You'd better use a real demultiplex/remultiplex tool to strip useless langages. FFmpeg makes it.

BePage you can try bbtools for demuxing .....
but it I think it should be possible with the channel option in ffmpeg but I haven't found out jet...

Nice this new status bar when ripping :0))

Vlc plays the mpeg4 encoded files as a sharm :)
But mmu_man, ... could you give me a clue about how to change audio channels ? If that is possible to choose audio channel, language and related stuff while encoding with ffmpeg ?? I haven't found that jet, keep getting frence spoken films .... :)

Ive used ffmpeg to convert a vob to an avi, but beos wont play it back. Ive reinstalled the latest version of hybriddivx, to no avail.
Any ideas?
My command line was
ffmpeg -i /boot/home/Desktop/VTS_01_1.VOB -f avi -vcodec mpeg4 -b 300 -s 320x240 -an -y /boot/home/Desktop/friends2.avi


encoding ?

Androo what are you using to make the divx?
ffmpeg ? and what settings ? I been experimenting and came up with :
ffmpeg -i snatch.VOB -f avi -vcodec mpeg4 -sameq -ab 350 -r 25 -bf 2 -acodec mp2 -ab 128 snatch.avi
suggestions ??

DivX

DivX will never have the quality of DVD simply because it's a lossy codec. That's the entire point. With DivX I can take a 4.5GB vob and turn it into a perfectly good 1.5GB file. I know what I'm doing when I convert, so my rips look nearly as good as the DVD (you don't really notice the difference unless you look). I'll produce a 20 second clip of something and let you look at it ... stay tuned, I'll post the URL to it here.

Yes.. integrating ffmpeg to your program? That would rock! Also...integrating
mpegtools and mplex......VOB to VCD & SVCD? ......... :)

VOB to DIVX.

So, I am using your program to rip the .VOB files and ffmpeg (the latest version compiles out of the box under BeOS) to convert them to DivX. How about integrating ffmpeg to your program? That would rock!

I guess you have never tried the Indeo Real-Time Codec using Video Recorder at 320x240 or 640x480. Yes, I said 640x480. I have a dual PIII 667 with 256MB Ram and 60GB HD on 66MB IDE Bus. I can capture 640x480 with Indeo RealTime or "RAW" on a Bt868 Chip with no frame loss.

I've tried every codec I can get my hands on. Maybe you can capture at that res on a dual 667 with ATA66, but you certainly can't on a P3 450 with ATA33 drives.

Anyway, why go thru all the trouble if you just want to Pirate Movies?

For that matter, why bother going through all the trouble of capturing it with a tuner card?

Just spend $300 on a DVD+RAM and get it over with.

Why would I do that if DivX is good enough for me?

I wasn't aware there was support for that under BeOS.

As I don't have a standalone DVD player, I've never bothered with VCD. And considering my computer has a display much superior to my rarely-used TV, I've never found "must be played on a PC" to be that limiting.

Exactly how many hours does it take on you PII 450 for a 2 hour movie? My nine hour quote was for a 900 Mhz Celeron, which I found at a "Back Up Your DVD" site.
---------------------------------------
</quote>

The last time I encoded a film in DivX on my home machine, it took about 12 hours. It takes about 8 on my work computer (duron 950), that's 2-pass VBR using nandub SBC.

---------------------------------------
Hey stephenb, If your DIVX Rips are so good why don't you send me a 20 second clip so I may judge for myself. Impress me, Please! a small sample can be sent to beosfreak@mediaos.com.
---------------------------------------
</quote>

I'll mail you a clip from my rip of American History X. It's divx 3.11, encoded with nandub, using (I believe) the fast-motion codec.

<quote>
---------------------------------------
Seriously though, at what resolution are your RIPS?
VCD, SVCD, FULL SCREEN (Standard), Wide Screen, or ???
---------------------------------------
</quote>

I generally keep them as close to the original DVD's resolution as possible, minus a little croping/resizing to get rid of the black bars.

I agree with atryu. DivX is my choice, because I can fit a whole movie on one CD.
A quality DivX (DVD-Rip) takes a lot of CPU time and (usually) renders a WindowsComp useless for the duration. However, I want to see a DVDrip-to-(insert codec here) solution for BeOS. It will make this platform even more attractive to switch to, AND you'll be able to use it while encoding.

This version 0.1 was compiled w/ Bone on an Athlon XP. It may not work for everyone right away, but you can get the source and try it yourself.

Keep up the good work!

DivX creation is a skill.

I agree with atryu. In order to make a quality DivX (that works on most platforms) you have to know what you're doing. Maybe M$ put it into everyone's head that doing a job on a computer should be a one-click affair.

jonhart,

I only tested it with a couple a DVDs but I'd be glad to make it work with all of them. Please report problems by email, sending me the file list (with sizes) which appears in the Tracker and the list of the created files.

Please don't critize something you don't know. Most of the divx you will find on the net are bad quality, just because the guy who did it don't know how to compress a film.
I can assure you that even on one CD a film looks great in divx. Ok it is not DVD quality (execpt on two CD where you can't see the difference) but it is really good, far away from VHS quality I can tell you.
But it takes time to masterize this technique. You can't do go divx in two minutes, you need to know very well all the options of the codec and of your software, and then you can do good divx.
DivX is not the best of course, but it rocks when you know how to use it. I think it is the same for what you are suggesting, I mean that if I try what you say I'm sure I will have weird result the first time.
So please expose your solution, but don't say that the other solutions are not good, you don't know. I don't know how is your solution, so I'm not telling that it is bullshit even if I think it is.
This part of the website is here just to give information, not speculation.
So here is my question : what software and codec can I use under BeOS to encode a rip-dvd by this app into a divx file?
thank you for answering

Also, I've never tried to Rip a DVD myself, I've seen many samples but the quality and time are just not worth it, expecally when the DVD is so cheap. Seriously though, at what resolution are your RIPS?
VCD, SVCD, FULL SCREEN (Standard), Wide Screen, or ???

FYI, You can as I said before capture with HybridDivx, You just dont get the Audo compressed, which by the way is the largest part of the file size. Last but not least, 100 GB HD's are Cheap!

Wrong File Size

Ive just ripped 4 tracks off of a friends dvd.
The first 3 were too big, 1gb, instead of 800mb, and the final track was too small.

In the files this manifests as the first track having a whole episode and the start of the next one, the next track starts part way through the episode etc.

I tried ripping multiple files, and individually, and they all had the same problem.

If you have seen any of the so called "DIVX Ripped DVDs" then you should know it sucks. The sound is really crappy in most cases, (Like talking thrugh a Tin Can),
------------------------------------------

Sure, if it was ripped and encoded by someone who didn't know what they're doing. Personally, all the rips I do are 2-cd ones (VBR mp3 audio) and in most cases can't be distinguished from the original DVD.

------------------------------------------
and the Video will dam near destroy your eyes because of the drastic changes in lightening.
------------------------------------------

Eh? Maybe you should try something other than FlaskMpeg and you might get decent results.

------------------------------------------
If you really want a good DVD copy, Just put the DVD Player output to the Input on a BT8x8 card. Capture the Video in whatever decoder you wish avaiable in BeOS. The sound will be 44.1Khz Stereo (CD Quality). The Video will look AWSOME,
------------------------------------------

And it will take up about 2GB. Good luck capturing 640x480 without dropped frames - unless you use raw video as the format, then it will probably take up about 40GB.

------------------------------------------
and it will only take you the length of the movie to be done, not the NINE HOURS requires in WinBlows or Linux. BTW - if you have a Fast PC (1Ghz processor or Dual 600's) you'll be able to actually use the PC while recording.
------------------------------------------

Compression is more CPU intensive than merely capturing. Surprise surprise. Any decent encoding solution will let you set the priority of the encoding thread. My P3 450 is certainly usable while with nandub encoding DivX at normal priority.

Why would need an encoder to encode it to DIVX?

BeOS Rocks.
Nothing more to say...except:
HybridDivx will allow you to capture in a DIVX format, however the sound will not be compressed.

Do we have a encoder for encoding it to divx aswell?
