[MPlayer-users] the features required using the mencoder.

[samuel]

Dear MPlayer fans,

i'm a newbie using the mencoder, and i'd like to rip the dvd into
piece segments. So first of all, i need to identify which bitrate is
there in my dvd. i prefer to have those info such as:

CD Length / File size 	680 MB's
Movie Length (minutes) 	131
MP3 Bitrate (kb/s) 	96
MPEG-4 Bitrate 	629

i know there would be the utils like "divx-calc" capable of doing
this, but i prefer to use it in command-line driven program. Does
there exist such utils so that i can use it for those cmdline-love
users.

Secondly, i practice using the "mencoder" the rip the dvd contents
into piece segments, but all i can do is using the mencoder to rip the
dvd title wholey.

For example, i use the cmds below to rip 1 dvd file into a avi-format file:

     mencoder vts_01_3.vob -sws 2 -oac copy -ovc lavc -lavcopts
vcodec=mpeg4:vhq:vbitrate=629  -vf scale=704:304 -o EM.avi

but i intent to rip the "vts_01_3.vob"  into a piece of segments, such
as, i would like to have the time stamp from the first 10min to the
30min thereafter.

How can i have this features using the "mencoder"?

Many thanks.
