Step2: Edit your AVI video. Open your storyboard by clicking "View storyboard." Your storyboard will be your timeline and where you will do most of your editing. For you movie folks we can call it your "cutting room floor." To put your video in the storyboard, drag it from your library to the storyboard. Click the plus sign on your timeline so you can see video and audio lines. If you want to add extra audio to your piece, import it the same way you did your video.
Step3: Play your AVI video and watch for where you want to cut and delete the extraneous video. Place your timeline cursor (the blue line that crosses perpendicular to the timeline) where you want to cut your video and split it by choosing "Edit split." Split your original video as many times as you want. Once you split the video you see the rest of the original video in your library. Delete the video you don't want by pressing "Delete" on your keyboard.
Step4: Add video by dragging it to the storyboard. Make sure your cursor is where you want it on the timeline because the program will automatically place your audio track where your cursor is. You will notice your audio track goes into the audio space on your timeline. To edit audio follow the same steps as the video.

This guide demonstrates the simple steps to convert DVD videos to MPEG movies. Converting DVD to MPEG enables you to play on computer, to get video segments for burning to Video CD (VCD), Super VCD (SVCD), and even DVD.

About DVD
DVD generally stands for Digital Video Disc or Digital Versatile Disc. There are VOB, IFO, BUP files in the folder named VIDEO_TS, under the DVD folder. The VOB files generally contain showing data like video, audio, subtitle, etc. The IFO files contain the navigation information of how the data show up. The BUP files are the backup of the IFO files.

About MPEG
MPEG, an acronym for o the Moving Picture Experts Group, has standardized several compression formats, such as MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 (MP4), etc. MPEG-1 is the initial video and audio compression standard. It was designed for video with transmission rate of about 1.5 Mbps, and is used as the standard for VCD now. MPEG-2 is video and audio standard for broadcast-quality television. It is used for over-the-air digital television ATSC, DVB and ISDB, digital satellite TV services like Dish Network, digital cable television signals, SVCD, and with slight modifications, as the .VOB (Video OBject) files that carry the images on DVDs.

Even though the DVD video is encoded with MPEG-2, the video data is formatted as VOB, and you need a DVD ripper to get the MPEG video from the VOB files. Pavtube DVD Ripper offers the conversion from DVD to MPEG-1 and from DVD to MPEG, including MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 with output as .mpg format.

Note: The profile for DVD (*.vob) is also encoded with MPEG2, but the output format is VOB.


Select the profile according to the usage of the output video. The video is encoded with NTSC standard by default. Click "Settings" button if you want to change it to PAL.

The VCR and DVD player are manufactured with NTSC or PAL standard to play corresponding VCD, SVCD and DVD. If you want to play video with PAL standard on a VCR with NTSC standard, you may not get the image.
NTSC, an acronym for National Television System Committee, is the TV format used in United States, Canada, Mexico, Japan, Philippines, and other countries.

About DVD
DVD generally stands for Digital Video Disc or Digital Versatile Disc. DVD, providing large space and interactive content, has been widely used as data storage of video, audio, games, presentation, and so on. For DVDs with movies, there are three kinds of files under the VIDEO_TS folder, i.e. VOB, IFO, and BUP files. A VOB contains data for video (generally MPEG-2), audio and subtitles. IFO Files contain the data for player navigation, such as the start of a chapter, the control of subtitle, and so on. BUP files are just backup files of the IFOs.

About AVI
AVI stands for Audio Video Interleave. Defined by Microsoft, it can work as a container to be embedded with different codec, such as DivX, XviD, etc. The AVI video generally brings high quality, but occupies larger disk space. It is suitable for further video editing.

To get the AVI files, you need a converter to convert DVD to AVI with the segments you want. Pavtube DVD Ripper offers AVI formats with various codec, which will certainly meets your needs to play DVD on computer, to edit video, to import video to PowerPoint, etc.

1. Run Pavtube DVD Ripper
If you have not installed it yet, please download the free trial version of Pavtube DVD Ripper.

2.Add DVD video by clicking "DVD ROM " or "DVD Folder or IFO File ".

3. Choose the AVI format on the "Format" drop down box.
There are 6 profiles with AVI as output format.

Pavtube DVD Ripper offer several options for AVI with uncompressed codec and less compressed codec. The uncompressed codec is available for the profile "Losseless uncompressed avi". The profile is set with recommended settings, and you can also change the output format by clicking the "Settings" button. There are six video codec for uncompressed AVI: BGR24, RGB555, YUY2, UYVY, and RGBA32.

RGBA32 completely stores 4 color components: R (Red), G (Green), B (Blue), and A (Alpha). If a video does not include alpha channel, the alpha channel here will not come into effect.
BGR24 completely stores 3 color components: RGB. If a video does not include alpha channel, the effect of RGBA32 is the same as BGR24, but the output file with RGBA32 will be a quarter larger than that with BGR24. If a video includes alpha channel, but is encoded with BGR24, the alpha channel will be lost, i.e. there is no transparency.
RGB555 does not store all the 3 color components: RGB. There are 5 bits for each color component (8 bits for that of RGBA32 and BGR24). It does not display the gradual color change effectively.
YUY2 is different from RGB series. It uses YUV color space with 3 components: Y (luminance component),
U (chrominance component), V (chrominance component), not RGB. The file with YUV2 is a bit worse than that with RGBA32 or BGR24, but better than RGB555.
UYVY is the same as YUY2, but the storing sequence is different. The file with UYVY is the same as that with YUY2.

The output quality differs slightly. The following comparison works as a reference.
RGBA32 >= BGR24 > YUY2 = UYVY > RGB555

Please choose the codec according to the source file. You'd better choose BGR24 if there is no alpha channel with the video, as the effect is the same as that with RGBA32. Choose RGBA32 if there is alpha channel.

There are 5 profiles for AVI with less compressed codec, AVI – Audio Video Interleaved, XVID Video, DIVX Video, AVI with DV Codec, Creative Zen Player Video.

The profile for Creative Zen Player Video is particular for Creative Zen with preset image dimension and video bit rate. You can choose the codec from DivX and XviD.
DV AVI can be transferred to digital camcorder.
The video codec: MS MPEG4 V3, MS MPEG4 V2, and MJPEG here are for "AVI – Audio Video Interleaved".

The compressed codec in Pavtube DVD Ripper are based on YUV color space. Generally speaking, with the same bit rate, the quality of the compressed codec shows up the following
H.264 >= XVID > MS MPEG4 V3 / V2 > MJPEG
DivX is a commercial codec, and the ripper uses the free DivX 3.

Please note that you shall install related codec if you want to play the output AVI on computer, such as DivX, XviD.

You change also change other settings like Bit Rate, Video Size, Frame Rate, etc. to make it work as what you expect. Click on "Save as", if you want to save the format for future references with the parameters you set. Click the "OK" button, and the format will be applied to all the files.
