Windows One Button DVD/BluRay Ripping using a Launcher from within XBMC

I want DVD in the filename so XBMC shows a DVD case e.g. Moviename.dvd.mkv

What would be the code for that?

XBMC should autodetect the resolution as soon as you play the disc and set the DVD box... but to do what you are requesting, add this line to the code to the AutoRipDVD.bat file:


Add it in the last section so it reads as follows, (positioning is critical)


I haven't tested this as I am currently not on my main computer, but it should work. Let me know how it goes.

*Note: This will flag all rips as DVD's even if they are Blu-Ray's

Hi, I've just tried this out, firstly, great script very useful, although now I've got over 300 DVDs to work through

I've just ripped my first DVD (300), which worked fine accept subtitles are always on and I'm unable to turn them off, seems they may have been hardcoded. Any ideas?

Also, doesn't appear the file rename has worked, although this may be because the film is called "300" looks like your script deletes first few charecters? My file has turned out as "TeraBoxx_00.mkv" Which is stored within a folder called TeraBoxx.

Teraboxx is the name I've given to my Terabyte drive so not sure why it's picking this up?

The script won't add subtitles or grab them seperately from the original disc, so they must have been hardcoded into the movie before the rip.

That is strange about the renaming. Is this the only disc that has the issue or do all discs you are ripping get named TeraBoxx? The script uses the volume name of whatever drive letter you set in the AutoRipDVD.bat file at the top. The reason the script deletes anything is because all titles are ripped as "title_00, title_01 etc etc", by MakeMKV, and then the script renames them to the volume name of the DVD drive as it is the same name as the movie 99% of the time.

Please check in windows what the volume name of the DVD drive is with the 300 disc in it. Also please double check all your paths and settings in the AutoRipDVD.bat file. Some paths need the trailing slash.

Report back and I'll try and get this resolved for you.

Feel like an idiot now! Had the wrong drive letter, thanks SpinalCrack.

I've still got the issue where the subtitles show on 300 after it's ripped, I've played the DVD itself through XBMC and there aren't subtitles in it. Strange

The AutoDVDRip also minimizes my XBMC and doesn't re-maximize, is there a config I'm missing that can prevent this?

Hmm, ya that is bizzare about the subtitles. There must be a stream on the disc that has them hardcoded or something that its grabbing, and a different stream when you just play it, because the script and MakeMKV cannot add the subtitles.

Your minimize/maximize issue is the first I've heard of this happening and I've never experienced it myself so only guessing here, but try setting your XBMC system settings to use fullscreen windowed mode instead of a true fullscreen and it should fix it I think.

Awesome addon!! Im having a problem though. Followed the instruction and when I launch AutoDVDRip from XBMC it minimizes XBMC and gives the message about starting and it could be awhile etc., but after about 5 min it opens the drive and there is nothing in my c:/Movies/. I even did a search and could not find the rip anywhere. Anyone have any suggestion?

Please open and copy your AutoRipDVD.bat file and paste it here so I can see your settings and I'll try to help.

I'm glad you asked When I went to go copy it I realized that I had not probably labeled my RipDir. Again, this is an awesome addon. A must have for HTPCs!

Oh awesome, I'm glad it was an easy fix! Thank you for the compliments too. I find AutoRipDVD super useful and very happy to share it, and see people enjoying it too.

Also, setting XBMC to Full Screen Windowed mode stopped it from minimizing for me. This is not a request but merely a question: What would it take to have AutoRipDVD ask you whether you are ripping a tv show (change RipMinSeconds accordingly) or Movie and then place them in the appropriate folder? Also, for:
:rename
::Cuts off 1st 5 characters of fname, then appends prefix
ren %fname% "%volid%"_%fname:~5%

How hard would it be to have it possibly scan IMDB for proper title and then let you select what the proper title is before renaming?
