Hi all,
I'm writing an english assignment on the filmed versions of Shakespeare's HenryV by olivier and branagh, and recently bought the dvds. Anyway, my pc's dvd drive has decided to pack up so the only way i can watch it is on my iBook. I've been trying to rip it to a DivX/XviD file, but mencoder/dvdibbler have been causing me grief.
with mencoder, i can't get it to rip in anything other than 4:3 mode - even after playing with the crop settings, which is pretty crap since the movie's in 16:9. So i found DVDibbler. DVDibbler is just being full on weird. I've installed all the binaries for both mencoder + dvdibbler but it keeps getting stuck at one particular point:
...and that's as far as it gets
i think the line that's at fault is:
I've had a look through the docs but can't see anything that indicates a cause/resolutino to my problem.
anyone out there with any tips or alternative software i should try?
Thanks,
MrJ
