Re: [gentoo-user] Re: Transcoding movie DVD to MPEG4?
I am not an expert about this. I have used dvd:rip to copy a dvd DL file (8+GB) to HDD. After mounting the image as a loop device (see man mount) I was able to burn the image to a disk with dvd9to5. It worked in that particular instance.

I've never used K3B either.

[IIRC, it's an vanilla OEM > Samsung drive.] Thanks for all the suggestions! My Phillips DVD writer is internally mounted. After about half way instead of flipping over and burning the second layer it just fails with an input/output error. I've tried my Gentoo OS and a Knoppix CD just in case it was a matter of OS/application settings, but the same error occurred. I noticed that there are at least three DVD rip apps in portage: media-video/dvdrip media-video/acidrip media-plugins/vdr-vdrrip How do they compare? Two more Qs: Running mencoder seems to work in producing a smaller file, but it is a bit choppy (drops frames). Not sure what the correct options are, this is what I have used: = mencoder vts_01_1.vob -ovc xvid -xvidencopts pass=1 -alang en -oac mp3lame -lameopts vbr=3 -o movie.avi = If I set it to pass=2 it fails with an error about xvid: you must specify one or a valid combination of 'bitrate', 'pass', 'quantizer' settings. The think is I cannot read what it says fully because the character set in my terminal gets screwed up: = videocodec: XviD (720x576 fourcc=44495658 [XVID]) xvid: par=0/0 (vga11), displayed=1024x576, sampled=720x576 xvid: you must specify one or a valid combination of 'bitrate', 'pass', 'quantizer' settings ΣÏάλμα: ÎδÏναÏη η αÏÏικοÏοίηÏη ÏÎ¿Ï Î¿Î´Î·Î³Î¿Ï ÏÎ¿Ï Î²Î¯Î½Ïεο!
