Would you rather read the manpage? mencoder takes an input audio/video combination and transforms it to a different audio/video combination. Without telling anything about the source video and the desired target format, how do you expect anyone to provide the command to encode it?

Re: how to use mplayer to convert DVD to a file?
If I give enough details, can you help me out? If my memory doesn't fail, there are only 2 directories in DVD, I copy them to /mnt/dos4/1415 And I can use vlc to play by just specifying directory. After conversion, I wish frame size is about 384x288. The film is 90 minute long, I wish the file size is about 500 megabytes. As to format I wish it can be played in Windows and Linux. --- On Tue, 11/11/08, Ron Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: Ron Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: how to use mplayer to convert DVD to a file?

I have copy DVD to hard drive. It's at /mnt/dos4/1415 I want to convert it to save space. Do you know the command? Encoding DVD to a file is a complex subject. The code below will do a two pass encode from your file to a 263 avi file. When done it will play the file. You can ctrl-c to stop the encode at any time. mencoder /mnt/dos4/1415 -oac mp3lame -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=h263p:vhq:vbitrate=629:vpass=1 -vf scale=854:480,pullup -sid 0 -o /output.avi mencoder /mnt/dos4/1415 -oac mp3lame -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=h263p:vhq:vbitrate=629:vpass=2 -vf scale=854:480,pullup -sid 0 -o /output.avi mplayer /output.avi Paul Yurt founder mastermoz.com Check out our site to make webmasters happy www.mastermoz.com -Original Message- From: Serena Cantor [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 11, 2008 7:04 PM To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: how to use mplayer to convert DVD to a file?
