 Posted: Sat Jun 20, 2015 9:05 am Post subject: ripping dvds for my NAS |
 |
|
Hi people, I'm using the ffmpeg flag in my make.conf and am not able to rip my dvds to convert them to put on my NAS.
I tried to install dvdrip but it needs the libav flag enabled and I cannot have both ffmpeg and libav flag enaled at the same time.
Does anyone know of another program that is ffmpeg based that I could use instead.
Respectfully
Brett Stevens |

BWStevens,
I use mplayer to rip the mpeg2 files to my NAS but don't convert them as there is a quality drop.
mpeg2 is already lossy.
You can probably use yor NAS to do conversion on demand if you really need other formats.
If HDD space is your issue, this won't help. I think mplayer can do format conversion too but I don't use it that way.
mpeg2 on DVD is already not good enough for HDTV, so I don't want to throw anything away.

Why? Have you tried it and emerge complained?

Title ffmpeg/libav conflict management: USE=libav
Author Micha�� G��rny
Posted 2015-02-01
Revision 2
The support for automatic choice between ffmpeg and libav is going to be
deprecated in favor of explicit choice via USE flags. This change aims
to solve multiple repeating issues, including Portage undesirably
wanting to replace one package with the other, lack of proper reverse
dependency on ffmpeg/libav upgrades and some of the hard-to-understand
upgrade failures involving blockers. It also may be used to make ffmpeg
and libav co-installable in the future.
The current USE=ffmpeg will maintain its role of enabling optional
support for ffmpeg or a compatible implementation (libav) in a package.
However, whenever appropriate additional USE=libav will be introduced to
control the preference of one implementation over the other.
Users who currently use libav need to enable USE=libav in
/etc/portage/make.conf. It should be noted that users still need to
enable USE=ffmpeg on packages with optional libav support as well.
Users who currently use ffmpeg need to take no action.
Please also note that some packages support only one of the two
implementations. An attempt to install one of those packages may result
in blockers requiring the user changes the global USE=libav state.
Please do not alter the state of 'libav' flag on a per-package basis
(e.g. via package.use). The flag needs to be set globally to have
consistent value throughout all packages. Otherwise, blockers will
prevent upgrades.

There are 2 mplayers, and mencoder based on mplayer legacy. AFAIK mplayer 2 doesn't support transcoding which made me stick to legacy branch. I haven't been following their news, so perhaps they added this again when I wasn't paying attention. |

thankyou everyone for your help. I got dvdrip installed but in the settings it says it needs mplayer.
When I try to install that I can't as it needs the libav flag.

BWStevens,
dvdrip uses mplayer for previews. It rips DVDs and uses transcode to cosvert them to other formats.
If you don't want previews, mplayer is not required.
