What CL syntax are you usin with mencoder to do this? I'm
mostly just curious as I only recently got a DVD/CDrom myself.
I've had a lot of luck just copying all the files in the VIDEO_TS
directory on the DVD to a HDD dir. Then play the movie with
'mplayer dvd://1 -dvd-device /path/to/movie/name_of_movie'
Or you can 'dd if=/dev/hdc of=name_of_movie' that'll make a
copy of the DVD in the dir you run the command from. You'll just
get an extra 500mb's of useless M$ setup BS tho. Out of 9 DVD's
I have, only two refuse to be copied (an they're both older
movies?). Well, I can copy 'em, but some of the .vob files come
out -0- byte. No matter how I copy 'em. I've even tried playin
the movie to a file, eg,
'mplayer dvd://1 -dvd-device /dev/hdc > /home/tom/name_of_movie'
The same .vob's come up -0- byte. Evidently there's some copy
protection libdvdcss isn't gettin around (?).
I've done alot of reencoding .avi, .mpg, .wmv files with
mencoder and it often results in a sound not in sync situation. I
just deal with it by using the + and - keys to sync sound during
playback. Which is why I like mplayer so much, the ability to
adjust contrast, brightness, tint, color level, sync, and sound
volume on the fly during playback. I'm currently usin,
mplayer-1.0-0.pre2.4plf
mencoder-1.0-0.pre2.4plf
libdvdread3-0.9.4-2mdk
libdvdcss2-1.2.8-1plf
plus all the other PLF codecs
