dvd2divx3pass README

dvd2divx3pass is a simple perl-gtk frontend to mencoder, for ripping DVDs to DiVX.

How to install:
Copy the dir "DVD2DiVX3Pass" to somewhere perl can find it (e.g. /usr/lib/perl/5.8.1 ) Copy the file "dvd2divx3pass" to /usr/bin enjoy :)

Tip & Trics and Need-To-Knows:
- I could not help but notice that mplayer doesn't report the right DVD title lengths, so you could see a "neg. time" in your timer sometimes while encoding. That's not all, your videobitrate is completely wrong ! You can solve this by looking up the length of the movie (e.g. on the DVD cover or a search on google) and using that time in the "A/V Settings"-tab. I strongly suggest you install tcprobe from the package transcode, so you will not have to fuss about with that :) - Subtitles can bz ripped in a separate file (vobsub format only) - For surround sound use Encode Audio "copy" in the "A/V Settings"-tab - Do you have a DVD (vob)copied to hard disk? Use it's full path instead of the DVD device :) - Your settings are located in $HOME/.dvd2divx3pass, and are loaded at startup
