O Phil Brennan έγραψε στις Nov 24, 2004 : > Try not to confuse VCD with Divx. VCD=mpeg1,DVD=mpeg2,divx=mpeg4 ( roughly ) The way i managed to see the movie with mplayer was mplayer -cdrom-device /dev/acd1 vcd:// and the way to rip the movie was: mencoder -cdrom-device /dev/acd1 vcd:// -o \\ /usr/local/misc/MIKE_MOORE/MM.avi -oac mp3lame -ovc lavc -lavcopts \\ vcodec=mpeg4 # file /usr/local/misc/MIKE_MOORE/MM.avi /usr/local/misc/MIKE_MOORE/MM.avi: RIFF (little-endian) data, AVI, 352 x 288, 25.00 fps, video: DivX 4, audio: MPEG-1 Layer 3 (stereo, 44100 Hz) Thats how far i went. The vcd:// part of the mplayer "url" maybe made me think VCD has something to do with DivX. I'll have the CD at work in Friday, and maybe i can give you more info/ read some mplayer docs and have a result.
