how do I copy a DVD image to run transcoder on it later

how do I copy a DVD image to run transcoder on it later ?
will dd do it if so what would the command line be ?
what would the command line be for running transcoder to convert the mpeg2
to mpeg4 ?
will I have to mount the image on a loop device to run transcoder on it ?

Dunno if this'll help...

You could rip it to MP4 using Handbrake then use Transmagedon to change the format later if needed.
I've no experience of transcoder I'm afraid.

Play Bonny!

ok I copyed the scripts
the problem I have with them is what is the command lsdvd I don't have that command on slackware
edit found lsdvd installing it now
what do I feed them for $1

install lsdvd (and any other dependencies). i dont use slackware but on fedora it would be yum install lsdvd.

the first parameter is the name of the dvd file.

Code:

#!/bin/bash

dev=/dev/sr0



 dvd=`lsdvd $dev | head -n 1 | awk '{print tolower($3)}' | sed s/_/-/g`

 lsdvd /dev/sr0 && ddrescue --no-split --verbose --block-size=2048 /dev/sr0 $dvd.iso

this update mite work better for you (on my pc it is /dev/sr0) but it is hard coded and wont work on iso backups no more.

this was just a quick-and-dirty script i made. sorry for bugs.

I would use vobcopy to copy the VOBs off the DVD, then I would use ffmpeg to re-encode them.

Make sure to check the laws in your area for bypassing CSS encryption.

I think I ran a windows app that could rip to iso image under wine. Worked pretty well too. Slightly but not greatly slower than native rip in linux.
