A couple of thoughts here: - I've had pretty good results with a single mencoder pass, although I understand the multi-pass rips are much better at low bit rates.
- It may be easier for the ripper to be its own full-fledged process, which could of course change working dir as needed. I guess I'm not sure what your overall design is, but I would think that you would just need to be able to start and stop a rip, and to know when it is over. Maybe you want to be able to get progress indications, too. At worst, you could define a command-line interface to a ripping process, start it with popen, and read the progress. Not sure if any of that helps.. Dave ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
