Rip a DVD to AVI with mencoder

[Cazz]

Hi
I know how to rip a DVD with subtitle to Xvid but if I want to convert my DVD to AVI with no xvid or any other codec that compress my movie.

I know it going to be a BIG file but I going later to create a streaming WMV file so it not going to be a big file when I'm finnish

Why I do it is because I need to create a WMV file that I can use on my streaming server that even have the subtitle.

So how do I need to write so I can convert a DVD with subtitle to AVi with mencoder

Do you have to use mencoder? I haven't seen any method to convert dvd to avi with burned in subs using it. I think it only work with text/srt subtitles sources. Google for mencoder subtitles.

If you want a wmv with burned in subs I would probably use automkv instead, dvd to wmv directly.

look very good program but when I pick WMV from Container the program freeze
I have try both 0.98.3 and 0.98.4.

DOesn't it also require that windows media encoder is installed?

[Cazz]

DOesn't it also require that windows media encoder is installed?

I have that install because I use that to convert file to WMV

trying to read now at the hompage what I have to do

/Update

After I have read and even download the file from this guide (https://forum.videohelp.com/topic319304.html)
Did download and install Avisynth and AC3 Filter. Have even install "Combined Community Codec Pack" after I have read the information on AutoMKV homepage but still same problem.

It only freeze if I pick WMV from container or codec, not the other like Xvid, MP4...

moviefile.log

[buzzqw]

with wmv encoding you MUST encrust subtitle on video

subs will be not switchable

check in advanced settings "Burn subtitle"

BHH

[Cazz]

ohh ok, going to look at that tomorrow, thanks

[Cazz]

ohh ok, going to look at that tomorrow, thanks

Hi Again

Now I have check the "Burn subtitle" but it still no subtitle?


movie.log

[buzzqw]

... on your script i see
VobSub("E:\temp\movie.idx")

so the subs were "merged" in video

even if the subtitle size are very small ...
Subtitle Size: 24576 bytes

are you sure you have selected the right subs ?

BHH

[Cazz]

well yes I have select the right subtitle, is only one swedish subtitle on the DVD

in movie.idx I have found

#	 Note: You can't position a sub before the previous with a negative value.

# You can also modify timestamps or delete a few subs you don't like.
# Just make sure they stay in increasing order.

there are very few subtitle string


plase ... try opening the movie.avs in virtualdub... you should see the subs too

BHH

[Cazz]

Strange, I have not see that before. I have a subtitle some minute at the begin of the movie.
So after some minute it disappear

/Update

Is that any way I can rip my DVD from the subtitle and then put in the temp directory and then continue to create my wmv file?

[buzzqw]

well .. you can rip the subtitles with vsrip

set up automkv as you want (AND select the subtitles) ... than start it

after launching encoding, just after subtitle ripping, BUT before wmv encoding, put your subs in temp folder

then let automkv do its job
