[RELEASE] Luemmel's DVD-Ripper (Script) for Linux, Mac, and Windows

DD.exe can take hours and hours to rip a single DVD.

Normal? Is this just the pseudo "bad sectors" on the DVD messing with the DVD Drive and is there a way to speed up the rip process with DD.exe?

edit : Do you have scratcheds dvds ?

XP, NTFS, 4 gig of ram. I'll try a different dvd.

Does DD.exe remove CSS? When I mount an ISO that was ripped with DD.exe it appears to not have CSS.

Under linux and windows the css is not removed ....
As I testet the dd (blue) with windows on my notebook it had a little bit more
than 37 min. to rip a dvd ...
Could you try to adapt the bs=2048 argument in the default.py file ?
May also test to rip with a other dvd ?
Do you have any software installed like clonecd or something similar ?

How long it takes to rip a dvd for other users of the script ??
On my personal notebook (linux and windows) between 35-38 min.

Ok I made a new release :

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


Ok transcoding a allready riped dvd or a inserted dvd to the following formats is supportet:

- native mpeg2 from dvd
- vcd and svcd for PAL
- vcd and svcd for NTSC

In one of the next releaeses after 0.5A i would like to export to :

- divx
- mpeg4 / h264

Feedback would be fine ...
Best regards from switzerland ....

Did you install transcode including all tools ?
mjpegtools

On my Mhythbuntu 9.04 it works perfect to transcode ....

Is someone other who can not transcode .... ?

Maybe you forgot to install all the scripts to your home directory ?
Are the scripts executable ?

chmod +x dvd2svcdpal.sh as example

I tested the native command and svcd and vcd for pal.
The 2 scripts for ntsc settings are just adapted from the working ones.

edit :
You need a big place to transcode .... you may filled your hd with the transcoding ??

I guess yes ..... the transcode script filled your hd completly ...
the first process that would like to write to disk crashed ....
because there was no space left ....
This would be a explination.
Howmany installations with a linux system you alleady made ?

BTW : This is a just for knowing ... every person startet once with a new system ....

1.) Make a big partition with a very good filesystem like xfs
2.) mount this partition anywhere in your system ... /media/big-mama-partition
3.) edit /etc/fstab to your needs ...

Symlink the partition to /dvdrip

ln -s /media/big-mama-partition /dvdrip

do you have space left ?
df will give you the answer ...

Ally my script inside the home directory can be executed by hand ....
Open a console and type for example ...

./dvd2mpeg2.sh /dev/sr0 /dvdrip ausgabe 1 1

This would the inserted dvd transcode to mpeg2

- Device /dev/sr0
- The directory would be /dvdrip
- the file name (ausgabe) for the ouput without extension mpeg (this will be added ...)
- Title 1 of the dvd will be converted
- Audio Language 1 will be used ...

Look exactly that the transcode (Version 1.07 or higher is needed ) process
doesn't produce errors about something missing ....

If all went fine call the transcode export over the script...

Hans

Hello to all ;-=

I made a mistake in the audio select dialog......

replace this inside default.py

Audio_select = Audio_select + 1

with this

Audio_select = Audio_select + 0

In transcode the audio channels are starting with 0 and not with 1
mea culpa mea culpa

I allready fixed this error in red-pill 0.5B witch will be released soon ...

Regards
Linuxluemmel

edit :
As you know ... Beta release software allways have little errors ....

I have been informed that there is no subtitle select dialog ...
Yes ... I fore one transcode in the most cases with only 1 audio language
and without any subtitle.

Ok now it is about you : The users of the script ....

Should I add a dialog for selecting a subtitle or may a secound audio language

Please give me some feedback by pm
ot at email linuxluemmel.ch@gmail.com

With the best regards from switzerland where the weather is a nightmare for juli ....
