sure. only one program needed. top-quality results. "one command and forget about it" ( unless you want two-pass or three-pass encoding, which will need two or three commands ;o) www.mplayerhq.hu download mplayer, it will come with mencoder bundled. once you are up n running with mencoder, read their great docs. www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/ mencoder is a commandline utility, so make sure you read all there is to it before you start compressing movies. i use it currently to encode all my movies to DivX5 which makes it half the size with no quality loss. sometimes i can even enlarge the movie and still the resulting one is half the size. > can it be scripted? not only is my linux server much faster (2100XP no need. it's one or two commands you will need. but if you really need it, you could make an alias for it.. > athlon) but if it can be scripted, I can set and forget it.. start the > process, and later come back and burn the movies to disk. > > Now that I know I can do it in windows, I'd like to work out how to do > it in linux and back up my dvd collection. > > > any tips would be fantastic... > > > rgds > > Frank > > PS, Has anyone tried the XMPS player??? it looks fantastic.. and > apparently plays divx well... hmm never needed anything other that mplayer. ;o) yea yea i'm mplayer fan. no doubt about that. ;oP Damian -- Who is General Failure, and why is he reading my disk?
