Thanks for the ideas. Useful. I'll look into them.

 Thank you both. I'll look into those ideas tomorrow (it's evening here
 after a long week of short nights and much adrenalin).

Well, using undvd stripped out an 86MB .avi file, which I've uploaded to the 
Web site. The sound came out just fine in ogg, but I haven't got a usable 
mp3 out of it yet.

Is there a way to stream an avi file through a browser? Just clicking on it 
in Firefox causes it to be downloaded first, which might well put people 
off when it takes so long.

FWIW I don't believe undvd's AVI files to be very specification  
compliant. The author implemented .mp4 support after I pointed this  
out to him, and I have found those to be very good indeed - they play  
on a variety of systems (PS3, Mac) and with very good quality (use the  
2-pass option).

I think all the videos you see streamed on the web are stored as .flv  
files. mplayer can convert to .flv, then it looks like you upload it -  
and a player - to your server along with a little HTML. This http://www.longtailvideo.com/players/jw-flv-player/ 
 appears to be (based on?) the same player YouTube uses.


Having said that, why not just upload the avi or mp4 to YouTube or  
Google video? I assume the material is not under restricted copyright.

You would use something like mplayer.

I think undvd produces a separate audio track as a by-product of  
ripping the DVD to .avi or .mp4


You might try running that on the disk  looking at what's created  
during the process.

 Is there a Gentoo-ish way of doing this, or should I start messing about 
 with bits of wire and other equipment?
 

The way I do it usually:

mplayer dvd://1 -dumpaudio -dumpfile sound.ac3
[wait]
a52dec -o wav  sound.ac3  sound.wav
oggenc sound.wav

e voila: sound.ogg is a rather small audio file at ~128kbit/s (or was it

You'll need

media-video/mplayer USE=dvd a52
media-libs/a52dec
