[MEncoder-users] Best possible quality from a DVD

[Federico 'Pain' Pistono]

Is it possible to copy raw the dvd into an uncompressed mpeg2 using 
mencoder?

I tried
mencoder dvd://1 -chapter 3-3 -of mpeg -oac copy -ovc copy -o tvout.mpg
That i get a lot of seeking errors, a good video quality but the audio 
disappears after a few minutes.


With the "raw" it encodes but the file size is 2Kbytes....

Then I tried this:
mencoder dvd://1 -chapter 3-3 -of mpeg -oac copy -ovc lavc -lavcopts 
vcodec=huffyuv:vbitrate=8000:keyint=25 -vf hqdn3d,pullup,pp=md,scale=720:480 
-noskip -o tvout.mpg
but my mplayer cannot open the video codec.

I use this version:
€ mplayer -v 
MPlayer 1.0pre7-3.3.5 (C) 2000-2005 MPlayer Team
CPU: PowerPC

the cvs gives me compiling problems.


If try to do this crazy thing:
mencoder dvd://1 -chapter 3-3 -of mpeg -oac copy -ovc copy -o out.mpeg

does work perfectly, but i guess it's encrypted, so useless at the end. 
Mplayer opens the file, but it doesn't seek it.


So, what can I do?

I need to do video editing with final cut, do you suggest me to use 
something like this:
mencoder dvd://1 -chapter 3-3 -ovc lavc -oac copy -lavcopts 
vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=7500:vqmin=1:lmin=1:v4mv:mbd=2:trell:subcmp=2:cmp=2:precmp=2:mv0:autoaspect:vpass=1:mpeg_quant:psnr:vqcomp=
0.7:vqblur=0.3 -o out.avi

in a two pass encoding, and use a high quality mpeg4, or find a way to use 
an uncompressed mpeg2?
