DVD to avi with multiple audio tracks and subtitles
- Copy Dvd to harddrive if possible
vobcopy -m -i /media/cdrom0/ -o .
- Get chapter information
dvdxchap -t 1 /dev/sr0 > chapters.txt
- Get subtitles
mencoder dvd:1dev/sr0 -nosound -ovc frameno -o /dev/null -slang en -vobsubout sub.en
- Convert subtitles to srt: Use avidemux, works fine.
- Get the crop values:
mplayer dvd:1dev/sr0 -vf cropdetect -sb 50000000
- Write the values down. Ex: -vf crop=704:560:12:6
- Do a small mencoder test to get the correct aspect ratio after cropping:
mencoder dvd:1dev/sr0 -vf crop=704:560:12:6 -oac copy -ovc raw -endpos 120 -o movie-cropped.mpg mplayer -v movie-cropped.mpg | grep -i aspect
- Example: 1.79:1
- Encoding first pass:
mencoder -nosub dvd:1dev/sr0 -vf pullup,softskip,crop=704:560:12:6,harddup -nosound -ovc x264 -x264encopts bitrate=1000:subq=5:bframes=3:b_pyramid=normal:turbo=1:pass=1 -of rawvideo -o movie.264
- Enconding second pass:
mencoder -nosub dvd:1dev/sr0 -vf pullup,softskip,crop=704:560:12:6,harddup -nosound -ovc x264 -x264encopts bitrate=1000:subq=5:8x8dct:frameref=2:bframes=3:bpyramid=normal:weightb:pass=2 -of rawvideo -o movie.264
- Get audio
mkfifo audiodump.pcm mplayer -vo null dvd:1dev/sr0 -aid 129 -ao pcm:fast:nowaveheader:file=audiodump.pcm -channels 6 & faac -b 256 -q 100 -P -R 48000 -C 6 -X audiodump.pcm -o audio129.aac rm audiodump.pcm
- Use mmg to merge audio129.aac, movie.264, sub.en.idx, sub.en.srt, chapters.txt
- An example mkvmerge:
