Howto author AVI->DVD with menus using Linux only !

[FreakWent]

A long time ago...

I can't seem to get this to work.

--SNIP--

For the SVN version of MPlayer that you are using you would use:

Code: Select all

mplayer -vo dummy -ao dummy -identify Freaky_Eaters_E3_Cheese. avi

to achieve the same result.

Cheers

Well now that's cool, but I'd rather not mess with the any2vob (0.34) script, because I'm lame.

gentoo x86 has installed mplayer dev-SVN-rUNKNOWN-4.1.1 (mplayer-1.0.20070321)

What's the right way to get a version of mplayer which will not play audio (indeed anything) on a -vo=dummy? Currently it takes 5 hours for a 30 minute clip, as every time any2vob wants to check something (eg lines 488 to 490, as one example) it plays the audio of the track all the way through. Killing the mplayer process makes it start again...

I will also file a bug report against any2vob (it's the only form of service/support offered by sourceforge for the project) suggesting that they at least check for midentify to use instead.

I am having a problem with stereo2surround.sh, referenced here http://mightylegends.zapto.org/dvd/dvda ... round.html and on page one of this thread.

Firstly I have found one bug when using sox > 13.0.0. soxmix has been removed and the appropriate incantation now seems to be sox -m. stereo2surround.sh will fail unless you change soxmix to sox -m.

Secondly, ffmpeg seems to fail on my system. The output is as follows:

Code: Select all

My version of ffmpeg is 0.4.9_p20070330-r1

If anyone can help I'd be grateful. (I am not making a dvd otherwise I would use the fine any2vob/any2dvd scripts)

Thanks.

Oops yes you're right, should be fixed now, thanks.

As for your FFmpeg error, try specifying '-ab 384k' for later versions of FFmpeg, or '-ab 384' for an early version.

[nickrout]

Thats OK, glad to help

Yes the -ab 384k works now, I had that sorted a while ago and should have posted back the solution.

Cheers.

I'm trying to convert a stereo ac3 to 6 channel, I'm getting this error with ffmpeg when I try to convert the stereo ac3 track to a stereo wav:

Any ideas? The file plays fine in mplayer and I'm sure I've got all required use flags:

Code: Select all

 $ emerge -pv ffmpeg

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

I have a vob file with multiple audio tracks and multiple subtitle tracks. I'd like to burn it to DVD Video for playback on the TV. However, I have some questions that I haven't really found answers for.

I'd like to create a menu on the DVD that includes a setup menu for selecting audio track, subtitles on/off, and subtitle track. This is common on commercial DVDs.

I started with mandvd. However, the program doesn't seem to support submenus. I've also played around with qdvdauthor and dvdstyler. All of these programs seem to want me to extract the subtitles, convert them to text, and add them back to the video. I haven't figured out how to handle multiple audio tracks yet.

I did make a mkv file with chapters and subtitles using this guide: HOWTO_DVD_to_Matroska. So I do have a vobsubs.sub/.idx file, a text file containing all of the chapter information, and a separate audio file. However, none of the above programs support the vobsub format, nor do they support importing chapter information. I also haven't figured out how to create, if it's supported, the setup menu in these applications.

Is there an easy way to do what I'm looking to do? Ripping apart the vob file, converting the subtitles to text, reencoding the video, and remuxing it all back into what is essentially the same as the starting vob file seems like a lot of work just to add a menu. Nor have I figured out how to support more than one subtitle/audio track.

Thank you for any advice or help you can offer.

I'm using the latest version of all software, including any2dvd (0.34). I've used the software in the past, and had no problems with it. I just starting using Gentoo again, and decided to try it out, as I needed to convert some videos to dvd.

When converting the videos, the program seems to end prematurely, complaining that the m2v file was not created. Looking at the transcode logs, there seems to be an issue with the --progress_meter 0 argument. The latest transcode (1.0.5) does not appear to have the --progress_meter 0 argument, or my version doesn't anyway. It does, however, have the --progress_off argument. After changing the argument in the code, it still complains that the file is not completed. I've checked the tmp.log in the working directory, and there doesn't appear to be any errors coming from transcode. It seems to sit and wait for the 15 seconds, then errors out whether the program is finished running or not, as far as I can tell anyway. Has anyone else noticed this? Or am I just not doing something?

I'm trying to convert an OGM video, with this command: 'any2dvd --format=ntsc --aspect=4:3 --pulldown=yes -i /path/to/file.ogm'. I would assume that this is the correct command to use, and nothing special needs to be added.

One suggestion for the program. I've noticed that it defaults to encoding the audio at a very high bitrate (384kbps). I did not notice any option or variable to change this. I think this would be something nice to have, as you may not always want such a high bitrate for your audio, especially if your source audio is <192kbps.

[edit]Also, I can't seem to add multiple files by using wildcards, as is shown in the man pages. I'm using 'any2dvd --format=ntsc --aspect=4:3 --pulldown=yes -i /path/to/files/*', which appears the same as shown in the man page for any2dvd. It shows the following errors:

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/any2dvd: eval: line 326: unexpected EOF while looking for matching ``'
/usr/bin/any2dvd: eval: line 327: syntax error: unexpected end of file

Personally, I use:

media-video/devede

which makes the whole process completely simple.

It's an all-gui affair, with minimal knowledge / experience needed.

When running the very first step I get an error:

Same problem here. Anyone knows in which package "mpa codec" can be found?

Happening to me, too with ffmpeg-0.5_p20373 and transcode-1.1.5-r1. I can't seem to find a way to fix this. Anyone?

FIXED with this patch: http://www.mail-archive.com/transcode-u ... 02234.html

Hi all,

This thread was helpful in getting me started. However, I had a question that maybe somebody can help out with.

I have a foreign language DVD, though one without subtitles. I picked up a subtitle file (.ass) and would like to essentially copy the DVD material to my HDD, add the subtitles, and then burn it to another DVD. In other words, re-master the DVDs and add subtitles. Is this possible?

Best,

Alex
