1.  Load process settings if it is not already loaded.  Since we have already set up Nandub in the previous step, all we need to do is select our preferred bitrate.  As previously noted, use a bitrate calculator to estimate the projected file size.

2.  Click on "Audio->Wav audio" and selected the ripped .wav file from the DVD2AVI project.  Make sure you have "Direct stream copy" selected also.  If the audio is out of sync with the video, you will need to sync it using the "Interleaving" option below.

3.  Click on "Video->Filters" and add the resize filter.  The dimensions should be 4:3 (or in some cases 5:3) on most North America DVDs and set the filter mode to "Precise bilinear".  Also make sure "Full processing mode" is selected.  After you're done, click ok once to get back to the Filters selection screen.

4.  (OPTIONAL) The next few steps are optional.  If you want to add subtitles to your rips, you will have to add a subtitle filter.  Make sure you have VobSub or any other subtitle plugin installed. 

5.  (OPTIONAL) Click "Open" and select the .ifo file you ripped off your DVD.

6. (OPTIONAL) Nandub will ask you where you want the subtitles to be stored, I usually select the same directory as my ripped DVD, but you can pick anywhere.  After you press "OK", another window will pop up.  Nandub should have already selected all the subtitles to rip, but if it didn't, press the RIGHT arrow so your subtitles show on both the right panes.  Now click "I've stripped the source..".  The program will start ripping the subs and store them into the selected folder.

7. (OPTIONAL) Once its done, it will return to the main subtitle option screen.  Select the subtitle you want to rip, uncheck "Smooth image" (makes the subtitles look blurry if checked) and check "Save settings for next run".  The Transparency settings should be all the way to the right for the boldest letters.  The Time offset option should only be used if your subtitles are out of sync on the DVD.  DON'T check "Custom colors", it will look screwy.  Press "OK" until you are at the beginning screen.

8.  Now we are all set to add the video.  Drag and drop the pseudo-avi file you created in the previous step into the main window.

9.  Press Play output (3rd button at the bottom).  Watch the movie for a few seconds to make sure the video/audio/subtitle are all in sync.  If not, you will have to sync them (shown previously).  If everything is fine, then all you need to do is highlight which parts of the movie you want to encode.  To do this, move the slider to the starting point and press the single left arrow (12th button).  Then move it to the end point and press the single right arrow (13th button).  The timeline at the bottom should highlight the segment to be copied.  Note that if you don't specify which parts to encode, nandub will automatically encode the whole file.  Now save your avi file.  Just bypass all the warning messages, and when the video is encoding, uncheck "Show input video" and "Show output video".

10.  Now you should a divx file with an uncompressed wav channel.  Fire up Nandub.  Set the Video to Direct stream copy and the audio to Full processing mode.

11.  Go to the audio compression menu and choose the option that best matches your DVD.  Most DVDs have a frequency of 48 Khz, so just choose 128kbps/48 Khz.  If you don't see the option listed below, you need to install the Radium MP3 codec.

12.  Now set the volume of the Divx file to 300% of the original, since most DVDs are set too low anyways.

13.  Finally, save your .avi.  You now have a file worthy of your name ^__^.
