Hi List,

I have a DVD I want to rip and play on my tablet. Normally I rip a
DVD to AVI with mplayer/mencoder but that seems to be a problem
with this specific DVD, prob due to disc encryption (libdvdread was
giving errors all over the place) so had to go with MakeMKV and
dump it to a 4.1GB .mkv file. The MKV contains the following
streams:

[lavf] stream 0: video (mpeg2video), -vid 0
[lavf] stream 1: audio (ac3), -aid 0, -alang eng, 3/2+1
[lavf] stream 2: audio (ac3), -aid 1, -alang fre, 3/2+1
[lavf] stream 3: subtitle (dvdsub), -sid 0, -slang eng
[lavf] stream 4: subtitle (dvdsub), -sid 1, -slang fre

So I only want the video (stream 0) and the English audio (stream
1). The rest can get dumped.

Does anyone recommend a format to dump this MKV to without the
French or any subtitles? MPEG? AVI? Other?

If you have a recommendation for a format can you also suggest the
best encoding tool and maybe even a command you would use?

Thanks,

Jack
