 |
|
Hi,
i used to be able to rip+transcode dvd using dvd::rip, however since i reinstalled gentoo on my box dvdrip has been transcoding to /dev/null. the ripping works fine, i get all the vobs. when i launch the transcoding....nothing.
its weird cause the preview option works fine, but nothing gets written to the disk.
here's the command line from the "show transcode commands":
| Code: |
Transcode Command:
==================
mkdir -m 0775 -p '/home/movies/db/lordoftherings/tmp' && cd /home/movies/db/lordoftherings/tmp && dr_exec transcode -H 10 -a 0 -x vob,null -i /home/movies/db/lordoftherings/vob/001 -w 942 -b 128,0,0 -s 1.001 --a52_drc_off -V -f 24,1 -g 720x480 -M 2 -Y 50,0,54,0 -B 15,10,8 -R 1 -y xvid,null -o /dev/null --print_status 20 && echo DVDRIP_SUCCESS
mkdir -m 0775 -p '/home/movies/db/lordoftherings/tmp' && cd /home/movies/db/lordoftherings/tmp && dr_exec transcode -H 10 -a 0 -x vob -i /home/movies/db/lordoftherings/vob/001 -w 942 -b 128,0,0 -s 1.001 --a52_drc_off -V -f 24,1 -g 720x480 -M 2 -Y 50,0,54,0 -B 15,10,8 -R 2 -y xvid -o /home/movies/db/lordoftherings/avi/001/lordoftherings-001.avi --print_status 20 && echo DVDRIP_SUCCESS

notice the -o /dev/null. but i see 2 commands there, i noticed from the logs that only the first one is used. i tried running the exact command line and substituing the /dev/null for a file and that worked but with no sound! if i run the second command line, seems to work but the pictures are horrible with pixels the size of .25 inch tiles.
can someone help me out? |

Is it the first time you enabled "multi-pass"? (The "-R" option shows me that it is enabled)
In multi-pass mode the first run only generates a divx4.log. The output is not needed and therefore re-directed to /dev/null.
In the 2nd run this divx4.log is used for the real divx-output.
The "null" in "-y xvid,null" says that there will be no sound in the output file.
The output of the second command is probably this horrible, because it expects a divx4.log ("-R 2").
For more information: see "man transcode"
Solution for your problem: just let dvd::rip finish its job  |
