I will fix the link but it written in Greek language . Since im updating my site rather slowly take a mini guide for now and tell me if you had problems:

1) rip the dvd with dvddecrypter ( www.dvddecrypter.com ) in IFO MODE.
At stream processing enable DEMUXING for VIDEO and AC3 FILES .
Attention _!!! on : tools - options - ifo mode - File splitting - select None . Check also chapter information ifoedit.
So athe the end of the ripping will have :
movie.m2v (ONE FILE)
sound1.ac3
sound2.ac3 ...
and an ido file plus the vobs with the subtitles !

2) with VSRip load the ripped IFO
and demux all the subs !in one idx/sub
3) Use SubToSup http://www.doom9.org/index.html?/software2.htm to convert idx/sub to SUPs files
4) Use txt2sup http://www.trustfm.net/divx/SoftwareTxt2Sup.html to convert srt to SUP (put as input ifo your riped ifo ! )
5) Use ifoedit www.ifoedit.com press dvd author put m2v , ac3 , sup and press ok ! you where done

avi2dvd re-encodes the movie (loosing a bit in quality) and can add subtitles also .
Txt2sup adds subtitles on a ripped dvd . you only have to reburn it (you dont loose in quality.)

In IfoEdit -- does any of you know the syntax of the 'Scene changes / Chapters' txt-file?

One option to create some method of navigating through the DVD is to create a dummy chapters.txt file with Notepad that includes numbers on each line, starting with something like 10000 on first line, 20000 on second line, etc.
see how long the movie was and what was the framerate.
Use the length to calculate the movies length in seconds -- i.e. 1h 30mins == 90mins, 90 * 60 == 5400 seconds.
Then multiply this value with the fps value, like 5400 * 25 == 135000. Then keep the biggest value in your text file below this value and you're fine. Then simply click the Scene changes selection button in IFOEdit and select this file and you have chapters every 10,000 frames :-)

Example of chapers.txt
10000
20000
30000
...

Great, so it's pretty close to how it's defined in Avi2Dvd. You wouldn't make one on frame 0 -- or that doesn't really matter does it?

Thank you :)

attention !!! its is close BUT it is not the same !!!
ifoedit wants a FRAMEBASED chapterist (without the 0)
avi2dvd wants a timeline chapterlist from 0 based on seconds !!!
Hope that you understood ;)
