles I've ever had to worked with, so I'll explain (to the advanced ones of you) how to rip it properly.

Doing It Right!

X-Men is encoded in a very strange way, the VOB structure includes 23 VOB ID's, which we have to split. So split the files using vStrip and a stream list, the correct command line is
vStrip @stream.lst -v -oXX this will split the files according to the VOB ID. now, ID #1 up to ID #8 is PURE progressive, field order A. so nothing special about it. ID #9 is INTERLACED, field order B, and 10-23 are again, PROGRESSIVE, field order A. the idea here, is that you have to save 3 DVD2AVI project files, for each set of ID'S (1-8, 9, 10-23), encode 1-8 and 10-23 as 23.976 with pulldown using field order A, and then applying inverse telecine on ID #9, and encoding it in 23.976 with pulldown flags using field order B, then mergine them all together and adding audio. that's about it. sophisticated, huh? Enjoy! :)
