 Posted: Fri Jul 25, 2025 2:38 am Post subject: DVD to Matroska (x264) |
 |
|
With the help of several online resources i have created a script for ripping DVDs to .mkv using the x264 video codec.
And it works very well, except that I keep loosing a/v sync no matter which dvds i use and which media players i use....
Can anyone spot ehat's going wrong? i THINK the problem is with step 5, the actual call to mkvmerge, but i'm not sure...

I've just been using VLC. Its transcode/save to file wizard is ridiculously easy and I've only run into a couple movies it couldn't rip (but then again, nothing else could either). It supports H 264 but not the .mkv container - just MPEG TS or MP4. The audio can be transcoded or not - it's up to you.
I can't help with your script.

ARccOS doesn't stop mplayer/mencoder, doesn't even slow 'em down.
I'm wondering what is causing the audio sync issues though....
I'll reencode a chapter and post the output that might help...

The duplicate frame messages are normal for a telecined film (also known as 3:2 pulldown). Basically for every 5 frames, you have 2 duplicates, and the rest are interlaced - so your decoding process is simply dropping the duplicate frames. It has never affected my sound before.
Here's a link to a site explaining progressive, interlaced, and telecine: http://www.animemusicvideos.org/guides/avtech/video2.htm
However, I wonder about all the "core dumped" messages in the top section and the "Audio: no sound" message in the bottom section. I've never been very good with getting manual encodings working correctly, so I usually use some other program such as DVD::Rip or VLC to do the mplayer magic for me (though I don't believe VLC uses mplayer).
As a side note, FLCL is a great series - strange to be sure, but great!

| I have no problems with most ARccOS protected DVD's...I did have an issue with one about a year ago...but I don't even remember what it was.

DedannaRocks! - try using VLC to play your ARccOS DVDs (it also rips/transcodes but perhaps not as fast or as well as mencoder). VLC doesn't require you to install any libdvdcss or other codecs to play (it includes what it needs).
If that works, then at least you have something that can play your movies, if not I'm not sure what will play them.

| It doesn't. Been there done that. Still, anything but Sony.

Sorry, just saw this. Per a p.m. I sent to someone at the Mandriva forum back when it was happening:
| Quote: | Hey,
I'm wondering if you can answer a question for me please?
This happens no matter what version of K3b I'm using. When I copy three dvds as .isos in K3b, they stick at 443 Mbs for a good while, then I get an I/O error, and my dvd writer loses UDMA.
The movies are Ratatouille, The Chronicles of Narnia, and Cars.
What happens at 443 Mbs with movies on dvd?
Needless to say, they can't be used to burn beyond that point.
Thanks. |
The response was:
They're right - I do hate 'em. LOL. I was trying to back them up at the time. I had tried every program I had (and I have a LOT of them installed) to no avail. I haven't tried recently with updates - will do so again when I have internet going again on Tuesday.

I could not get Chronicles of Narnia to work and Disney uses Sony's ARccOS on many of their movies. So I hate Sony for creating it and Disney for using it.
However, it's rather easy to get around (with a good working version of VLC). Do the following:
1. Put the movie in the drive and open VLC
2. Open the disc to play locally with menus
3. Navigate through the menus to play the movie and keep an eye on the lower-right corner where it has the time position / end time information
4. When you finally get to the feature (you'll see because the end time is > 1hr) look at what time the title starts at - usually it will not be 1, it'll be 00:00:03 or 00:00:07 or something non-00:00:01 and will start counting up from there.
5. Make a note of that time - you'll need it when ripping
6. While the movie is playing, go to the Playback menu and select the title - see what title is currently selected (very often it's not title 1, more like title 6 or title 13).
7. Make a note of the title player - you'll need it when ripping
8. Now you can stop the movie and select the File -> Stream / Save option
9. Check the box for "no menus"
10. Select the title you found in step 6
11. Check the "more options" to see additional fields
12. Adjust the start time to the time in seconds you found in step 4.
13. Click Convert / Save and enter the file name you wish to save it to as well well as your encoding options
At this point VLC will start ripping the movie past the ARccOS garbage just like the DVD player would and it will rip the correct title. Unfortunately the latest version of VLC (after 0.96 I think) is broken and cannot start ripping from a non-zero start position. I'm very mad about this because Ubuntu does not have the old version in the Intrepid repos and so I can't roll back either. All I can hope for is them to fix it soon so I can continue backing up my movies (including Ratatouille and Cars).
