I am trying to transcode a movie to put it onto my iPod. As an initial test, I did:
transcode -x dvd -y xvid4 -N 1 -T 1 -Z 320x180 -i /dev/dvd -o movie.avi -c :0:41- The -c :0:41- part was to skip past the first 41 seconds (which are just the logos of the copmanies that produced the movie). However, this did not work out as well as I'd hoped -- it gets to the end and then freezes. Some stracing reveals that one of the tcdemuxes is sitting on a futex syscall, while the others are halted in write() -- presumably, the pipe buffers are full. What would be the proper way to chop off the beginning of a stream without knowing the exact end time? -- -- Stevie-O Real programmers use COPY CON PROGRAM.EXE
