Line 1: Line 1:
 +==== setup mplayer on debian the right way for encoding ====
 +  * first: apt-get install gcc make libxv-dev libsdl1.2-dev vorbis-tools mkvtoolnix
 +  * you have to download and compile at least (see mplayer-docs for where to get the software)
 +     * the x264 codec
 +     * lame (if you want mp3 sound encoding)
 +     * vorbis-tools (contains 'oggenc' for encoding sound to ogg vorbis)
 +     * mplayer itself
 +
 +  * procedure to find out what dev-files are needed: 
 +     * get mplayer-sources, run ./configure
 +     * less configure.log, look for i.e. "Xv" which you need enabled, see what files are needed.
 +     * then use https://packages.debian.org or the application apt-file to find out what package contains the file
 +
 +  * for cutting videos i like ProjectX: https://avidemux.org/admWiki/index.php?title=Project_X
 +
 +==== reading dvd-tracks out ====
 +  * %%mplayer dvd://1 -dvd-device /path/with/vobfiles    # play from directory%%
 +<code>
 +# find out what tracks you want to encode
 +for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8; do
 +     mplayer dvd://$i
 +done
 +
 +media=disc3
 +for i in 3 4 5 6; do
 +   mplayer dvd://$i -dumpstream -dumpfile ${media}_t${i}.vob       # dump track in a file
 +done
 +</code>
 +
 +
 +
 +==== preprocessing ====
 +  * Started cropping black stripes off bevore encoding. 'mplayer disc1_t3.vob -vf cropdetect' gives hints, 'mplayer disc1_t3.vob -vf crop=688:560:18:8' actually crops, 'mplayer disc1_t3.vob -vf rectangle=688:560:18:8' shows what will be cropped off. The resulting pixelranges should be dividable by 16 for efficient encoding later.
 +  * Noticed when fast moves in the video happen that video is interlaced. 'mplayer -pphelp' shows some possible options, 'man mencoder' also leads to option filmdlint and others. Just '-vf pp=li' does the job for me. Can be checked with 'mplayer disc1_t1.vob -vf crop=688:560:18:8,pp=li'.
 +==== encoding files with multiple audio-streams ====
 +<code>
 +preparations:
 +mplayer strean.m2t -v # find out numbers of audio-streams. for example 512 and 513.
 +mplayer stream.m2d -aid 512 # verify first audio-stream
 +
 +</code>
 +
 +The command for 2pass-encoding all files ending in .ts is:
 +<code>
 +for i in file*.ts ; do
 +#VFOPTS='-vf crop=704:560:0:8,softskip,harddup'
 +VFOPTS='-vf pp=lb,softskip,harddup'
 +TITLE='my title'
 +BITRATE='bitrate=900'
 +
 +OPTSLOW="subq=3:8x8dct:bframes=9:frameref=2:weight_b:keyint=300:threads=auto"
 +OPTSHIGH="subq=5:8x8dct:bframes=9:frameref=4:weight_b:keyint=300:mixed_refs:b_adapt"
 +OPTSHIGH="$OPTSHIGH:direct_pred=auto:partitions=all:trellis=1:me=umh:me_range=16"
 +OPTSHIGH="$OPTSHIGH:psy-rd=0.5,0.3:qcomp=0.7:nr=300:threads=auto"
 +OPTSHIGH="$OPTSHIGH:psnr:ssim:log=2"            # output-options
 +OPTSHIGH="$OPTSHIGH:nointerlaced:nofast_pskip:nodct_decimate" # no longer in mappage=no longer used?
 +
 +# get audiostreams out
 +mplayer $i -ao pcm:fast:waveheader:file=${i}_ger.wav -vc null -vo null
 +#mplayer $i -ao pcm:fast:waveheader:file=${i}_eng.wav -vc null -aid 193 -vo null
 +
 +mencoder $i -o /dev/null -nosound $VFOPTS -ovc x264 -x264encopts \
 +        $BITRATE:pass=1:$OPTSLOW:turbo=2 || exit 1
 +mencoder $i -o $i.2pass_x264.avi -nosound $VFOPTS -ovc x264 -x264encopts \
 +        $BITRATE:pass=2:$OPTSHIGH || exit 1
 +
 +oggenc -q5 ${i}_ger.wav
 +#oggenc -q5 ${i}_eng.wav
 +
 +mkvmerge -o $i.mkv --title "$TITLE" --language 2:ger \
 +        $i.2pass_x264.avi ${i}_ger.ogg
 +
 +#  mkvmerge -o $i.2.mkv --title 'ggf' --language 2:ger --language 3:eng \
 +mkvmerge -o $i.2.mkv --title "$TITLE" --language 2:ger $i.mkv
 +
 +done
 +</code>
 +
 +==== demultiplexing sound ====
 +For example to get mp3-file out of .flv files, ignoring the video-part.
 +<code>
 +# first try dumping the audio-stream, all two commands below try to do this:
 +mplayer infile.flv -ao pcm:fast:waveheader:file=outfile.wav -vc null -vo null
 +mencoder -ovc frameno -oac pcm infile.flv -o outfile.wav -of rawaudio
 +
 +# if you get a useful outfile.wav just encode it to ogg or mp3:
 +lame outfile.wav
 +
 +# this encodes directly just the audio. br=128 is the mp3-average bitrate. You could just 
 +# use the bitrate from the inputfile. The audio gets reencoded thou, so quality gets worse anyway.
 +mencoder -ovc frameno -oac mp3lame -lameopts abr:br=128 -of rawaudio inputfile.flv -o outputfile.mp3
 +</code>
