Acctually you can rip multiple subtitles to one file, take a look at mplayers documentation for that. so: mencoder -sid 'your sid' -vobsubout '.sub file name without the sub' -vobsubid 'two letter for your language' -dvd 'dvd title' -dvd-device 'the directory of your rip'd dvd'.

Re: [gentoo-user] Via C3 optimization
if anyone out there has gotten one of these and could post thier /proc/cpuinfo. I'm curious about the flags and bogomips.

[gentoo-user] a feature request for emerge, what do you think.
I'm thinking that it would have been nice to have a --all switch in emerge so you could get all packages. This would be useful together with the --fetch switch to get all the files for the portage three, so you could take it with you and install on a computer without internet access. Another nice thing would be if there was a way to tell emerge to delete the distfile after the package was build. For those of us with little space, this might make it easier and prevent emerge builds from stop do to insufficient disk space. just some thoughts -- Sigurd Stordal President of GOGS Experimental Petrologist -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
