Re: [PLUG] Windows X Linux
Hey, there's been a lot of discussion on this entire FUD page (for interesting fullforms, see http://www.acronymfinder.com/af-query.aspString=exact&Acronym=FUD&Find=Find ). Please look up the list archives for this. And appropriate answers have been given by companies as big as Novell & that, too, may be found in the archives.

[PLUG] DVD-Ripping to DivX to fit one CD?
Hi I'd like to rip a movie on DVD such that it fits one CD -- so that its under around 700MB say... I've used mencoder for this, but the resulting .avi always seems to be over 900MB. (I've tried scaling it to a lower resolution as well -- 512xHHH, DivX5 -- but that didnt seem to help). I surely can rip the movie in two parts (selected chapters), but there clearly must be a way to do this since many DivX movies that I have easily fit a CD. (I'm using the instructions at the end of the mplayer manpage, and am using DivX5 with libavcodec) Also, is there any other software that I could use for this? If you have any other tips/pointers on DVD-ripping, could you please let me know as well? Any help would be welcome :) -- __ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: (plug-mail@plug.org.in) List Information: http://plug.org.in/mailing-list/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.

Re: [PLUG] DVD-Ripping to DivX to fit one CD?
Hi, I can't help you in a direct way, since I don't know much abt Linux tools. But let me give you my eg of windows copying. This can help you. Consider the .dat file size of the movie "Dil Chahata Hai". Its 820 MB or something when its on a hdd. I had 650 or 700 MB sprint CDs (I dont remember the exact szie). I directly burnt the DCH files as a simple VCD movie on my sprints. Nero gave some warning that the data size is more than the destination capacity. But I ignored that warning and continued burning further. And I was able to create a regular movie VCD. This CD works perfect on my comp., as well as VCD player. Same was the case with other bigger movies like "Lord of the rings". ~A. --- Debajit Adhikary <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi > > I'd like to rip a movie on DVD such that it fits one > CD -- so that its > under around 700MB say... > > I've used mencoder for this, but the resulting .avi > always seems to be > over 900MB.

(I've tried scaling it to a lower resolution as well -- 512xHHH, DivX5 -- but that didnt seem to help). The size of the movies is determined by the data stream in them, Most tools try to give an approximate way of specifying the size, but it is never exact. The 900M AVI is probably the best that can be achieved using the codecs (and relevant parameters) that you specified. If you try to reduce the file size further that may result in degradation of the movie quality. You might want to try to reduce the size of the movie by encoding the audio stream at a lower bitrate or (god forbid) mono-sound. The resultant savings would not be huge, but its worth a try. (I'm using the instructions at the end of the mplayer manpage, and am using DivX5 with libavcodec) Try Xvid codec which is a lot better than the DivX one. Furthermore it is free-software. :-) Also, is there any other software that I could use for this? The AutoGK suite on Win32 systems [http://www.autogk.net/] may be worth your while. It is free software too. :-) If you have any other tips/pointers on DVD-ripping, could you please let me know as well? http://www.divx-digest.com/articles/index_english.html -- __ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: (plug-mail@plug.org.in) List Information: http://plug.org.in/mailing-list/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.
