Multiple Vobs in Mencoder

[Guilllo]

Hi all !!

I've got multiple vobs from a dvd in a folder and would like to encode them as a signle file with mencoder.

I've tried cat *.vob | mencoder <options> but it says "No file given"

So i think i should use the dvd:// syntax but don't know how to do


Thanks

AFAIK you have to tell mencoder to read from std in by adding a "-" in place of the file name.
mencoder [options] -
See here (http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/man/en/mplayer.1.html#SYNOPSIS).

with mpeg files never do cat *.vob|mencoder -
instead you simply have to do

mencoder -o file.mpg -of mpeg -mpegopts format=dvd ... fie1.vob file2.vob ... filen.vob
