[Automatic answer: RTFM (read DOCS, FAQ), also read DOCS/bugreports.html] Hello.
I'm just startingmy DVD-ripping experience. I bought "Saving private Ryan" and ripped it (w/ vobcopy). If I play the vob in mplayer it's all OK. So I did a 3 pass encoding: mencoder IT_1063531-1.vob -oac copy -aid 129 -ovc frameno -o frameno.avi mencoder IT_1063531-1.vob -oac copy -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vhq:vqmin=1:vqmax=31:vbitrate=1300:vpass=1 -aid 129 -o Ryan.avi mencoder IT_1063531-1.vob -oac copy -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vhq:vqmin=1:vqmax=31:vbitrate=1300:vpass=2 -aid 129 -o Ryan.avi
It all goes well (well... except it takes about 5h20', but I think that's quite normal, even on an AthlonXP 1900+) and the file is 2037M (so not more than the 2GB limit), BUT when I play Ryan.avi it's 4:3 instead of 16:9 ! :-(
Do I have to use -vop scale as TFM says in 2.4.2.2 (isn't it for VCD only?) ?
Yes, you must scale (and probably crop). Any way your movie is not 4:3, it is 1.5:1 Try play it with mplayer Ryan.avi -aspect 16:9; it must look fine. Regards, -- Martín Pavón martin_199ar@yahoo.com.ar http://mate.dm.uba.ar/~mpavon/
