tools) but now it's just a bunch of IFO and VOB files.
There are better ways to do this, just remember, if mplayer can play it, mplayer can dumpstream it.
Anyone know how I can get MythDVD to transcode this for me? All the tools
I've tried have been difficult to figure out, and the closest I've come
was to have the audio badly out of sync. I was hoping there might be a
way to connect to mtd and tell it what I want.
Don't know if this is possible, it certainly isn't necessary.
Or am I just not seeing the forest for the trees? Is there a better tool
out there to transcode ripped VOBs to avi/ogg/mpg/whatever? I'd rather
not use Windows, since my Wintel machine is badly underpowered.
I wrote a simple script (attached) to do a few basic tasks based on the information from here: http://f0rked.com/core/simplerip
It's nothing particularly brilliant, and doesn't give much feed back, but here's basically how it works:
sh trans.sh -i INFILE -o OUTFILE
-i : In file
-o : Outfile, default is temp.avi
-C : Tries to auto crop with mplayer's cropdetect filter
-c : Lets you set a crop value ie "720:352:0:66"
-s : Lets you set a scale value ie "704:304"
-b : Set the variable bitrate, default is 700
-a : Keep audio instead of transcoding (useful for AC3 audio)
-v : Volume gain adjustment, default is 3
-l : Select audio track by language, only use with VOB files!
-t : Select audio track by track ID, only use with VOB files!
If the program you used makes a clean dvd copy, you'll need to cat the vob files together before you can use my script. Let me know if it's helpful.
