encoding with transcode in commandline

[snowbear]

Hi

i have a *.vob file and i whant encode this in divx%.05 with the divx4linux codec :) but i can't do this with mencoder, because a can't compile it right with the divx4linux codec it displays an error that ve_divx4.o is not there hoe ? i whant divx5 and not 4 -.-

ok than i whant to use transcode there is no compile error :)

so now my questions:

1. i whant to demux the vob file in audio, sub and video! i don't whant to encode the vob file i whant to encode part of it !!!!

2. i whant to encode the video file in transcode using the divx5.05 codec with a frame rate of 25 and a bit rate of 1000 or some thing ah and i whant to have a screen ratio of 640 x 480


PS: is it possible to find out how long a movie is ?

Are you sure your divx codec is installed properly?

Do a ./configure and check if "divx5linux" is enabled.

The file 've_divx4.o' will be created during compilation, so I really think your setup is broken somehow :(

yes its installed correct :) transcode kan use it but mplayer can't compile it -.-

Do a ./configure and check if "divx5linux" is enabled.

with the newest cvs source it works ! but not with stable :(

You can use dvd::rip (http://www.exit1.org/dvdrip/). Just start a blank project, read the DVD toc and select the longest title (which is usually the movie itself). You'll see the film durantion in hh:mm:ss and frames. Take a look:

If you want to do it with mplayer simply do...
mplayer -identify FILE

The last line "ID_LENGTH=xxx" will give you the length in seconds.
