Ubuntu Multimedia :: DVD - RIP Transcoding Multiple Titles?
Sep 21, 2010
Can't find anything quite like this having been asked already I have just bought all of Babylon 5, and want to put it on my hdd instead of using the discs. dvd::rip works fine for me. I can rip and then transcode titles to AVI manually. What I want is to rip a disc or two, and then have dvd::rip transcode them overnight (takes about 50 minutes per episode on my machine). I tried this on the command line: dvdrip -f transcode -t 2 b5s1d1.rip which, after briefly loading the GUI, just gets this error: Can't locate object method "error_dialog" via package "Video:VDRip::GUI::Main" at /usr/share/perl5/Video/DVDRip/GUI/Main.pm line 173. Gave up and found dvd::ripqueue, which is a gui utility that automates what I would have put into a script, but it doesn't work properly - dvd::rip launches, but only performs the first pass and produces no output. My projects were set up and saved correctly (as I said, all this works if I start it manually from the dvd::rip GUI).

I am using DVD::rip to convert some instructional DVD's to .avi (xvid + mp3). I have never used this app before but its seems fairly straight forward and easy to use. I am able to convert 1 title from the DVD to 1 avi file. One DVD however has 19 titles which vary from 3-5 minutes in length. My question is, can I convert all or at least some titles to a single .avi file and if so how?

I have an unencrypted DVD that is one big title, ie you cannot skip next / prev. What I want to do is reauthor the DVD with title at certain points, so that I can skip next / prev when watching it.
I'm using Ubuntu 8.10

I tried converting wma to mp3 with vlc, but an error comes up this is what it says.
p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; }
Streaming / Transcoding failed:
It seems your FFMPEG (libavcodec) installation lacks the following encoder:
MPEG Audio layer 1/2/3.
Either how can I get that encoder for vlc or what else can I use to convert wma to mp3?

I'm trying to convert a video in .ogm format to .avi format so I can stream it to my PS3 via uShare. I'm using Mencoder and the following command to do it (to transcode the audio from vorbis to mp3 and the video from mpeg4 to xvid):
Code: mencoder input.ogm -oac mp3lame -ovc xvid -xvidencopts pass=1 -o output.avi.The only problem is, the video contains 2 audio streams - one Japanese and one English. Needless to say, I need the English one. The above command only seems to transcode the Japanese audio though!Here's what ffmpeg has to say about the input file:
Code:
Input #0, ogg, from 'input.ogm':
Duration: 00:24:16.12, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 1280 kb/s[code]...
what I can do to specify the correct audio stream to encode? Also, how can I keep the bitrate the same as the output.avi seems to default to 96kbps?I'm not sure which audio stream is which but a little trial and error will sort that out in no time.

The commandcvlc --run-time 180 "http://amber.streamguys.com:4500/wcvehd1.m3u" --sout file/ogg:/home/mikeb/Audio_Recordings/WCVE-test"$(date +%F-%T)".oggwill successfully record a stream from my local NPR station. If I understand the messages thatare printed to stdout when I run it, this transcodes the mp3 stream to an ogg filece I am using this to timeshift a program that I otherwise would not be able to listen to, I would prefer simply to dump the stream in mp3 format without transcoding. tried changing "ogg" "dump" but that produces an error about the --sout option. Can someone tell me how to modify this command so that it simply dumps the incoming stream to a file in mp3 format

I've been interested in trying to figure out how to do some real-time transcoding to downsize video files on the fly and play them back on my android phone. I read the Mencoder and vlc documentations and am trying to figure out an open source method and i don't mind setting up an apache server and writing some code to get a web interface.

In newer versions of Avidemux wrong parameters are set when choosing "Sony Playstation Portable" from the Auto menu. The PSP doesn't support more than 2 reference frames or 8x8 DCT Transform.
This is how you can fix it. Backup the original file
Code:
sudo cp /usr/lib/ADM_plugins/videoEncoder/x264/Sony PlayStation Portable.xml /usr/lib/ADM_plugins/videoEncoder/x264/Sony PlayStation Portable.xml.org
Edit the file
Code:
sudo gedit /usr/lib/ADM_plugins/videoEncoder/x264/Sony PlayStation Portable.xml
Change this line

We are working on a project to create a display wall of 8 monitors arranged as 2 high by 4 wide. Each monitor is connected to a single machine and all machines are networked with a master machine with its own, seperate monitor.
Our goal is to get the 8 machines to share a single desktop, with the master machine acting as the server. We have looked at using Xinerama or NMM, but we are unsure about how to get started configuring the multi-machine, multi-head display.

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04, with the default appearance of a top and a bottom panel. You know how window titles appear in the bottom panel, and you can re-maximize minimized windows by clicking on that window title?ell, those window titles are no longer appearing. So when I minimize a window, I don't know how to bring it back.The bottom panel is still there, with the "show desktop" and the trash can icon on it.But no window titles.nd I don't have any idea what I did to make this happen.

When I switch tabs in Firefox or Gedit the window title doesn't update, though the task bar title does, and if I minimize and then restore it updates to the correct value until I switch tabs again. Are there any workarounds? What sort of debug info do I need to post?

One of the first things I do when starting Ubuntu (Netbook Edition) is to open a Terminal (ctrl-alt-T) with three tabs in it (ctrl-shift-T, ctrl-shift-T), one with irssi, one with ipython and one extra with just the commandline. Then I set the titles (F2) of the first two respectively to "irssi" and "ipython".Is there some way to write a script that automatically does all this? Or maybe save this configuration in a profile setting or something?

While I think Unity has its many ups and downs, I found it usable enough to choose it as my default desktop, after some customization. Somewhere in tweaking the desktop with ccsm - or elsewhere - I did something boneheaded. Now when a new window opens at the top of the screen, its title bar is hidden under the Unity panel. I could just wipe everything out and start over, but I kinda like the way things work on my desktop - with this exception. Where I might look to figure out what is letting windows be placed all the way up under the panel.
I did try creating a new account and looking at ccsm config export and comparing it to mine, but did not see anything useful. The only thing I changed with respect to window placement/handling, AFAIK, is disabling maximization at the top of the screen (in 'Grid' module); restoring that did not help. The problem turns out to be caused by using a window type 'panel' in my conky config. Changing the window type to 'desktop' cured the problem. Did not dive any deeper to analyse exactly what conky 'panel' windows do to interfere with Compiz/Unity.

My aim is to create a bash shell script that I can use in directories with many subdirectories full of .flac files for mass transcodings that recquire minimal user input.At present I have this file at ~/bin/flac2mp3:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
file="$1"
flac -cd "$file" | lame --preset fast extreme - "${file%.flac}.mp3"
I navigate to the directory in question and run:

I am looking for a way to place titles either on or under the previews in the Window Picker. I usually have many windows open, quite often with many of those windows being from the same program (i.e., OpenOffice Documents). I am wondering if the Scale plugin has some way of either overlaying titles when the mouse hovers over the preview, or if titles can be placed directly underneath the previews as they would be in OSX's Expose.

I've followed the instruction on this site. But I'm not able to play videos with subtitles on my LG TV. Transcoding is working (I tried the command in terminal) and I can see transcoded video in the list of videos on my TV. When I try to play the video, it shows error "Not supported format"

Is there a known bug in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS about this? When for example Brasero Disc burner is in action, it displays the progress as percentages in the title bar. This makes my sidebar that shows all open programs flick every time the percentage is progressing, and even worse; it switches between one and two column display on each flick... I am using the sidebar on the right side, and have seen some extra problem reports about that, but would appreciate any pointers to where this is being discussed and / or fixed.

What's the easiest software to use (simplest command) that will read a VIDEO_TS folder (a ripped DVD) and transcode it? I don't want a GUI. mencoder looks like my best bet, but I just wanted to check before I start transcoding all my DVDs with it. Also, auto-cropping would be a great feature, but I don't think mencoder can do this unless you find this out prior to the transcode with mplayer.

I am finding little bits and parts of information about CUDA enabled mplayer/mencoder .. apparently CUDA will enable your Nvidia GPU to do work when transcoding video instead of the CPU?
does anyone know if there are any Fedora RPMs of a CUDA enabled mplayer? how can you tell if your Nvidia card supports CUDA in linux? I found some ubuntu packages but so far nothing for Fedora

I'm using Sound Juicer 2.31.6 to turn CD Audio into digital format for my portable digital audio player.I put in the CD into my disc drive, load up Sound Juicer. I find the track listings on Music Brainz, after having MusicBrainz search FreeDB. But how do I import the track titles into SoundJuicer? I tried "Re-read disc" after entering the name and album exactly as it appears in MusicBrainz, but that doesn't help. It still says "Could not find Unknown Title by Unknown Artist".

I have a torrentbox. The special thing about this torrent box is that it's custom built, it has Windows 7 installed and I have full control over it using TightVNC. At the moment I'm using uTorrent WebUI and FTP do download the files. But I'm thinking - When I download a 1,5 hour long video in 30 minutes, wouldn't it be theoretically possible to just WATCH the movie directly from the torrentbox? Obviously this can't be dont using FTP since it makes you download the entire file, BUT:
Is there some other way to fool your OS into thinking that this is a local folder, and get media players like VLC or GOM player to play video files directly? This would be a monumental time- and space saver for me.(I have both Windows and Linux Mint on my PCs)

This is an error I got from VLC Media Player:
Streaming / Transcoding failed:
It seems your FFMPEG (libavcodec) installation lacks the following encoder:
MPEG Audio layer 1/2/3.
If you don't know how to fix this, ask for support from your distribution. This is not an error inside VLC media player. Do not contact the VideoLAN project about this issue.
It said not to contact VideoLAN, but instead the Distro so...here I am. Was there a file I should download in order to fix this? If there is one, where do I place it or run it to stop this error?

The music I ripped with Sound Juicer, or ripped with VLC and tagged with EasyTag both have the same tag issues. The tags work great system-wide in Ubuntu, and if I drop the song on a data CD and put it in my Pioneer stereo, the tags work there, too. I can put the song on my Walkman and then copy it to another Ubuntu machine, and the tags work on the second machine, as well.
However, the Walkman lists the song as Unknown Song, Unknown Artist, Unknown Album. Further, if I transport the file into Windows, the Windows system doesn't recognize the tags, either.This begs the question, are there multiple tag formats?
