Hi, Apparently my e-mails rreach the list only when I write them directly in gmail, but not when they are sent (through gmail) from my mailer. I repeat, therefore the letter sent a couple of days ago: On Wed, Nov 19, 2008 at 07:46:54PM +0200, Alex Alexander wrote: > You could try mencoder: > http://www.misterhowto.com/index.php?category=Computers&subcategory=Video&arti cle=trim_or_split_with_mencoder > > with something like: > mencoder -ss 00:02:30 -oac copy -ovc copy /media/dvd/VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_1.VOB > /media/dvd/VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_2.VOB -o step1.VOB > mencoder -endpos 00:39:55 -oac copy -ovc copy step1.VOB -o step2.VOB > > | > | Alex Alexander > | There's a way to do it better - find it. > | > | Gentoo'd > | http://linuxized.blogspot.com > \ > > > On Wed, Nov 19, 2008 at 17:11, avraham rosenberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >wrote: .. > > Thanks, Avraham > >
Thanks Alex. With a very slight change it worked. The change was needed because tcextract did not recognize hte AVI format (funny that the default output format of mencoder is a proprietary format !). In order to get a mpeg file, instead, I used the command: $ mencoder -ss 00:03:00 concert.vob -endpos 00:38:43 -of mpeg -ovc copy -oac cop y -o dvorak.mpeg I built a simple DVD structure, checked it, burned a DVD disk and made sure it plays in the commercial DVD player. Now that I am past that hurdle, I feel tempted to come to grips with the DVD menus. But that will have to wait at least a week more, since we shan't be at home. Cheers, Avraham --
