This time I started the process with almost 18gb free space.įFmpeg version CVS, Copyright (c) 2000-2004 Fabrice Bellard I have speedy audio and no subs when I open the file in vlc. On Windows, the easiest way to do this is by copying the files in the video directory on the DVD to a folder in your hard drive, then running the commands below, then deleting the source VOB files, Video files on a DVD are usually in the video_ts directory and have the extension VOB.Okay, I tried again, using DVDffmpeg.

NOTE to ignore: surely, you can do it by adding absolute paths, but that would force me to explain much more here. with find the directory and copy the path then append it here then copy the names and append them to the path and all that good stuff, so why not just make it simple with copy then delete the source.Īssuming you have ffmpeg installed and in your path, you would execute the command like so, concatenating all the video files in the DVD cd c:\directory_where_you_put_the_vob_filesįfmpeg -i "concat:VTS_01_1.VOB|VTS_01_2.VOB|VTS_01_3.VOB|VTS_01_4.VOB|VTS_01_5.VOB" outfile.mp4 Another note to ignore, On a linux box (The above works on both linux and windows), you can concatinate the VOB files then pipe them into ffmpeg like so cat VTS_01_1.VOB VTS_01_2.VOB VTS_01_3.VOB VTS_01_4.VOB VTS_01_5.VOB | ffmpeg -i - outfile.This more a post to myself than to others, but even so, others might find it useful as well.

Because sometimes having a DVD is inconvenient compared to your usual Matroska file saved on a HDD, I was looking for a simple way to encode the DVD.

This free software project, FFmpeg, is capable of converting VOB files to MP4. I have it decrypted and copied in a folder, but there are a bunch of 1 GiB VOB files, which is a) big, b) inconvenient.
#FFMPEGX MAKE DVD MP4#
If you mean you want to change a container, that is a VOB to MP4 or MKV without changing hte codec (MPEG2 to H.264, lets say), then yes, it can be done losslessly as follows: ffmpeg -i yourVOBfile. It can also handle FFmpeg VOB to MKV conversion quite well. VOB files use the VOB format, which is commonly used for DVD-Video media. As a result, they may contain menu, audio, video, and subtitle contents, in stream form. So the idea is, join the VOBs and transcode it into h264 (substitute theora, vp8 or dirac if you are more radical FLOSS supporter than me) and FLAC for audio. You can play back movies with VobSub subtitles with the ffmpegX 'Play' command.
#FFMPEGX MAKE DVD HOW TO#
Ffmpegx vob how to#Īctually simple search on the net presented me with an easy solution using FFMPEG (I kinda had problems with using the GUI ripping software), but it took some more research (reading the ffmpeg man pages) to find out how to rip more than one audio stream into the final file (I used a JAP/ENG DVD about Aikido). So, without further ado, here's the command: ffmpeg -i concat:VTS_01_1.VOB\|VTS_01_2.VOB\|VTS_01_3.VOB -map 0:v -map 0:a -c:v libx264 -crf 18 -vf yadif -c:a flac aikido.mkv (NB: extraction to '.srt' format is also possible but not while encoding, you should use for that the 'Extract' command below). The ffmpeg command is in ffmpeg package, from rpmfusion free.It's not in Fedora proper because of patent issues, I believe. -i concat:VTS_01_1.VOB\|VTS_01_2.VOB\|VTS_01_3.VOB marks that input file is a direct join of the three VOB files listed, the backslash is to escape the "|" so that it's seen by ffmpeg instead of bash.-map 0:v tells that ALL video streams are to be copied/transcoded.1/ Drop the VIDEOTS folder on ffmpegX and convert with a mencoder preset, and set the desired title, or. -map 0:a tells that ALL audio streams are to be copied/transcoded.2/ Create an MPG file with just the content from the desired title, and convert that with any preset you want. Notes: - VTS030.VOB through VTS038.VOB doesnt necessarily mean it is title number 3 on the DVD. -c:v libx264 tells that for video streams we'll use libx264 codec (i.-crf 18 tells that we want to use Constant Rate Factor, value 18 (which might be a bit of overkill, but I don't want to sacrifice quality for space and I don't have the time tune it).-vf yadif use YADIF deinterlacing, because I don't wanna keep interlacing in the video – I'll be playing it on a computer, after all.-c:a flac tells we'll be using FLAC for audio streams.Again, it might be overkill, but I like to keep the original sound without using nonfree codec like AAC or AC3. When I originally omitted the -map parameters, only single video and single audio stream were transcoded, so it's necessary if you want to transcode more audio streams or different stream than the first one.
