Regular readers will recall that I keep trying to convert my DVDs to .m4v files so I can put them on my tablet and read them away from my desk. My tablet doesn't have a DVD drive :-(
I recently asked about problems I was having with some DVDs that Handbrake could not make sense of.
I find that I can 'rip' them using K3b and with k9copy but I run into a problem with each.
With K3b it seems I can't transcribe the subtitles. I also end up with a .avi rather than a .m4v
With k9copy, despite the how-to that I find on the net (all of them) I can't produce a .m4v Instead I get a directory of all the individual chapters etc, sort of a like a transcription/copy of what's under the hood on the DVD. Well it is a 'copy'.
I try converting that with ffmpeg and it crashes. I try converting that with handbrake and it hangs.
That progress to date. Suggestions for what's next?
As I understand it, k9copy simply does what K3B does, but does it on-the fly. All those files that you see are faked up as you access them. So if K3B can't do it, K9copy won't be able to either, because they need the same codecs and other stiff opensuse won't ship. Once you figure out what is missing both methods will start working. At least that's how I remember it from when I got this all working a year or two ago. -- After all is said and done, more is said than done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
