Found the problem: didn't know dvd's are divided into tracks AND chapters (5 min blocks). The "-T" option requires you to specify the track and chapter number, if you only specify the track like I did, it defaults to chapter 1, and stops decoding at 5 min. If you want to get all chapters, you need to provide -1 as chapter number (which should be the real default IMO, hint to the developers), so what I should do to rip the dvd track 6 at 6 min is the following:
transcode -i /dev/dvd -x dvd -T 6,-1 -o out.avi -y ffmpeg -F mpeg4 -c
0:6:0-0:6:1
Or a faster method (the one above shows you it's skipping through all 6 minutes): transcode -i /dev/dvd -x dvd -T 6,2 -o out.avi -y ffmpeg -F mpeg4 -c
0:1:0-0:1:1
which starts reading at the 5 min mark. Oh, and I also found out that "-c" takes time units as well, so I don't need to use the cut filter. Learning, learning. Thanks anyway! -- Alex Borghgraef
