Hello world, I want to encode a ripped dvd -> divx with en/de audio channels & subs (I work as sysadmin on the foreign lang dpt. of my university & teachers make listening sessions w/ movies ...). I was thinking of encoding en & de audio to mp3 w/ the frameno process (3-pass), then encode the video with -oac null, and select each time the preferred lang on playback. As for subs I was thinking of the subrip/gocr solution to make 2 srt files. Is there any other, better & more "elegant" solution since I intend to convert our whole dvd collection (40-50 titles) to divx that way ?
Head to www.bunkus.org. You will find there bunch of tools to encapsulate video stream inside ogg stream normally used for vorbis audio. Advantages: - you can place as many audio streams as you want in ogg stream; - you can use vorbis audio instead of mp3 -- better quality with lower bitrates (I encode audio in tv series in vorbis 64kbps and it sounds way better than mp3@96 or even mp3@128 usually found in AVI); - you can have several subtitle streams inside the ogm file, so there is no longer a need to have several different files with second audio, subtitles etc - mplayer and xine can play it as well as any decent windows player (provided you installed OggDS filters available on the net); for windows I would recommend bsplayer; Disadvantages: - it's not avi Robert PS. Technically it's .ogg stream, but due to the way Windows treats filename extensions (since the first implementation of video-in-ogg was on windows) by convention the ogg stream with video is called .ogm (for ogg media). -- Bastard Operator From 149.156.96.35
