Re: having problems copying a dvd
Hello Thanks Roland for the parameters in the mplayer/mencoder... To make things easier.. I recomend to create a profile in the directory ~/.mplayer/mencoder.conf with the content: = [pal] oac=lavc=yes ovc=lavc=yes lavcopts=vcodec=mpeg2video:vrc_buf_size=1835:vrc_maxrate=6000:vbitrate=4000 Lavcopts=keyint=15:trell=yes:mbd=2:precmp=2:subcmp=2:cmp=2:dia=-10 lavcopts=predia=-10:cbp=yes:mv0=yes:aspect=16/9 lavcopts=vqmin=1:lmin=1:dc=10:vstrict=0 lavcopts=acodec=ac3:abitrate=192 lavcopts=lumi_mask=0.2:dark_mask=0.15:scplx_mask=0.2:tcplx_mask=0.1 vf=scale=720:576,harddup=yes af=lavcresample=48000 mpegopts=format=dvd:tsaf=yes of=mpeg=yes srate=48000 channels=2 ofps=25 [pal_cinemascope] profile=pal vf=scale=720:432,expand=720:576,harddup=yes == Or using the options from Roland extract the stream (as Roland said...) mplayer dvd://1 -dumpstream -dumpfile dvd.mpg crop detect... mplayer -vf cropdetect dvd.mpg and then finally encode with mencoder using the profile above and Roland's example... mencoder -profile pal -vf crop=704:416:10:80 dvd.mpg -o film.mpg the result will be a high definition video with 1024x576 PAL (25 fps) 16:9 aspect with audio AC3 192Kbps (plays using HDMI) in any dvd player... or in your computer. if the source (dvd.mpg) is in 2.35/1 ratio use -profile pal_cinemascope and mencoder will adjust the aspect for the video. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

If you call dd without bs= parameter, the default of 512 is assumed. This may not be correct for video DVDs. You could try bs=1m, but I'm not sure what the correct block size for DVDs is... For copying them, I always felt comfortable with the vobcopy tool (for reading), and growisofs -dvd-compat (for writing). Both tools can be installed via ports or packages.
