Re: [newbie] MP3 ripper
I have a few problem with MPlayer. One I have mdk 82 avifiles as below. libavifile0.7-0.7.7-0.20020528.1mdk libavifile0.7-devel-0.7.7-0.20020528.1mdk avifile-player-0.7.7-0.20020528.1mdk Still libavcodec is not taken while compiling. MPlayer doesn't use avifile at all. to enable libavcodec for MPlayer, you need to pull libavcodec from CVS and add it to MPlayer's source tree before compiling. ( read http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/codecs.html#libavcodec for details ) Sound is not captured when using v4l device. i don't use v4l.. sorry, can't help you there. however, from http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/video.html#tv-out Under Linux you have 2 methods to get G400 TV out working: IMPORTANT: Only Matrox G400DH/G400MAX has TV-out support under Linux, others (G450, G550) have not! I will be thankful if you can reply how to recompress to various formats? sample commans with options pl. there's a lot to it. way too much for a simple email. http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/encoding.html you will find good explainations and examples there.

RE: [newbie] MP3 ripper - OGG eats MP3
tell me about it. i have a portable cdplayer that will read mp3's burned to disc and play them. it is pretty nice, espec. for the price, but i would give anything for it to support OGG. _very_ nice. It's something about floating-point integer. OGG requires a player with it, which apparently costs money (hardware issue?), and mp3 doesn't. At least that's what I think I read once on the ogg-vorbis list once when I was researching it. I was interested in setting up a home audio network, but the only players I could find were mp3. Right, this used to be the case but now xiph.org has released their fixed point decoder: http://www.xiph.org/ogg/vorbis/index.html. It'll be interesting to see if this changes the situation at all. It'd be great if it did. I know I'd go out and buy a replacement for my RIO mp3-cd player... cheers, ::mark Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

It's complicated. I guess we will have to wait on the experts. After you get the dual output working it's just a question of using whichever app suits your needs.

Ok, this answers my question... at least I know it doesn't ;-) Don't worry, I will try it myself in about 30 minutes. Talking about CVS versions, I cannot compile the CVS versions of Lame from 2 days ago. Mine is also a month or 2 old, and although there probably haven't been that many changes, I descided to test it out for my mencoder-dvd-divx-manual. But I can't compile :-( It keeps bombing out here when it comes to compiling the frontend, which turns out to be the lame binary itself. If I choose --without-frontend, it compiles fine but only installs the libs and so on, but no actualy lame binary itself :-( I know mencoder would probably work with this, but that's not the point I think... at least if someone is going to have the lame installed, they should be able to use it too separately. John, would you mind just trying to ./configure and make a fresh downloaded version? No need to install it though, as my question is purely based of the fact that I want to know if it's the CVS version or my computer where the error lies. If it compiles and creates a lame executable, I know it's me ;-) Thanks Greetings Ralph -- Homepage: http://tuxpower.f2g.net/ Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Huh? 18 hours? I have a Pentium3, 800mh/z, and it takes me (under Linux) roughly 4-5hours to rip a 2 hour movie, and because I do it twice (for better quality) you can add another 3 to that, making a total of 8 hours max. This is of course under Linux, which is faster than my experiences with windows but even under Windows it never took 18 hours. It took me roughtly about 6-7 hours for a single rip on this same computer. So yes, it all depends on whay you exactly want to do with your DivX-Rip. There are several codecs, several ripping methods and so on. Mencoder rips on_the_fly (direct off DVD), whereas others first have to rip all the .vob files to the HD first. I use libavcodec as the DivX codec which fom my experiences is the best and fastest, producing great results :-) Ralph -- Homepage: http://tuxpower.f2g.net/ Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] MP3 ripper
grip is good for ripping (it uses cdparanoia) and compressing (I use lame). Not as good as EAC for windows IMHO, unfortunately. The feature I miss in grip is that it does not signal exactly where it eventually encounters an error during the rip process, so you can judge if it is fine or you need to do something about it (i.e., use a different CD reader). Not an issue if your CDs are all in good shape, though. Note that lame is not included in the MDK distribution for license issues. You need to download the sources from www.mp3dev.org or from sourceforge and compile them on your system, but it is really easy.

Sorry, I would test it myself, but I'm a bit pressed for time at the moment. If noone has, then I will have to test it some time soon when I have some time.

Has anyone had any luck with compiling and using mencoder (MPlayer) with this lame-encoder RPM? It's not a question of whether you think it will or It appears people have :). I have never tried mencoder - I don't have any dvd hardware on the computer - otherwise I would give it a try :). mplayer does play video cd's and avi's, which is primarily what I'm interested in right now. You probably should search the mailing list archive on MPlayer's web site (www.mplayerhq.hu) for relevant postings and questions. Ralph Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] MP3 ripper - OGG eats MP3
I spent time this weekend ripping my CDs to OGG format. Sound quality is extraordinary and files are smaller than MP3. Just need those tiny pocket players to support the format and MP3 would be dead.
