encode-handheld-4.3.tar.gz

THE FILE IN THIS TORRENT IS NOT V4.4, use RS link below! NOTE: As of version 4.4 I have combined the features of rip-mkv-audio.pl into this version. It will now rip audio from .MKV and downmix to stereo properly using a52dec or dcadec. This of course requires a slew of new binaries to work properly. The script will complain and tell you what you are missing. use option -M to enable this functionality. Fetch v4.4 from RS here. http://rap i d s h are.com/files/207796411/encode-handheld-4.4.tar.gz NOTE: As of version 4.3 the script has full support for NTSC and PAL DVD sources. However you will have had to of ripped the DVD yourself to 1 vob file. If you are converting to any type other than psp720 you will most likely need to crop the source. Unless the video is true 16:9 or true 4:3 it will need cropping. I suggest testing crops with type ipod640. Crop until all of the black letterboxing is completely gone. Use options -z and -j to just do small encodes until you find the proper crop. Do not overcrop. Once you think you got it cropped correct, then back off by 2 pixels to ensure you didn't overcrop. If you see a thin black line then you know its not overcropped. Use last crop command for your encode. examples: encode-handheld.pl -t ipod640 -f whatever.vob -n "Whatever test" -z 10 -j 120 -T 76 -B 76 -R 2 (view output) (is the black letterboxing gone? if not increase crop) (pretending all letterboxing is gone...) (backoff 2 pixels) encode-handheld.pl -t ipod640 -f whatever.vob -n "Whatever test" -z 10 -j 120 -T 74 -B 74 -R 0 (view output) (do you see thin 1 pixel black border (ZOOM video)?) (if yes, do encode using orig values) encode-handheld.pl -t psp -pi -m2 -f whatever.vob -n "Whatever test" -T 76 -B 76 -R 2 Sometime you may have ragged edges on left and right, crop those too, usually only 2-4 pixels of edging on right and left. I highly suggest using vobcopy. http://vobcopy.org/ If your dvd is already in .iso or .img format then use this example (assumed root user): mkdir /mnt/disk mount -o loop ./whatever.iso /mnt/disk vobcopy -l /mnt/disk umount /mnt/disk Another note: If your video is totally out of sync from the get go, try skipping the first second by using -j 1 This script is not for noobs. I don't provide support on it other than what you see here. If you find an error though, please report. -HR

I actually installed a new OS to use this script because my FFMPEG was horribly out of date. Now I want to ask, what is your average convert time? Reason I ask is I started "encode" and went to bed. It was still running when I checked the next morning. About 8 hours.

Thanks for that info. My CPU is an athlon 2000. Standard DVD rip. Just impatient. I will try the 60 second test.
