Re: [mythtv-users] Language on ripped dvd

[Allan Wilson]

Thanks for all the help on this Ryan. Do you know how mtd rips a movie if it doesn't use mencoder. Has anyone run in to any documentation on how Myth rips movies in detail. Any other experiences from anyone would be helpful.

I had the same problem ripping one dvd (Bride and Prejudice...dont ask).

Then tonight while watching (not ripping) Alexander from Myth, the 2nd
DVD automagically started playing with French language.  I was able to
drop out and manually 'mplayer dvd:// -alang en ...' and everything was
fine.  After the it was over, I checked the 'Import DVD' option, and the
default track shows up as 'en ac3 6ch', so I assume I woulda had the
same problem with that disc as well.

My default play command is: 'mplayer dvd:// -fs -ao alsa -vo xv'

The problem "seems" to be that transcode operates "dumbly" off audio tracks, and the default language can switch between chapters.  For ripping, I don't know if there's anything you can really do about it.  There doesn't currently seem to be any way to have mtd use mencoder, and I don't see anyway to set the language as opposed to the audio track for transcode.  The only good solution I know is to run mencoder manually and specify the language you want via -alang or -aid.

Also, if you use mplayer, using -alang or -aid may prevent the problem when you are just watching and not ripping.  It certianly won't hurt anything to add it to your default command line, unless of course you are multilingual and don't always want to watch in the same language. (If you watch many foreign films, it wouldn't hurt to add in a -sid or -slang for subtitles either, just make sure you have a button on your remote set to turn them off!)
