But it still transcoded video properly? Could you send me the output of `mencoder -ovc help' and `mencoder -oac help'?

Re: DVD to tablet
Hi, I'm using Debian, but never played on video encoding... There's lots of tools in Debian to convert videos. But the question is... what is the best solution for our 770 tablets? I mean the simplest and lightest (I don't mind about video quality, but disk space...) So... what kind of format should I choose as the final form for my DVD to be seen on my 770?

Manually selecting the correct title and chapters should allow you to get at other episodes on a DVD which has more than one. And for foreign language stuff, Handbrake lets you "bake in" the appropriate subtitles. Very handy for watching my DVDs while away from home. -- Paul ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
DVD to tablet
For Windows users interested in taking their DVDs with them on their tablets via a single pass encoding... (Note : other options may be available for other OSs). * Get and install Handbrake & DVD43 (Free downloads -- search google for links) * Put the DVD in your computer, and open up Handbrake. ** In Handbrake, *** Select Presets > PSP, *** Source -- DVD Video_TS folder, *** Pick a file location for the MP4 files. *** Select Mpeg4 for encoder. *** Set Width 400 Height 240 *** Select Video Settings => Constant Quality 70%. (makes a 200-400M file depending upon movie length). You can optionally select a target file size... I haven't tried that option yet. *** Click Encode Video. It can take a while to encode (hrs), especially the last 'mux' step, which doesn't provide a time to completion. * Move the file to your tablet via USB cable. * The file plays on Media Player. Select file with file manager. Get better battery life by going offline. Note -- Handbrake (v 0.9.1) doesn't appear to properly handle encoding DVD TV episodes. It only encodes the first show on the DVD. A work around may be to queing individual files in the video_ts folder with Handbrake. Disclaimer -- Don't use this process to make and pass around copies of copyrighted DVDs... That's a crime... -- Always, Dr Fred C [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
