Jason, the script is great! Pretty soon I'll have copies of all my DVDs and will no longer have to live in fear of the kids handling them! (The copies, anyway.) I am having a certain issue with some of the DVDs that I'm trying to copy. At the mplex stage, I get the message: **ERROR: [mplex] Need to split output but there appears to be no %d in the filename pattern movie.mpeg Much of the time, movie.mpeg seems to go all the way to the end of the credits (i.e., it looks done to me). So, a few questions... - You said you've copied a ~100 DVDs - have you seen this before? - Any ideas what I could do to avoid it? - Since movie.mpg looks done, is there some way to force dvd9to5 to continue processing anyway? Yep, I've run into it a few times, and had a few reports of it. Apparently it is a bug in mplex. I've tried adjusting the options passed to mplex to satisfy it, and nothing seems to work. What version of mplex are you using? Cooper. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Hi, I have replaced my last windows machine with Gentoo, but forgot that i used this also for DXD ripping/copying. This machine has no X on it installed, i'm used to use DVDshrink because its very easy because you insert the dvd it compress as needed and then you choose start and the copy is done. What must i install to do this under Linux, please something easy, so i can insert a dvd and then create a copy of it. TIA Patrick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I haven't gotten up the energy to handle subtitles. It's not a cut-and-dry solution. If you're willing to forgo subtitles, you can run 'tcprobe -i /dev/dvd' and then pass the title number and audio track number to dvd9to5.pl with '-t' and '-a'. Most of the time (at least with American dvds) if you want 5.1 audio, just './dvd9to5.pl' grabs the correct stuff. ### tcprobe sample output ### (dvd_reader.c) ac3 en drc 48kHz 2Ch (dvd_reader.c) ac3 en drc 48kHz 6Ch (dvd_reader.c) ac3 es drc 48kHz 2Ch (dvd_reader.c) ac3 fr drc 48kHz 2Ch (dvd_reader.c) subtitle 00=en (dvd_reader.c) subtitle 01=es (dvd_reader.c) subtitle 02=fr (dvd_reader.c) DVD title 1/1: 28 chapter(s), 1 angle(s), title set 1 [cut chapter list] # read as: audio english stereo (stream 0) audio english 5.1(stream 1) audio spanish stereo (stream 2) audio french stereo (stream 3) subtitle english subtitle spanish subtitle french 1 or 1 titles, 28 chapters If you figure out how to do the subtitles, let me know.

Re: [gentoo-user] DVD ripping copying
im glad someone else brought this up, i have been meaning to for a while. i use Intervideo DVD Copy, and it makes an EXACT copy, with one push of a button. its the only reason i boot into windows at all. is there no program that will let you do this in linux? i havent tried wine or anything like that, does anyone think it will work in something like that? ive even considered vmware, but im not too sure how the under lying workings will jive with that, or even if the virtual machine will even see a DVD burner or just a normal cdrom. this is one of my last steps to being windows free, it would be nice to finally kick it to the curb, but i need a good replacment for that program. any ideas? is no one in linux coping entire dvds? i dont want just the movie, i want the whole dang thing! -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Nick Smith ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) scribbled: any ideas? is no one in linux coping entire dvds? i dont want just the movie, i want the whole dang thing! Naturally, I would agree with you. However, If your source dvd is a dual layer (most are) at 7.9GB, you *can't* copy it to current dvd+/-r's as they are single layer, 4.7GB. The quality loss is noticeable. When I wrote dvd9to5, I made the decision to go for quality as opposed to quantity until such time as dual-layer burners are cheap $250/$2. I suspect windows apps that copy everything over are halving the resolution, down-muxing the audio to stereo, or something similar. Hell, most of the time the movie alone, with _no_ audio is ~4.5GB. They gotta make cuts somewhere. I think a lot of developers are holding off on investing a lot of energy into compressing the whole dvd to 4.7GB, cause they see dual-layer burners on the horizon.

As such, I use mplayer first to make sure I'm getting the right version of the film. So I guess you can use mplayer in the same way, and then use whatever fancy tool you like for encoding, assuming that it lets you choose the track yourself. -- djm -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
