mencoder/mplayer audio parallel extract possible?

Selur · 26th August 2013, 13:03

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

MPlayer:

Code:

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:

Code:

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" 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.

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 So, it's not a case where the documentation is wrong or outdated.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'.
