if you use dvd-r you should be fine with almost all isos.

[Rardgerard]

Well , in the future plans I see that my script could rip blue-ray ... to h264 ...
Native blue ray would need to mutch space .... 10 movies and your hd would be filled ..

I totally agree with that with size of a blu-ray you would need to compress to h264 or maybe mkv?

But rembember ,,,, my little project that I started at june 2009 ist still beta ....
it is ugly ... it may works ... and in the near future there is may a release far away from beta

First off I think that you are doing great since you just started this script in June. The rest is kinda of hard for me to understand. Are you trying to say that you are close to having a script out that is far better than the Beta version?

Many thanks .-)

Yes .... In the moment I call my build 0.5c but there are so many changes since
the last release I think about to rename it not longer Beta .... Release RC 1

* All settings are stored inside a configuration file
* Transcoding up to 2 audio languages and one subtitle
* Generating a iso ready to burn is working properly
* Allmost all shell scripts are allmost rewritten from the ground.
* All directory and file selection text-boxes has replaced by native
xbmc selection-boxes ....

Things to do in the next days ....

1.) Survive 1. august ... This date is national-day for switzerland ....
And I do normaly drink a lot of beer .... LOL and my wife has a so called
drinking problem ,--) ;LOL

2.) write and integrate a iso2disk.sh script
3.) test all settings and scripts again ....
4.) Replace string 0.5C with 0.5F beause allmost anything has changed ...
5.) Puplish 0.5F in englisch and german

The french and spanish release comes 2-3 days later .....
I may speek very good french and spanisch but I don't like to translate
them at my own .... (the same nightmare like my written english)
The translations are made by members of this forum.

Hello anyone ;-)

Ok in here is the release 0.5F for linux (english only)

http://luemmels-dvd-ripper.googlecode.co...x-0.5F.tar

readme for 0.5F

http://code.google.com/p/luemmels-dvd-ri...Redpill05F

The languages German / French / Spain coming soon also....

In my opinion this release is a great milestone .....

- Yes it can burn iso-files
- Yes , all settings are stored inside a configuration file
- It has 2 modes of operation (confirmed or with default values)
- I removed vcd / svcd and ogg-vorbis from the transcode menu
- for transcoding up to 2 audio languages and one subtitle can be selected

After starting the script the first time you have to adapt the settings..

Goto settings and change the settings to your needs

* 0 dvd-device
* 1 rip-directory
* 2 transcode directory
* 3 ssh user@localhost
* 4 default 1. audio language
* 5 default 2. audio language or none
* 6 default subtitle or none
* 7 Default Menu Entry for transcoding
* 8 default size single side dvd

you can change the settings over the script or with a editor

AND DO NOT FORGET TO COPY ALL SCRIPTS TO YOUR HOME-DIRECTORY
AND MAKE THEM EXECUTABLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On important thing about burning :

I only tested iso witch where generated over the transcode screen.
I did not test directly burn a ripped iso because inside switzerland
this dual layer dvd's are so expensive ....

And yes ... this iso-generating shell-script needs a lot space ...


Regards
Hans

BTW : I survived national-day yesterday ... :-)

[flobbes]

Why isnt it possible to leave the shell-scripts in the script/ssh folder?

Im not so happy about so many files in my home dir.

Grats for surviving and already up and going again

[patito]

damn... no windows version .... hopefully soon

[linuxluemmel]

damn... no windows version .... hopefully soon

If I reach version 0.5G on the red-pill I do work on the blue pill to the same
level if possible. (There are may functions that I do not code for Windows)

The main problem with the blue-pill is a os called windows ....

It is IMHO a limited OS.... because ....

- there is no transcode. It may works with vlc ?
- there is no encode2mpeg.sh
- no awk
- no lsdvd
- no dvdauthor
- ps -axu | grep $1 > tmp.001
- all this little tools -> a nice operating-system should have are not
inside windows (even dd ist no part of the os)

I don't wont to start a os-war inside this forum ... This is my point of view...

Best regards
Hans

Yes ... You're right ... I can leave the scripts inside the ssh directory and
call them with a longer path .

I the next release 0.5G the scripts remaining in the ssh directory.
Thanks for the feedback ....

Is there anyone out there who is using 0.5F ?
Does the burning part work for you ?
Has anyone burned a ripped-iso with the script ?
I did not test this because the price of dual-layer dvd inside switzerland
is very high. (7-8 Euro)

Regards Hans

[linuxluemmel]

Hello to all .-)

In the moment I do work for the release 0.5G for linux

Yes I promised to work for the blue pill after 0.5G ...

This are the main features witch I do (try to ...) integrate into the new release

* All scripts will be called from ssh-directory and not longer from the home-directory
* ripping to a remote network-xbmc or from a remote xbmc system should work
* The communicaton will be made with netcat
* Streaming to network over vlc
* I guess 2-3 weeks are the timeline for the new release.

What about 0.5F ?

I don't have any feedback ....

Besta regards from a land where the rain never stops ....
(It only rains at the weekends ... )

Hello ;-)

There is a bug in transcoding from device to other formats with default value ....
Fix it soon ...

I wonna make a interim release 0.5G with this error fixed
and all scripts are called inside the ssh directory ....

[linuxluemmel]

Hello to all.)

http://luemmels-dvd-ripper.googlecode.co...x-0.5G.tar

Ok this uggly bug was fixed in this release .....
Here are the changes from the changelog :

08/08/09 0.5G We

- german resource file added
- script iso2disk.sh was not executable
- Off by one failure with audio-language (default)
- Show Error if default audio language is not found
- Show Error if secound audio language is not found
- Show Error if subtitle language is not found
- String ID 33066 for error-box added
- Search argument for pid dvd2mpeg2.sh was wrong
- Sleep-time after starting dvd2h264.sh was to short
therefore the start-window was not displayed


Ok in this release I did not changed the scripts. If you allready installed 0.5F you don't
need to copy the scripts to the home-folder.

All you need to do is to replace the python-file (default.py) and all directorys without the config directory.
If you replace the config-directory you have to change the settings again.

In the next comming release 0.5H all scripts are called from inside the ssh directory.


Happy ripping and burning
Hans

My translators did not send back the translations for spain and french ....
here would be the strings.xml to translate ....
If I would try to translate them with my poor writen spain and french skill ... I guess the result would be funny ...
I speak the 2 above languages very good .. but not writing .... (LOL result would be a typo desaster ;-)

I'm having all sorts of troubles trying to get 0.5G working - as a proof of concept, of course. It would be illegal to use it where I am.

Could somebody write an 'idiot's how-to' for jaunty? I seem to have everything installed but it just doesn't work.

Many thanks in advance..

Pete

As a proof of concept I would insert the dvd called "Catch me if you can"
this is the best concept dvd I found on the internet..

Install all the scripts from the ssh-folder to your home directory
make them executable

chmod +x dvd2*; chmod +x iso2*

After you start the script you have to adapt your settings
ssh command / dvd-device / rip-directory / transcode-directory

and very importand :
Creat a ssh-key for your user and do a test login to see that ssh is
working proberly. If this is working you can make a test with a single
script. I would make the tests with dvdripp.sh

http://code.google.com/p/luemmels-dvd-ri...shCommands

BTW this is only a proof of concept and we help in this case ;_)

If you still have problems feel free to email me

OK.. so it turns out I just needed to install mencoder.

Seems to be working... I'll test it when I get home from work :o)

Thanks!
