Thanks a lot. However I have written some shell scripts myself based on mplayer/mencoder. You (and others interested) can find them also at http://users2.ooodev.org/~ooocon2008/. Brief documentation: I have copied all the DVDs from the OOoCon to ISO files, to be able to process them automatically. 'ripdvd.sh' encodes the all ISO files in the directory, where the script is started, to AVI files. As the 'raw' videos have sometimes unwanted material at the beginning and/or end, some sessions are even fragmented onto two DVDs, 'cutMedia.sh' cuts them into the right pieces. Input file names, output file names and time information are kept in 'cut.conf'. Finally, the fragmented videos can be joined with 'joinMedia.sh'. > My only experience with encoding is using Handbrake on a PPC so my > experience is limited, but a DVD down to 20MB? Doubt that would be possible > unless we are watching stamp-size videos? 20MB is hardly enough for a proper audio-only encoding, even stamp-size videos have around 40MB in the tests I have been running.
