Free aplus dvd video to pocket pc ripper 8.79 software for linux

h264enc is a shell script which encodes video files or DVDs to the H.264 format using MEncoder. The script is targeted primarily at power users who like to tweak their settings in order to achieve best possible quality
The script supports virtually all options of the libx264 library and has further support for 1-pass, 2-pass, 3-pass and fixed-quant encoding modes, 11 different software scalers, DVD cropping, interlaced encoding, deinterlacing of video content, setting output frame rate value, various audio codecs (MP2, MP3, AC3, AAC, PCM, ADPCM), file splitting, and more....
Theres a man page which provides further info on the h264enc script. To access it after installation, open a console and type "man h264enc" without the quotes.
Note: instead of typing n every time you dont want to use a specific option, you can just hit enter. I also suggest to read the x264 part of the MPlayer man page so you
can get more familiar with what a specific option does as most of the x264 options supported by this script may have a huge impact on quality/encoding speed.
To obtain best performance, I suggest to download MPlayer and the libx264 library and compile them yourself. You should use the appropriate CFLAGS at compilation time to optimize the code for your hardware architecture (example: CFLAGS="-O3 march=athlon-xp mtune=athlon-xp -finline-functions -freorder-blocks -fexpensive-optimizations")
For more info on the MPEG compression, read the README.encoding file

Videotrans is a set of scripts that convert a movie file in any format that mplayer understands to a DVD-compatible VOB file, doing all the necessary conversions automatically. Videotrans provides an automatic DVD menu generator.
Videotrans has the following programs available:
movie-to-dvd
The movie-to-dvd program takes one or more input files and converts them into a separate MPEG2 video stream and a separate MP2 or AC3 audio stream.
This program takes care of all the necessary conversions, such as framerate adjustment, audio adjustment, zooming/shrinking for DVD frame sizes, etcetera. The program can determine which conversions are necessary on its own, no user intervention is required (but of course, it is possible).
When making a DVD, youll first convert all the movies that you want to put on the DVD into the MPEG2 video and MP2 or AC3 audio streams. Later, youll combine these with the movie-title program into a complete DVD.
movie-title
The movie-title program takes one or more video files that were converted by the movie-to-dvd program and a special title sequence that was produced by movie-make-title and combines all of these into a menu from which the viewer of the DVD can choose which movie he or she wants to watch.
The menu is created by displaying the title sequence in the background, with animated picture-in-picture versions of all the movies on top of that. The creator has the option of supplying information about the movies. This information can be viewed from the menu as well, on a movie-per-movie basis.
The program also generates an XML file for use with dvdauthor, the program that is used to actually create the DVD image that you will burn onto a DVD disc. The program tells you how to run dvdauthor to do the processing for you.
movie-make-title
The movie-make-title program is used to create a background movie and an audio track for DVD menus.
The movie-make-title program takes a single movie and cuts a specified part of out it. It then converts this piece of the movie into separate frames and saves the audio track in a WAV file for you.
Youll have to manually view all the frames and throw away those that you do not want in the title sequence of your DVD (the first few frames and the last few frames). Its not possible to automatically cut out the piece of the movie that you want exactly. I recommend xv for this purpose, although any image viewer that understands JPEG picture files will do.
Also, youll have to process the WAV audio file by hand, to cut out exactly that audio track that you want to hear when the menu is displayed. The movie-title program will make sure that the audio track lasts exactly as long as the movie part that you cut out does. This is to compensate for possible changes in the video frame rate and to correct small mistakes. I personally find sweep a very useful graphical audio processor for this purpose. Sweep can be downloaded at http://sweep.sourceforge.net/.
movie-rip-tv.com
The movie-rip-tv.com program is a convenience program that I personally use to gather interesting information about TV series. Given the name of a series (such as Star Trek Enterprise), a season number and an episode number, this program will create an information file in the correct format for use with the movie-title program. The movie-title program will then be able to display the episodes name in the menu and provide an information button which leads to the generated information (such as the director, the guest stars list, the description of the particular episode, etcetera).
movie-compare-dvd
The movie-compare-dvd program can be used after burning a DVD image to a DVD disc to verify whether all the data was written onto the disc intact. The program takes the on-filesytem copy and the on-DVD copy and compares the checksums of the files on both to find any differences.
Usage:
If you want to start quickly with these programs, and you have a couple of movies that you want to put onto a DVD, try this (assuming that your TV standard is PAL, otherwise specify ntsc instead of pal everywhere that its used):
movie-to-dvd -m pal movie1.avi movie2.avi movie3.avi
movie-make-title -o title -m pal -s 0 -e 60 -m pal movie1.avi
movie-title -o title.vob -t title movie1.m2v movie2.m2v movie3.m2v
dvdauthor -o dvd_directory -x title.vob-dvdauthor.xml
a_command_to_burn_a_dvd_from dvd_directory
In case you dont want a selection menu, you may also try:
movie-to-dvd -m pal -M movie1.avi movie2.avi movie3.avi
dvdauthor -o dvd_directory movie1.vob
dvdauthor -o dvd_directory movie2.vob
dvdauthor -o dvd_directory movie3.vob
dvdauthor -o dvd_directory -T
a_command_to_burn_a_dvd_from dvd_directory
In this case, youll have to use the DVD players navigation controls to get to the various movies on the DVD.
Enhancements:
- All sorts of clean-up was done.
- Some long-waiting feature requests have been implemented.
- In general, the program should work on more systems now.
