you can rip vcd's into various formats using the "mencoder" tool present with
mplayer. it supports encoding VCD/DVD tracks into various formats DivX, WMA
(;-)) and audio encoding of the soundtrack using mp3, ac3, aac and various
codecs. the encoded video and the encoded video is in the same avi file.
to install mencoder, just install mplayer from source (if you want to encode
soundtrack using mp3 format please install the lame mp3 encoder before hand and
ensure that the path to libmp3lame is included in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
variable). mplayer is available at http://www.mplayerhq.hu.
after you are done, you can check the output(encoding) formats available by:
1)audio output:
mencoder -oac help
2)video output:
mencoder -ovc help
example: rip track 1 of CD into an avi with file divx video and mp3 audio,
(two-VCD movies on a single CD):
mencoder -oac mp3lame -lameopts fast:quality=standard -ovc libavc -lacvopts
mpeg4:vhq:vbitrate=650 vcd://1 -o The_matrix_cd1.avi
i am working to an interactive script to simplify this process which will be
complete by next week (i've got my exams a month later). i'll send it over to
you then.
happy ripping,
-santanu
