Recently, I purchased a DVD containing a television series. It contained 3 disc with 10 episodes total. Each DVD contains your choice of one video that contains multiples episodes or each episode separately. I ripped the first two DVDs by selecting to rip each episode separately. On the 3rd DVD, I had some difficulties selecting the episodes each by itself but was able to rip the one video that contains the multiple episodes. So, now I have that .mp4. I would now like to use Video AI to create the separate episodes. But, how do I do it? Is there a tutorial that would help me on this? Or can someone step me through this?
Hi, You can lossless cut on keyframes (without re-encoding) using Avidemux the two < > buttons jumps from keyframe to keyframe and then use “A/B” and press delete to cut away and remux.
But maybe you should start from beginning when you get mp4 from riping, then re-encode happened which is not good. 1:1 read out from DVD as for example MakeMKV gives you orig DVD codec MPEG2 without any loss in a MKV file.
So, you are telling me that I cannot do this with Video AI.
sure you can direct import and choose a segment of the video by setting start end point into tvai. But TVAI can’t handle AC3/DTS/Atmos and multiple tracks, when you loose it, or surround is gone because you have to convert into aac, you can fix that hardly because you have no entry point to join afterwards audio from source to it.
I personal like final segmented source files keeping everything. Then I upscale without audio and when done muxing all tracks from the source to the upscaled video.
Just a sample, 1:1 read out from DVD and all you have to do is replacing the video with upscaled one into MKVToolnix
Strange that not every episode is a file, you loose subtitles when you split. Could be that the rip is not done correctly? As already mentioned, if you get h264 from a DVD, then riper did a re-encode
The Video AI app is not really set up for a workflow like this but you can export out different sections of the video using the In/Out markers like Mayday suggested.
Here is quick video to highlight this workflow.
