 I had to comment out the line that starts

 #die mplayer doesn't support lavc encoder\n unless

That's peculiar. But it still transcoded video properly?

Could you send me the output of `mencoder -ovc help' and `mencoder -oac help'?

Thanks in advance,

Andrew

Re: DVD to tablet

2007-12-10 Thread sebastian maemo
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?

Salut,
Sebas.

 Handbrake works well for me (not tried DVD43 - I used dvd decryptor).

 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.

For Linux users, may I (not so) humbly suggest my own tablet-encode:

htttp://mediautils.garage.maemo.org/tablet-encode.html

You can choose the trade-off between disk size  quality through a
series of presets. The smallest one takes up around 1MB a minute.

HTH,

Andrew
