Re: [dvd::rip] Using mplayer -dumpstream instead of tccat?

Hi once again,

It's not looking too good. Pass 1 is currently at 150% (!) and doesn't
actually seem to have created an output file at all. I think the lack of
AC3 information is causing some trouble as well.

From the logs, here's the transcode command line

mkdir -m 0775 -p
'/home/phillip/Documents/media/movies/DieFettenJahreSindVorbei/tmp' &&
cd /home/phillip/Documents/media/movies/DieFettenJahreSindVorbei/tmp &&
`which nice` -n 10 dr_exec transcode -H 10 -a 0 -x vob,null -i
/home/phillip/Documents/media/movies/DieFettenJahreSindVorbei/vob/005 -w
1100,50 -b 192 --a52_drc_off -f 25 -R 1 -y xvid4,null -o /dev/null
--print_status 20 && echo DVDRIP_SUCCESS

I'm no transcode expert, but judging from transcode --help, these are
probably wrong:

  -x vob,null
-y xvid4,null
         ^^^^
This means no audio, right?

-o /dev/null

I don't think it should be writing the output to /dev/null ?

Exact log file at end of e-mail.


From the given transcode command line I've now managed to modify it for
my needs, by replacing the null arguments with ac3 and ogg,
respectively, and specifying files for -o and -m.

That seems to produce what I want, at least for the first couple of
seconds, now to let it convert the whole movie.


So in summary, mplayer -dumpstream does seem to produce a usable VOB,
getting dvd::rip to play with a VOB file it didn't rip itself, on the
other hand, seems to be a lot trickier.

JÃrn, if you do have the time, I'd very much appreciate a choice of
ripper in dvd::rip, but if not I guess it's a good excuse for me to
learn how to use transcode. Or possibly even learn Perl and implement
the support into dvd::rip myself. O_O
