Thanks NicoPPC! This is great stuff!!!

There was an older port some times ago, with a GUI, but I don't remember who ported this one, and if the GUI still works with the current mplayer... Anyone ?

Ah, here it is :

Cool!

Just when I was going to ask, if there was going to be newer mencoder port after recent mplayer update

Ok.. How do I tell it to use a different DVD drive? It seems stuck on ide.device:1 when it needs to be looking at ide.device:0.

Here are some Mencoder command lines from me for you to play with.


Determine the size of black areas and display included audio streams through the verbose mode option.
Investigate the console output afterwards.
mplayer VTS_01_1.VOB -v -vop cropdetect


generate DivX5 Movies with MP3 Sound in VBR mode:
mencoder VTS_01_1.VOB -aid 128 -mc 0 -oac mp3lame -lameopts vbr=2:q=6 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vqscale=5:vqmin=2:vmax_b_frames=4:v4mv:vhq:trell:mbd=2:vlelim=-4:vcelim=9:lumi_mask=0.05:dark_mask=0.01:aspect=16/8 -af volume=+10dB -srate 44100 -vop pp=fd,scale=528:416:0:2,crop=720:436:0:74 -o movie.avi

-mc 0 is needed when encoding with libmp3lame (not necessary with -oac lavc), otherwiese it'll lose a/v sync.

-vqscale sets the VBR quality


If you have several parts, instead of encoding directly from the DVDROM:
JOIN movie_01.avi movie_02.avi AS movie_noidx.avi
mencoder movie_noidx.avi -noidx -oac copy -ovc copy -o movie.avi


If you want to generate KVCD type MPEG files start experimenting with this command line.
But MPEG output format support is completely borken in mencoder v0.91. It will work only with v1.0 and above.

Hi,

I try to extract sound only from an DVD video with Mencoder, using Devedie. As I only want the audio file I select "Audio only" (frameno) under video and "Uncompress" (raw PCM) under audio which copies me a file (the file should be rawPCM but I dont know as I'm not able to play it) e. g. to RAM.

Does anybody now how I can convert this file to e. g. aiff or wave format?
