[MEncoder-users] Re: Encoding from an hard disk backup of a dvd

[Corey Hickey]

1. When you want to copy your DVD to hard disk, use
$ mplayer -dumpstream dvd://1
which will decrypt the title into a single file: stream.dump

2. If you already have the files in a directory and you don't want to
start all over, you can use -dvd-device, i.e.:
$ mencoder dvd://1 -dvd-device .
