Re: [gentoo-user] determining length of MPEG video
I wanted to ask if this program can rip a DVD from a CDRW drive, or do you have to use a DVD drive? (Some of the PC ones will, I think.) This is technically impossible. A DVD is a different type of disc. A cd-rw cannot read a DVD unless it is some sort of DVD/cd-rw. The reason is simply that a DVD uses a much finer laser, I want to say something like a tenth the size. This is why it can also read cds. The theory of a cd and DVD is more or less the same I believe, its just the size of laser. However at one point they stopped producing even CD-RW/DVD drivers because the laser was so small it couldn't realiably write a cd. Too easy for it to jitter I believe. -- Christopher In 1968 it took the computing power of 2 C-64's to fly a rocket to the moon. Now, in 1998 it takes the Power of a Pentium 200 to run Microsoft Windows 95. Something must have gone wrong. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

There are messages in the dvd::rip archives about AC3 passthrough causing sync problems. I have a feeling that list would get you an answer much faster.

Mplayer has support for outputting to a MPEG-PES audio or video stream. Is there a way to have MPlayer read both streams at once and output them into one file? -- Andrew Gaffney -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
