Good idea. The manpage says it can read DVD structures, VOB files etc.

What's the connection? Are you saying there's a DVD player which would convert
to AVI for him, or just telling him a solution which would be handy if he was
trying to do something else?
Or is this an in joke referring to that British web comedy show where the guy
is
always giving directions to somewhere else? I have a friend sending me kinks,
but I miss half the stuff because much of it uses Cockney slang.

A: No, but if you want to take the tube, I can tell you how to get to the
palace.
Q: No, I want to walk to the Tower of London, how do I do that?
A: Right foot, left foot, same as walking to the palace.

I can tell you how to get to the palace.

All the work is being done by mencode. Do a "pgrep -fl mencode" while ogmrip is running to see the large number of options it applies. Many of these can be tuned (e.g. number of passes in video conversion) and would make a difference in speed. In fact you could just capture the mencode command line as a Shell script and play with it that way. I converted a 4GB VOB set to 1.2GB avi. It did take a while but not as much as 3.5 hours on my Core 2 Dual @ 3.2 (and I still used 2 passes). > I was reading about handbrake and apparently if I can change the codec > from ffmpeg to another codec (not sure what one yet) it will handle > avi files as output. ffmpeg can certainly produce avi, so maybe you don't need to change it. I did try handbrake a while back but it didn't really do what I wanted at the time (converting flv to avi). poc -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

Very weird. OGMRip does work great but it takes forever. I have a Phenom 2 965 @ 3.6 and so far from an iso image to avi has taken 3.5 hours and is still not completed. I was reading about handbrake and apparently if I can change the codec from ffmpeg to another codec (not sure what one yet) it will handle avi files as output. The reason I use it so often is it is fast and I output to H.264 mkv so it's perfect for me. Converting for standalone players is another matter altogether. I have got the knack for avidemux and it works fast as well. I would like to see a one shoe fits all type of program like DVD FAB for a linux based machine. DVD decrypter works for linux but it is limited and is there just to break copy protection and gives you a dvd folder or iso image. See if you have the same problem with DVD::Rip? I will post if I find out how to get Handbrake to work with avi output as I think it's just about the fastest for conversion.

Under file select convert/stream Point to your DVD TS folder and convert to a avi file Takes forever but will do it. For me I find the best way is to load the other os (Win 7 or XP) into virtual box and install DVDFAB Platinum and go for it.

The issue is mainly in knowing which files to convert as many of them are not part of the movie. This information is encoded in the DVD structure but it's a pain to decode manually. poc -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

Converting DVD copy to AVI
I have a DVD structure (VIDEO_TS etc. etc.) on my hard disk and would like to convert the main feature to an AVI file, i.e. basically what rippers do but without the physical DVD. I know I can use ffmpeg or transcode to convert individual VOB files, but this seems error prone (e.g. how do I know I got all of the main feature?). Does anyone have a script for this sort of thing? Unfortunately K3B is no good as it insists on there being a physical DVD to rip from. poc -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
