mencoder/mplayer audio parallel extract possible?

[Selur]

When extracting audio from DVDs I like to use something like:

MPlayer:
mplayer -v -mc 0 -vc dummy -noconsolecontrols -nocorrect-pts -aid 128 dvd://1 -dvd-device "H:\TestClips&Co\DVDs\TestDVD" -dumpaudio -dumpfile "H:\Temp\audio_128.ac3"Mencoder:
mencoder -v -mc 0 -vc dummy -aid 128 dvd://1 -dvd-device "H:\TestClips&Co\DVDs\TestDVD" -of rawaudio -oac copy -ovc copy -o "H:\Temp\audio_128.ac3"Works fine but if I want to extract multiple audio streams (aid: 128, 129, 130) I have to run this multiple times and I was wondering if it is possible to do this similar to "ffmpeg extracting multiple audio streams at once (http://forum.videohelp.com/threads/356643-ffmpeg-audio-parallel-extract-possible)" in one go.

Does anyone know if this is possible and if it is how?

I don't think this is possible, at least I've never seen an example of that and I've never heard someone doing this

I could be wrong, though ;)

@froggy1: that's exactly the state I'm in. I've never seen an example that anyone has done it before, but I'm not sure that it's not possible ;)

FWIW, the documentation for mplayer says you can only use one "dump" at a time. You can't even dump audio and video from a source at the same time. I don't know about mencoder.

[Selur]

it's probably the same :(

I suppose I should point out I tried dumping audio and video at the same time and it didn't work. Dumping one at a time did. So, it's not a case where the documentation is wrong or outdated.

Nope, it's probably 'just' a missing 'feature'. :D
