You only need to count the + valid files, i.e., with 10000 frames, + already encoded to find out the first + parameter for this option. Drop the last AVI file + for it may be broken, but this is not the case if + you use ^C. Also use some other + basename for the "-t", like "-t 10000,movie1" to make + sure, not to overwrite your old files. Ok, the + braindead seeking implementation takes some time, but this is + rarely used anyway. + </uL> + <p> + +<li> Take a look at the DVD section to learn how to avimerge + the AVI-files. After merging, + try to play the big files with + <i>mplayer</i> + and seek around. The audio/video synchronization + should be acceptable. If everything seems fine, go ahead + and burn your CDs. Note, that AC3 AVI files tend to + be up to 25% larger compared to MP3 audio, which is the + default for transcode.<p> + + </ul> + +</table> +</table> + +<a name=tccat></a> +<table cellspacing="10" cellpadding="0" border="0" width="100%"> + <tr> + <td align=left valign="top" width=30% bgcolor="#a0a0a0"> + <table border="0" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="3" font size=+2 bgcolor="#ffffff" width=100%> + <td align="left" bgcolor="#e9e9e9"> + + <font>making a main title DVD backup with <i>tccat</i> </font> + </tr> + <tr> + <td> + +Here is a short guide for making a quick "backup" of +your shiny new multi-angle DVD. <br> +NOTE: Please make sure, the DVD explicitly allows you to make a backup copy. + +<p> + <ul> +<li> (0) insert your DVD;-) <p> +<li> (1) switch to a new empty directory $MY_PATH/DVD/ on your hard drive.<p> +<li>(2) if /dev/dvd is a link to your block device, use tccat's new -P + option <p> + + <table> + <tr> + <td align=left valign="top" bgcolor="#ccffcc"> + tccat -i /dev/dvd -P 1 | split -b 1024m - VTS_01_</td> + </tr> +</table> +<p> + This will result in a couple of files named <br> + + VTS_01_aa, VTS_01_ab, ...<br> + + (once LFS is fully working, a single file should be sufficient (???), + i.e., "tccat -i /dev/dvd -P 1 > VTS_01_1.VOB").<p> + +<li>(3) copy the IFO files by hand.
