I don't want/need to hack freevo. I think it works fine right now. And even if I needed it, I'm not a coder. What I want to know is the proper way to make .ogm or .mkv files. For example, I have film.avi and film.srt. If I do: ogmmerge -o film.ogm film.avi film.srt I get film.ogm, yes, but its length (according to freevo) is different to the length of film.avi. And freevo doesn't show any subtitles to choose from. But if I try: ogmmerge -o film.ogm film.avi film.srt film.srt I can choose no subtitle, unknown and unknown. So that's what I want to know, how to create these files. Perhaps there is a trick to add empty/null subtitles, but I don't know how. Any help? Thx --- Using Tomcat but need to do more?

So it could be possible that the ogm parser in mmpython is broken and detects a wrong length.

Heh, I think you'd _definitely_ see some noticable effects if you put 1000 into the field. It could very well have something to do with your setup. I recall reading (or I am assuming from what I've read) that you're using X of some sort? So you have your GUI on the first head, and then TV out on the second? My setup is a dedicated X-less box, using DirectFB (more specifically the DFBMGA driver made especially for Matrox cards). No monitor attached to the first head, TV-out on the second. I ended up compiling from source for my latest run. I compiled almost everything from source to get the flexibility and make it all play nice with my G400. IIRC, the Debian package just used the standard, unaccelerated framebuffer. But I'm using Freevo 1.5.4 (compiled from source back before November) on a 2.4.27 kernel. Sorry I can't be more help at the moment. ^_^ James __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com --- Using Tomcat but need to do more?

They should probably remember that users drive the market, I think content providers would soon find that if they used the technology then people would stop viewing content on it, eventually the TV would become redundant!

In theory AVI containers can hold multiple streams, but in practice nothing seems to support that. You can make matroska files using the mkvtoolnix package: http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/ There's a GUI tool called mmg, or you can use the command line tool mkvmerge. When I rip a DVD, I use mencoder to create an avi for the movie and primary audio stream as well dump English vobsubs to a separate file (subs.sub and subs.idx files). I'll then rip separately any commentary tracks I want to keep into .ac3 files. Then I run a little script I wrote to generate a chapters index file from the DVD, and copy/paste the chapter titles if I can find them online, otherwise key them in manually. Finally I pull the DVD cover image off of amazon. Then I pass it through a script that muxes it all together calling mkvmerge with the appropriate arguments. (I can provide the script if anyone is interested but the mmg GUI tool is straightforward enough.) So I have a single file that contains the movie, subtitles, all the commentaries I want, DVD chapters, and the DVD cover image. Freevo doesn't provide a nice interface for this yet, but it will, and I've been ripping this way for a while now in anticipation. :) I've had in passing ideas to implement something like ratdvd, that rips all the DVD menus as well, and stuffs them into some custom format that a custom player (like Freevo) will play. (DVD-like menus have been on Matroska's TODO list for way too long now and I've basically given up hope expecting the format to support this.) But a custom solution is certainly possible because you can attach arbitrary files to matroska containers. Cheers, Jason. --- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
