mencoder

Ok I just discovered the power of mencoder (90fps! (3 times faster than flaskmepeg) and sucessfully managed to convert single vob files to mpeg4 avi with a constant bitrate of 2mbit, copied the audio (don't want to compress) and cropped the black borders off using the -cropdetect function. All by creating my own batch file.

Any tips on 2 pass encoding or 3 pass? Also: selecting multiple vobs (ie. films that are split into a number of 1GB files) to be converted into one avi?

Vdub

Haha, I'd really like to learn how to use mplayer, I don't think vdub could be any faster

Code:

start /wait /belownormal mencoder dvd://%2 -vf scale=720:576 -o Title%2.avi -af volnorm -oac mp3lame -lameopts mode=2:cbr:br=192 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:threads=2:vbitrate=1200:vpass=1:turbo -ffourcc DIVX -dvd-device %1
start /wait /belownormal mencoder dvd://%2 -vf scale=720:576 -o Title%2.avi -af volnorm -oac mp3lame -lameopts mode=2:abr:br=192 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:threads=2:vbitrate=1200:vpass=2 -ffourcc DIVX -dvd-device %1

called dvd2avi.bat - will encode one title from a dvd in two passes, whether it is a multi-part .vob or not

usage:

Code:

dvd2avi {path to VIDEO_TS} {title to encode}

e.g.:

Code:

dvd2avi M:\VIDEO_TS 3

would encode dvd drive M: title 3 to an avi with name of Title3.avi

PS Welcome to the powa' of mencoder
