Guest zeb Posted September 2, 2003 Report Share Posted September 2, 2003 Hello ! I participate to a DVD encoding software (under GPL), and I would like to present it to you ! Tuxrip is a Linux bash script for ripping and encoding DVD titles in mpeg4 format (DivX, XviD, FFmpeg libavcodec). It assists the user in every required step for encoding a DVD : per title or full DVD ripping, audio extraction and encoding, support for multi-audio tracks, 2-pass video compression for a given file size and quality, compressibility testing on a movie sample for optimal quality and resolution determination, support for codec options, audio/video synchronization, CD burning and automatic computer shutdown for nightly jobs. It uses oggvorbis for encoding audio and user can choose either FFmpeg libavcodec or XviD as video codecs. A full list of features can be found here. It requires several Free softwares that are usually pre-packaged for most distributions: mencoder, transcode, libdvdread, libdvdcss. There is a step-by-step installation guide for some mainstream distributions, in particular Mandrake. Tuxrip is able to display messages in English and in French, and new languages may easily be added in the future. Good rippings !

mtweidmann Posted September 2, 2003 Report Share Posted September 2, 2003 Sounds cool, and I think you must win the award for most links in a single post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zeb Posted September 2, 2003 Report Share Posted September 2, 2003 Sounds cool, and I think you must win the award for most links in a single post. Thanks :D If you want to give some feedback : tuxrip@free.fr The script has been heavily tested with PAL, region 2, DVDs. Don't hesistate to report some feedback of encrypting region 1 or 4 NTSC DVDs. There is an internal detection of NTSC titles, with automatic inverse telecine conversion, but this has been tested with a limited number of titles. Thanks.

mtweidmann Posted September 2, 2003 Report Share Posted September 2, 2003 Don't have access to my desktop for the next 2 weeks, but will definitely give it a go when I get back to Uni. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aRTee Posted September 2, 2003 Report Share Posted September 2, 2003 I will give it a go tonight! Thanks for posting the info here zeb! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zeb Posted September 2, 2003 Report Share Posted September 2, 2003 Thanks. For the small story : tuxrip began as a project on the hardware.fr forum, where we discussed about techniques about mpeg4 encoding. Then we had the idea to create a script that would handle every step of encoding and do the calculations of resolution, quality, and so on. The script is under GPLv2 and later, it is Free software. So people who can read french may find our discussions here : http://forum.hardware.fr/forum2.php3?post=18446&cat=11 and (obsolete but contains technical discussions) http://forum.hardware.fr/forum2.php3?post=15500&cat=11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Germ Posted September 2, 2003 Report Share Posted September 2, 2003 Howdy zeb. I read your post at Club and I'm definitely going to give it a try. Sounds great! :D /germ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zeb Posted September 3, 2003 Report Share Posted September 3, 2003 PS : erratum : oggenc is not needed anymore in tuxrip, since audio encoding is done by transcode. Of course, libogg and libvorbis are required though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
