[MPlayer-users] DVD Ripping trick ... & bugreport

[Arpi]

Hi,

> 
> 	mencoder -dvd 1 -oac copy -ovc copy -o dvdmovie.avi

mplayer -dvd 1 -dumpstream -dumpfile dvdmovie.vob

> 	Then you can do the 3 pass encoding using dvdmovie.avi as a source.
>

the vob way is more legal
and is already in the docs :)

> 	And now a bugreport: mpdvdkit doesn't work for me. I had to configure
> --disable-mpdvdkit (and use system's libdvdread lib, instead) to be able
> to watch a movie.

> 	Hey, I've just noticed that playing a dvd with 'mplayer -dvd 1' is MUCH

try option -cache
and rtfm more :)

> directly from DVD gives me a 100% cpu time used, while in the other
> case, just a 70-80%. Can anyone confirm this? (BTW, I have DMA enabled)
yes
even the docs :)

> mplayer output WITH mpdvdkit: (mplayer -dvd 1)

this is not an usefull bugreport at all
read docs about how to do that
