Do you mind posting some screenshots ?

[linuxluemmel]

Is it possible to have the actual ripping logic in python code to make this cleaner and more compatible?

[zosky]

kudos linuxluemmel. this sounds great.
but i wont be jumping on the wagon.

i'm afraid the "good guys" will break down my door.
( because backups are not legit over here )
+ i dont have an optical drive in my dedicated rig :grin:

1 questions > in the linux ver - why pass the dd command through ssh ?

1 questions > in the linux ver - why pass the dd command through ssh ?

Hello :)

This has 2 Reasons ...

1. ) I could start the command over the network from a remote xbmc
2.) IO Operations from any child process startet under xbmc is very slow ....

Example :

Generate the preview over ssh needs a few secounds
Generate the same preview inside a process startet inside xbmc needs 15 Minutes to complete ...

This is the reason ....

I'm still working on release 0.4C ... Looks good and I will download today or tomorrow ...

BTW : After this IMHO working Linux release I will working on the BLue-Pill (Windows Version)

[linuxluemmel]

http://luemmels-dvd-ripper.googlecode.com/files/dvd-red-linux-0.4C.tar

[linuxluemmel]

http://code.google.com/p/luemmels-dvd-ripper/downloads/list

[linuxluemmel]

OK in this release ... dd process is startet in the background ....
under windows ....

http://luemmels-dvd-ripper.googlecode.com/files/dvd-blue-windows-linux-0.4F.zip

[linuxluemmel]

This release speaks English / German / French / Spanish


;=

[linuxluemmel]

This Red-pill speaks the same languages like the blue-pill

[newb2linux]

Can anyone help a new Linux user install this plugin?

I have it in the Scripts directory and tried to follow the read me from the authors project site. I'm using XBMCLive and wasn't able to just copy the code from the read me. Can somebody explain what I would need to change in his code to get the dd working for the redpill version?



:)

[spiff]

you pointed out your own "stupidity" right away.

you have a plugin in the scripts directory???

[linuxluemmel]

Ok sometime instructions are not read well .....

I will adapt the readme ...

Greetiing Hans
:cool:

[linuxluemmel]

Because the red-pill is a script you have to copy the tar file into your script direcrtory for the user.

If your user nanme is "user" you would copy the tar-file to /home/user/.xbmc/scripts/my scripts/

Now do untar the file inside the directory: tar xvf dvd-red-linux-0.4G.tar

Now you have the script on right place ..... Read on to make the ssh connection working

[linuxluemmel]

Hello to all users of my script .)

As you may see in the last few days I uploaded multiple releases
for the blue and red pill. At the moment the 2 releases share the
same number 0.4G.
The blue pill runs now dd as a hidden process ...

In a week I would like to make a public release 0.5A for Linux (red-pill).

- This release will have a EULA at startup witch has to be accepted
one time. After the confirmation of the so called EULA the screen
never shows again .

- Burning allready ripped iso's back to a dvd should work

- I also try to integrate 1-2 transcode Functions (vcd / svcd)

- I try to make the documentation of the tool "dummy-proof' :grin:

- Allmost over 100 Downloads in the last days of my scripts make me happy

- A little bit more feedback would be great .... As long you don't say that my
script has wiped out your entire harddisk ..... (remember dd is dangerous ..)


Ok to all of you and I send the best wishes from switzerland
Hans

[spiff]

i assume your saw this; http://xbmc.org/devblogs/ - which is prob why you saw the spike in downloads :)

[linuxluemmel]

Yes I saw the spike because on graphic is referenced .....

Over 3500 .... LOL

No , I mean donwload of the code (blue and red) ... there are a least 100 Donwloads in the last days ....

I think as a Linuxlummel ..... no news are good news.... nobody wiped the disk ...

LOL
Hans

[linuxluemmel]

I made a help to decide you what kind of pill you could use or not ...


http://code.google.com/p/luemmels-dvd-ripper/wiki/BLUEversusRED


edit: I hate this typos ... but excuse me ... my native language is german ....


Edit 2: I also made a feedback for users of my script ... please us it and give some feedback

http://code.google.com/p/luemmels-dvd-ripper/wiki/Feedback

Without feedback it is difficult to develop any kind of programm ......

[linuxluemmel]

Hello to all ,-)

I'm stil working on release 0.5A (red-pill). All this transcoding things needs a little
bit more time than expected.

In the next red-pill there are a few things to come :

- shows at startup a EULA witch hast to be accpeted.
- If you accepted the EULA by the next start it is not displayed longer .
- transcoding to avi / svcd / vcd should work

As soon the release is ready I would like to inform here on this thread.

With the best greeting from the country of milk and honey ;_=
Hans

edit :

BTW:
Would someone like to have a function to transcode a dvd for playing on Cellphone ?

[linuxluemmel]

1.) Canada - Good to go

In Canada it is legal to download, make copies of media and record from TV for personal use only. You can't share / upload / sell the works that you have obtained without express permission of the copyright owner.

SO: You can make a backup copy of the 300DVD you purchased (or all 300 DVD's for that matter). You CAN also copy DVD's from Blockbuster for personal use. You CAN download from FTP and IRC, but you CANNOT (well... not allowed under Canada's copyright legislation) download through Torrents, because technically the torrent clients upload at the same time as you download the files; and you can not distribute copyright protected materials in whole or in part.

All this personal use stuff off the internet is allowed because Canada's copyright laws do not specify the source from which you can make copies of work that are protected by the copyright law. They can be CD's, DVD's, FTP, TV, IRC, ETC.

This is reinforced by the fact that we pay a copyright levy on all blank storage medium that we purchase. CDs, DVDs, MP3 players, Flash Chips, Hard Drives, the works. The levy goes into a fund to compensate artists for the personal use copying that people do in Canada. You pay this levy even if you are putting your own original content on the medium (pictures, family videos, etc).

So don't worry about having to get around the pesky copy-protection mechanisms on your DVDs. You are perfectly within your rights to make personal copies.

If you get sued I'm not taking responsibility though haha
The above is my interpretation of the opinion of the Copyright Board of Canada which has yet to be tested in court.
Just google the following: downloading+legal+canada for people who are still questioning..

ok thanks for the info .... I will update my homepage for country canada
on the legal side

As I see you have allmost the same law we have inside switzerland.

As long you dont upload a dvd to anywhere (ftp,cat,irc,share,p2p) it is legal
. We also pay a tax on every single blank media inside switzerland ....
We can download from anywhere we like ... as long we do not upload

Ok What about the land of Pirate Bay ?
Or Holland ?
Russia ?
Italy ?
Färöer ?

Something I found regarding Europe copyright laws

http://www.euro-copyrights.org/index.php/

Finland
Effect on fair compensation for private copying

In Finland, to compensate right holders for the losses of private copying, a levy is paid for blank cassettes and similar recording media. According to the draft bill the levy is to be paid for all means on which content may be recorded. Technological measures may, however, affect the compensation for private copying (Section 26 a). According to the explanatory memorandum there shall be no levy on devices allowing the recording only of content protected by technological measures. To the extent a copyright owner has received licensing payment this may affect his right to a share of the levies.

Denmark
Can I lawfully make a copy for my personal use of a film on DVD or music on a CD, which I lawfully acquired?

Yes, you are allowed to do so unless the DVD or the CD is protected by a measure which makes it impossible to copy unless the measure is circumvented, which is the case as regards e.g. copy-protected CDs.

However, if you have borrowed or leased the DVD/CD from others, including from libraries or a video store, it is illegal to make a copy of it. Nor is it legal to copy a copy of a CD/DVD if you have got the copy from others.

Is it allowed to circumvent a copy-protection mechanism in order to make a copy for my personal use of a film on a DVD or of music on a CD?

No, it is illegal to circumvent the copy-protection mechanism, although it is legal to make a copy for your personal use. If a DVD or CD is copy-protected you are in other words excluded from legally making a copy for personal use.

Germany
In some European countries, it is either legal or at least not definitely illegal to make personal backup copies of a DVD. In Germany it is illegal to distribute any software capable of evading copy protection. In Norway the legality of breaking the CSS algorithm was tested in 1999, when the algorithm was made public by Jon Johansen. Mr Johansen cracked the algorithm in order to create a program to play DVDs on computer running the Linux operating system. He then posted his program code, DeCSS, on the Internet. The movie industry took Johansen to Court - and lost! In January 2003, the court ruled that Norwegian citizens were free to make copies of DVDs which they had bought legally.

I have read somewhere that DVD CSS in NOT a copy protection but rather a
playback prevention.
So if you copy a DVD with only CSS-Protection (e.g. using DD) you also copy
CSS and dont bypass any copy protection. :eek:

I think this can be discussed endlessly because the local rights are not always clear. - Nice thread anyway.

Yes, of course .... but do for example the following ...
login to a german board and link directly to the homepage of the project.

Inside germany the master of the board including you would have a big problem
if some crazy nuts philadelphia lawyer would see your message with the link.
( ok some l..... are to stupid to piss a hole into the fresh snow.)

This happen allready in 2006 with a german puplisher called heise

Happy ripping ....

[newb2linux]

I had the script in the right location. Im getting the error NO WRITE ACESS.
I can't seem to get the terminal stuff working.

ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub user@localhost <--

When I use whoami i get xbmc

so I used ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub xbmc@localhost
error: /usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: ERROR: No identities found

i can't get any further than that. Im sure is something simple that I just don't get yet with permissions on LINUX.

guidence please :)

[newb2linux]

NM.. I was doing it wrong.

[linuxluemmel]

I had the script in the right location. Im getting the error NO WRITE ACESS.


The error NO WRITE ACESS means you have no write-access or the
directory (default /dvdrip) doesn't exist.

On my own maschine /dvdrip is symlink to a very big ... big ... partitions

ERROR: No identities found
you don't created the key inside your home directory

DD.exe can take hours and hours to rip a single DVD.

Normal? Is this just the pseudo "bad sectors" on the DVD messing with the DVD Drive and is there a way to speed up the rip process with DD.exe?

hours ? normlay under linux i guess not more than 35 min. for a dvd ...

What os ?
What filesystem ?
Howmany memory you have installed ?

edit : Do you have scratcheds dvds ?

XP, NTFS, 4 gig of ram. I'll try a different dvd.

Does DD.exe remove CSS? When I mount an ISO that was ripped with DD.exe it appears to not have CSS.

Under linux and windows the css is not removed ....
As I testet the dd (blue) with windows on my notebook it had a little bit more
than 37 min. to rip a dvd ...
Could you try to adapt the bs=2048 argument in the default.py file ?
May also test to rip with a other dvd ?
Do you have any software installed like clonecd or something similar ?

How long it takes to rip a dvd for other users of the script ??
On my personal notebook (linux and windows) between 35-38 min.

Best regards from switzerland ....

:nerd:

[linuxluemmel]

Ok I made a new release :

http://luemmels-dvd-ripper.googlecode.com/files/dvd-red-linux-0.5A.tar


Ok transcoding a allready riped dvd or a inserted dvd to the following formats is supportet:

- native mpeg2 from dvd
- vcd and svcd for PAL
- vcd and svcd for NTSC

In one of the next releaeses after 0.5A i would like to export to :

- divx
- mpeg4 / h264

Feedback would be fine ...
Best regards from switzerland ....

[newb2linux]

With the 5a DVD-red I cant do back to back ripping. for some reason Im unable to do any transcoding either? my XBMC crashed on reboot too afer the pluging fails.

[linuxluemmel]

With the 5a DVD-red I cant do back to back ripping. for some reason Im unable to do any transcoding either? my XBMC crashed on reboot too afer the pluging fails.

Did you install transcode including all tools ?
mjpegtools

On my Mhythbuntu 9.04 it works perfect to transcode ....

Is someone other who can not transcode .... ?

Maybe you forgot to install all the scripts to your home directory ?
Are the scripts executable ?

chmod +x dvd2svcdpal.sh as example

I tested the native command and svcd and vcd for pal.
The 2 scripts for ntsc settings are just adapted from the working ones.


Regards
Hans

edit :
You need a big place to transcode .... you may filled your hd with the transcoding ??

I guess yes ..... the transcode script filled your hd completly ...
the first process that would like to write to disk crashed ....
because there was no space left ....
This would be a explination.
Howmany installations with a linux system you alleady made ?

BTW : This is a just for knowing ... every person startet once with a new system ....

1.) Make a big partition with a very good filesystem like xfs
2.) mount this partition anywhere in your system ... /media/big-mama-partition
3.) edit /etc/fstab to your needs ...

Symlink the partition to /dvdrip

ln -s /media/big-mama-partition /dvdrip

do you have space left ?
df will give you the answer ...

[linuxluemmel]

Ally my script inside the home directory can be executed by hand ....
Open a console and type for example ...

./dvd2mpeg2.sh /dev/sr0 /dvdrip ausgabe 1 1

This would the inserted dvd transcode to mpeg2

- Device /dev/sr0
- The directory would be /dvdrip
- the file name (ausgabe) for the ouput without extension mpeg (this will be added ...)
- Title 1 of the dvd will be converted
- Audio Language 1 will be used ...

Look exactly that the transcode (Version 1.07 or higher is needed ) process
doesn't produce errors about something missing ....

If all went fine call the transcode export over the script...

Regards
Hans

[linuxluemmel]

Hello to all ;-=

I made a mistake in the audio select dialog......

replace this inside default.py

Audio_select = Audio_select + 1

with this

Audio_select = Audio_select + 0

In transcode the audio channels are starting with 0 and not with 1
mea culpa mea culpa

I allready fixed this error in red-pill 0.5B witch will be released soon ...

Regards
Linuxluemmel

edit :
As you know ... Beta release software allways have little errors ....

[linuxluemmel]

I have been informed that there is no subtitle select dialog ...
Yes ... I fore one transcode in the most cases with only 1 audio language
and without any subtitle.

Ok now it is about you : The users of the script ....

Should I add a dialog for selecting a subtitle or may a secound audio language

Please give me some feedback by pm
ot at email linuxluemmel.ch@gmail.com

With the best regards from switzerland where the weather is a nightmare for juli ....
Linuxluemmel :-)

[linuxluemmel]

Hello to all ;_=)

Ok here is the release ...

http://luemmels-dvd-ripper.googlecode.com/files/dvd-red-linux-0.5B.tar

and the Readme for 0.5b

http://code.google.com/p/luemmels-dvd-ripper/wiki/Redpill05B


Please read it carefully .... There are a lot software packages that should be installed If you wish transcode to divx / h264 / ogg-vorbis

- All log-files from transcode and dd are located inside ~/dvdripper
- Audio-Selection is now corrected
- You can stop anytime a rip-job / even If you exit the script and comes later back !!!!!

Best regards ...

but i get no iso in the folder just some more log files.
it doesent seem to actually start ripping.

i also tried the script directly from xbmc but i get a error that
the iso output directory has no write access. ?

okay figured out the error in the terminal:
ssh xbmc@localhost ./dvdrip.sh /dev/sr0 /dvdrip change-me.iso

should be:
ssh xbmc@localhost ./dvdrip.sh /dev/sr0 /home/xbmc/dvdrip change-me.iso

:)

now its ripping an iso to my dvdrip folder :)

your script sounds very nice !

i followed your guide, since im no linux guru i made a few mistakes
and misunderstood some of your guideance ;)

however i got to this:

(T: XBMCLive)xbmc@XBMCLive:~$
(T: XBMCLive)xbmc@XBMCLive:~$


but i get no iso in the folder just some more log files.
it doesent seem to actually start ripping.

i also tried the script directly from xbmc but i get a error that
the iso output directory has no write access. ?

okay figured out the error in the terminal:
ssh xbmc@localhost ./dvdrip.sh /dev/sr0 /dvdrip change-me.iso

should be:
ssh xbmc@localhost ./dvdrip.sh /dev/sr0 /home/xbmc/dvdrip change-me.iso

:)

now its ripping an iso to my dvdrip folder :)



As I saw this

T: XBMCLive)xbmc@XBMCLive:~$ ssh xbmc@localhost ./dvdrip.sh /dev/sr0 /dvdripper change-me.iso
./dvdrip.sh: line 20: cd: /dvdripper: No such file or directory

It was clear .... it was startet with the wrong directory ....

If something is not clear I try to help ...

BTW : I would symlink the directory /dvdrip to your greatest partition

ln -s /media/big-mama-partition /dvdrip

and you don't have to touch the directory inside the script ...

your script sounds very nice !
i followed your guide, since im no linux guru i made a few mistakes

Okay ripping dvd works.

Some sugestions:

each time i start to rip a dvd i have to go trough the same screens, typing in with my remote all the info needed to change. This is not user friendly.
There should be some way to config these settings so that the ripping starts right away after you have choosen the iso name. then im thinking of:
/dev/sr0
/dvdrip
/ssh user@localhost

About the /dvdrip - this only works if you symlink. to use a local folder in the home directory you need to edit the line to: /home/xbmc/dvdrip

I also bellive that when you have setup your enviroment the only popup for the user should be about the iso file name, and possibly a "start" button.
theres to much popups now ;)

also a bug:
if you try to enter a directory that doesent exist it will crash.

Also when the ripping actually starts a progress bar in would be nice.
Possibly with a "pause" and "cancel" button on it.

I love your work and cant wait for the burn to dvd to become a feature :)
this script has a high waf factor when tweaked a little ;)

gonna try transcoding soon and report back.

Most of the things you said are allready in the pipeline ...

if you define 1. time ->

-the source dvd
-the rip directory
-the proper ssh-command

should be fine ....
I will try to write this settings into a configuration-file ...

and BTW beta software has a lot of changes during development .-)

Thanks for the feedback ...

okay transcoding :)

from my terminal-
./dvd2mpeg2.sh /dev/sr0 /home/xbmc/dvd-rip dvdvolume 1 1

works like a charm.

but from xbmc i just get tossed back to the main script after i have entered
where to store the transcoded file... no options for formats etc ?

okay EDIT:
./dvd2mpeg2.sh /dev/sr0 /home/xbmc/dvd-rip dvdvolume 1 1

that line transcodes the dvd directly from the disc...

i tried to use the iso file from xbmc....

[The-Boxhead]

i get carried away you know :) thanks for all the hard work i know
you put into this. and i understand that this is beta but i gonna try and help
you as much as i can with testing.

i could also write up some new setup guidelines, but maybe wait
until you are at a more stable state ?

I also think that adding a file browser window to select ripping directory would
be a huge improvement.

1. june .... I still learning .... BTW The xbmc-script engine enables you to do allmost
anything ...

Yes there is a lot ow work to do ....
If you would like to help me to produce a better documentation ... fine .. you are my hero ;-)

In a week I would like to produce version 05.C in witch all settings storend inside
a configuration directory ~/dvdripper/configuration and the parameters for device
and ssh and directory never come up anymore :_=

This week I should also prepare some documentations for my students ;-)

Ok I guess you have to symlink your directory where you are storing the
the rips to /dvdrip

I saw it is hardcoded in the dialog ....

I know this is a problem but look on the other side every linux user
has its own partition schema ...

Some do ripp inside home ... some do ripp in a own partition
some do ripp to nfs shared directory (and some other do fill up
the root partition ....LOL )

All you have to do is to symlink your personal directory to /dvdrip
and yes .... it can be anywhere as long the symlink exist.

Regards
Hans

If you wont to transcode a rip do :

./dvd2mpeg2.sh /home/xbmc/dvd-rip/name.iso /home/xbmc/dvd-rip dvdvolume 1 1

It does exactly the same like from dvd but using a ripped dvd

[linuxluemmel]

http://code.google.com/p/luemmels-dvd-ripper/wiki/sshCommands


and please do symlink your rip-directory to : /dvdrip
or
mount a big partition on this mount-point .-)

I received 1 nice little hate email from a very upset user from germany because the transcode process filled the root partition ...This user could try ln -s /dev/null /dvdrip and he has never more a problem with the space inside the rip directory LOL LOL LOL

Sorry but I don't feel responsible if my script is false installed .....

And in the EULA on startup it stands white on black.

With the introduction of H264 does that mean that the ripper can handle a blu-ray disc?

sorry no .)

only export to h264 :-(

[linuxluemmel]

A few days ago I asked if someone would use this feature.
I do not need subtitles for my export (any format).

But I see there is may the need for a secound language to export.


Regards
Hans

[The-Boxhead]

Yeah a second language would be great.
Like i always make backup of my kids dvd's. They
usually have nordic subs, to pick one would be cool.
Same for audio language's

Usually i pick Norwegian subs if available and then Norwegian
voice and original english voice (for cartoons and anims)

So you would need subtitles and a secound audio language ...

OK ... is in the pipe ...

I do work on 0.5C in witch all settings are stored in configuration file

- dvd device
- rip-directory
- ssh command


What about the exported files ? mpeg1,mpeg2,h264 and ogm

Do they look good ?

I for one do favor the export h264 ...

So I could move the h264 menu-entry to the top .....

Regards
Hans

[The-Boxhead]

Exelent news. looking forward to next release and
also when do you plan on adding burn to disc capabillity ? :)

H.264 is by far the logic format when ripping dvd's in my eyes.
Storage space these days are really not a problem and by the
large number of users using HD content i bellive it will make good sense to make that the default choice yes.

I also bellive that adding a browse dialog to select where to store rips would be very nifty for the not so techy xbmc user. then they could just browse to a networks source or whatever as they are used to in xbmc.
Then as you allready are planning on to store this settings for the next time is gonna be great. So the next time you only get asked about the name of the iso before you can rip. (in that dialog there sould be buttons to select another source and format if desirable but it default to last selections)

When it comes to how the ecoded files look i need to investigate som more
but gonna report back my findings here also.

[linuxluemmel]

Exelent news. looking forward to next release and

I allready send some dvd to hell .-) Because the dual layer dvd's are very
expensive inside switzerland I wonna wait ....until somebdoy may have a tip
or a stupid trick ...

A ripped dvd should look to a burning application like a normal iso file.
But for some reasons I don't know my burnded dvd's from images are
only for the carbage ....
Before I can not produce a few well written dvd's it is still in the pipe ...

In meantime I also do make tests with vlc as streaming-server ....
You could view a ripped file
- in a browser
- in a ps3 or psp

Regards
Hans

[The-Boxhead]

why not create a smaller test iso file that doesent require dual layer
to investigate on. I also bellive that most burner programs support a "simulation" mode wich performs all the action exepct actually burning to the disk. I have no idea on linux though if this is possible :)

what may also work is to install a virtual image recorder, it acts like a real recorder but writes a iso file instead. I have used this
when debugging stuff in windows but not sure if its possible in linux.

[linuxluemmel]

I had also a few questions to the users of my script.

1.) Howmany of you have a dual-layer burner ?

Because most of the normal dvd do not fit on a single layer dvd


2.) Inside my country (switzerland) this dual-layer dvd's are very expensive ...

It makes about 5-6 euro for a single medium....


3.) or there is maybe a other solution ... I would make a native export
to mpeg2 with 1 or maximal 2 Audio languages and then make dvd of this
export. I guess nobody needs the specials on a dvd ... only the main movie
is important ....

In this case a normal single layer dvd-r witch is very cheap could be used.

I testeted under Linux K9copy and I was not very amused about the quality ...

[The-Boxhead]

well on a dual layer dvd much of the space
is used for different audio channels and audio language, extras
etc etc.

On windows i usually use a proggy to strip away everything exept the
main movie and keep one type of audio language. Usually this
method always allows me to fit them on a single layer dvd.

Not sure about all the details of have you encode to h264 but
only taking the main movei and only one audiochannel and then encoding the audio to mp3 cuts a hell of alott space.

EDIT

the price here in norway for a 8x dual layer disc is about 1,75 euro's

[linuxluemmel]

Hello to all .)

I do still working on release 0.5C that has a few nice features

- All jobs could be run with confirmation or with default values
- All settings are stored in a configuration file
- Transcoding also supports a secound language
- Subtitles could be added or not

In the next days the new release will be published ....

Hello linuxluemmel,

Very interessting thread here.
I am living in Spain --> Red Pill is good for me ;-)

I have one question: When u rip the DVD to ISO, does it rip the complete DVD or only the movie?
In Windows I use CloneDVD, to choose only the movie and the audios and subs that I need.

In some days I will finish my HTPC and then will help testing.

Hello and greetings to spain :-) Ola a toda la gente :-)

If you rip a dvd it is a exactly 1:1 copy of the dvd including trailers
and all audio languages .....
the only down-side is the size ... it needs about 7-8 G for a movie

If you decide to transcode a movie you can select between multiple
output formats (mpeg1 / mpeg 2 / divx / h264 / ogg-vorbis).
By transcoding you can select witch title you wish to transcode and you can select up to 2 audio languages (new since 0.5C).

In the moment I still have a few problems with the subtitles ....
after this problem is fixed and I adapted all shell scripts I release 0.5C
for the puplic.

I for one do favor h264 to transcode ... it is fast ... good quality ...
and the size is also good ....

Regards
Hans

Ach ja bevor ich es vergesse ... Das Wetter in der Schweiz ist für Juli
eine Katastrophe ... Es hat vorgestern bis auf 1800 Meter geschneit ....
BRR...

[Frozone]

OK, that's not so good for me.
Because I like to stay with the complete iso to not loose quality, but only with the main movie to safe memory.

If transcoding for sure I take h264 codec. Using handbrake for this. For now.

[linuxluemmel]

Hello to all .-)

As you may know I still work on release 0.5C and I found some problems with
the secound audio language and the subtitles. After some searching I found
a solution to speed-up the transcode process multiple-times (3-4). For this speed-up all my shell script hase to be rewriten. This will delay the delivery
of the release 0.5C a few days.

The rewriting of the scripts has a few enhancments witch will be very nice ...

- If you start a script with wrong agurments ... the script writes a
helpscreen and do exit.
- In every script the needed software-commands are tested first ---
if the script on startup do not finde the command ... write error-message
to the log-directory and exit.
- In the old scripts (prior 0.5C) the transcode process was started allone
and the needed subprocesses (tcat,tcextract) communicate with the
parent process over pipes. In the new release all commands are started
allone and do communicate over FIFO sockets


I hope most of you can wait a short period of time longer than useal.

Best greetings from switzerland

Hello Bodys ;_)

Yesterday I workd on the new implementation of the script

dvd2mpeg2.sh

Yes . It rocks .....

It exports a movie in perfect native mpeg2 from dvd with ac3 sound in less than 10 Minutes ...

(1 chapter and 1 audio )

Exporting with 2 audio-languages needs 5 minutes longer than with one ...


BTW: Howmany of you do transcoding to vcd or svcd ?

Should I remove them from the menu ?

Is native dvd / h264 / ogg-vorbis enough ?

This is pending from votes of the users ......

A short answer inside the thread would be nice .....

The transcoding of the subtitle seems to mee like a nightmare wiithout a end.
but I hope until the weekend the problems are solved.

Regards
Hans

Why don't you rip the subs in .idx .sub formats diretly? It just keeps native dvd sub format, instead of trying to transcode them ?

To analyse the dvd and find the subs in the structure, something like this should works:

mplayer dvd://1 -dvd-device /mnt/iso/ -vo null -ao null -frames 0 -v 2>&1 | grep sid

dvd://1 for first title of the dvd.


Then when can extract each sub track we want with the good sid parameter:

mencoder dvd://1 -dvd-device /mnt/iso/ -ovc frameno -nosound -o /dev/null -sid 0 -vobsubout subtitles-fr

Hope it helps you.

Keep up the good work.
Cheers.

[Frozone]

Vote: Only need native DVD and H264

[natethomas]

Vote: Only need native DVD and H264

Agreed. And when transcoding to H264, preference is to keep native AC3 or DTS.

Thanks for the tip ..... You are the hero .... A very big THANK-YOU :grin:

extracting the subfiles is working now .... I guess you know ...
The next problem arrived ...

After extracting I have 2 files ...

rw-r--r-- 1 user user 47849 2009-07-23 02:13 test.idx
-rw-r--r-- 1 user user 3835904 2009-07-23 02:13 test.sub

/>
</stream>
</subpictures>


and would like to mux the stream .....
allways error that test.sub could not be loadet .

Has anyone a little tip ?

I do start spumux like this :

spumux -v 8 -m dvd -s0 /dvdrip/dvd.xml < ausgabe.mpg > ausgabe-new.mpg


The output is ....

all was fine but muxing is even now not possible ....

In fact that is normal ;)

textsub filename="/dvdrip/test.sub" characterset="ISO8859-1"

You try to import a subtitle file as text, but .idx .sub file are not text based but raw dvd subtitles rip, with sub pictures.

If you want to import them as text you would have to convert them, that means using OCR in an automatic way, not really recommended.

Apparently spumuix don't support .idx .sub files.

You can try to remux the mpeg stream with encode2mpeg ( http://encode2mpeg.sourceforge.net ).

-vobsubsrc mysubsfilenamewithoutextension -addsub copy

You can use encode2mpeg to author your dvd too, instead of using dvdauthor.

My 2 cents.

[linuxluemmel]

In fact that is normal ;)

You try to import a subtitle file as text, but .idx .sub file are not text based but raw dvd subtitles rip, with sub pictures.

My 2 cents.

After a search I also found out that spumux do not provides to mux native
subfiles .... thanks for the tip anyway ....

If I have 3 streams ....

1.) a mpeg2 stream
2.) a ac3 audio
3.) a native subtitlestream stream

I would not like to mux the stream (audio and video) and a few secounds later
to break out to muxed stream again to add subtitles ...

How do I mux (audio / video / subtitle ) them with encode2mpeg ?

In my opinion the documentation of the encode2mepg is a pice of crap ..

EDIT : it is not a pice of crap ... I should read it better ... I saw it .... RTFM still is very important
mea culpa mea culpa ... I have a new ugly unword ... subtitles ..... LOL

So the only transcode function inside 0.5c will be native mpeg2 / H2.264

divx -removed
vcd -> removed
svcd -> removed
ogg-vorbis -> removed

Ok only a 3 votes of possible 300 votes is a little low ....

Regards
Hans

[hotlobster]

I vote for a xvid transcoding too.

For those who want light files to be played on light computers, or xbox based setup.

VCD & SVCD are already stuff from the past , Ogg/Vorbis never succeed to be a scene format sso.

Mpeg2, H264 & Xvid should be sufficient. But i think Xvid is a must have as it's still the biggest scene standard ( not for so long i know ... ).

& I'd love to have possibiliy to decss for the country who have rights to use it.

100 % ACK .... yes ... you 're right ....

For someone with a old comuputer h264 is not the right choice ...

and all this vcd and svcd is past ...

remains divx as a alternate transocde .

I still have problems with the multiplexing of the subtitles into the mpeg.
Do I guess right, that if the name of the subtitle file is exact the same as
the movie xbmc can handle it ?

The vlc player can load the subtitle files I extracted from a movie.

If xbmc can handle the subtitle files ... Why we need the subtitle files
to be muxed into the mpeg2 stream ?

Yes .. this subtitle thing transcodes my hairs to gray .... :shocked:

I for one do not need subtitles ....but I do it because I was feature request
witch make sense ...


Regards ....
Hans

If I have next week only gray hairs .... my WAF has to talk to you all .-)
Or how I would say in german . "Dann habt ihr aber ein echtes Problem .-) LOL "
or forget about hail storms ...

Inside switzerland we had one yesterday ....

[hotlobster]

You're true saying that it shoud be sufficient to have the .idx .sub file in the same folder as the video file, with the same name. It works ok without problem with any avi.kv.mov,.mpeg etc.

But for your DVD mastering/requantizing stuff, you will need to have the sub mastered inside the iso ( or how your player will know when to start subs with thos animated menu, and bonus videos ? ).


So only for mpeg2 video remastered in iso dvd, you will need to remus sub in the stream. For mkv it's not a big deal, If people really ant encapsulated subs in mkv, they can do it easily with mkvmerge.

The week-end is coming, perhaps i will have some time to help you with this issue. What problem do you encounter in remuxing mpeg2 with sub files ?

Can you post me some commandline you tried and where you're locked ?

Cheers.

[hotlobster]

Mhh I answer myself about keeping external sub as i said stupid things. :sniffle:
I thought your mpeg2 export was in dvd format, and requantized to feet in a 4.5dvd for ex.


As it's not the case, there's no interest to remux the subs in the mpeg file.

edt: About using SSH to launch commands on localhost, why not using "at" command to start scripts outside xbmc process ?
Or using "screen" if you prefer ?
It should be more proper than creating a user without using keys ( i use auth with private key for sshd ) for localhost only ?

That would give us a command like this:

/usr/bin/at now -f /usr/bin/yourcommand

or with screen:

screen -d -m -S dvd-ripper yourscript yourscriptargs

( -d will reattach a former dvd-ripper screen if there is one not closed, but when your script dies, it should close the screen session too )

As long you wont only to play the mpeg2 local on the xbmc system it is enough to have
the subtitles with the same name like the movie ...
Ok I do not longer try to multiplex the subfile into the mpeg2 stream ....

If you select to transcode a subtitle the native sub / idx file has the same name like
the export name ....


Yes ... there a inside the python script a lot of ways to start the script

- Over at now ~/dvdrip.sh p1 p2 p3
- or with screen
- or wihtout any python script by hand
- or with ssh
- witch cron


But I would like to have a solution witch do work over the network ... I do this way on
my home sytem ....

I have 2 dvd-roms inside ... I can force a command like user@10.0.1.10 ~/dvdrip.sh /dev/sr0 /dvdrip iso-1.iso

and 10 secounds later user@10.0.1.10 ~/dvdrip.sh /dev/sr1 /dvdrip iso-2.iso

in later version of the scripts I would like to send the dd output over a pipe

rip it local and set it to a remote maschine and vice versa

and of course I allready made a ssh key for the remote ssh-server under witch the xbmc system is running.

I will try to puplish 0.5C at monday ... I still have a lot work because the school at witch
I teach begins in 2 weeks again ... My students should also have some documents
and a few nice scripts .... not only the xbmc community ....

Best regards

It looks good now.

You can expect to burn a iso file with 0.5C within the next days.

Let us make example.

1.) You rip a dvd an save it to the folder /dvdrip

2.) In the transcode screen will be a option "Transcode to iso-image"

3.) Depend on the size of the iso it will be called burning_ss.01 or
burning_ds.01

4.) Go to main-screen and select Burn iso-image ...

select the iso-file and execute

Pastebin from a very early stage of dvd2iso.sh .. but it shows in witch direction it comes ...

http://www.pastebin.ch/2674

remember it is alpha script .... I could may finsh 0.5C soon ...

I know burning is the most wanted feature for all of you ...

Regards
Hans

[linuxluemmel]

Hello to all ;-)

The new release 0.5c is allmost ready ...

- Gui for the settings has to be finished
- All scripts has ben rewriten and tested
- Generating ISO images is working

Before the above things be made .. I need testers with ntsc dvd's

All the burning tests I made was with pal material ...

I don't have any ntsc dvd's therefore I can not test the new script dvd2iso.sh

Today I could make a testsrcript.rar in witch the 2 scripts are placed.
If someone with ntscs dvd's could make a test would be fine ....

the script dvd2iso.sh is a new script ...

- As source a dvd-device or a allready ripped iso-file could be used
- All chapter points from the dvd remain intact
- Up to 2 audio-tracks could be added
- Up to 1 subtitle track could be added
- Inside the rip-directrory a subdirectory is created.
- I do not upscale the video or audio tracks ... (they are 1:1)
- All the steps to produce the iso-file are automated (dvdauthotr,mkisofs)

I did a few test .... and if select one audio and one subtitle the
generated iso fits perfectly on a single layer dvd.

By this tests I saw that if I add a secound audio-track the generated
iso-image was 90 mb to big for a single layer dvd.

I guess most of you can overburn a standart single dvd a little bit more
than the offical cap. with 4.7GB


In the evening I make the download of testsrcript.rar to test with
ntsc material.

the script is called like follows.


./dvd2iso.sh /dvdrip/alien.iso /dvdrip 1 0 -a 3 -s 0

p1. Device or ripp-file
p2 Directory
p3 Title select 1..x
p4 Audio select 0 ...x

p5 p6 -a 3 secound audio language

or

p7 p8 -s 0 subtitle select

Hans

This depends a lot on which DVD ur ripping. I have a lot DVDs that are much smaller then 4GB (with more then 1 Audio). But then I have some that are 7GB (with 1 Audio).

[linuxluemmel]

Ok the script for testing is here

http://luemmels-dvd-ripper.googlecode.com/files/testscript.rar

Please do copy both files to your home directory and make them executable

You have to install

dvdauthor
mkisofs
subtitleripper

Please make a few tests that the included script encode2mpeg
also do encode ntsc dvds (Standart without an paramter would be pal ...)

Regards
hans

Luemmels. everything is looking good with this script. Not to get you off the subject entirely, but in the future do see your script at being able to rip blu-ray to its native .m2ts file? I know you can do it with AnyDVD HD and was wondering if yours would soon be able to as well. Thanks, keep up the awesomeness.

Well ... so you tested the script with ntsc dvd ... ok expect 0.5C in the next days ...

Well , in the future plans I see that my script could rip blue-ray ... to h264 ...
Native blue ray would need to mutch space .... 10 movies and your hd would be filled ..

But rembember ,,,, my little project that I started at june 2009 ist still beta ....
it is ugly ... it may works ... and in the near future there is may a release far away from beta

Regards
hans

[linuxluemmel]

hello to all .-=)

After the confirmation that the script dvd2iso.sh is working fine I would like
to integrate burning this isos ...

What size should I use for a single layer dvd ..... ?


The exact size in bytes ..... 47........... bytes ?

Or should I add the paramter to overburn ... ?

The question is how many bytes could most of you overburn without any problem ?

If I do set the size of the overburn size to big .... There is may a damaged dvd-burner ....

Regards
Hans

[blittan]

if you use dvd-r you should be fine with almost all isos.

[Rardgerard]

Well , in the future plans I see that my script could rip blue-ray ... to h264 ...
Native blue ray would need to mutch space .... 10 movies and your hd would be filled ..

I totally agree with that with size of a blu-ray you would need to compress to h264 or maybe mkv?


But rembember ,,,, my little project that I started at june 2009 ist still beta ....
it is ugly ... it may works ... and in the near future there is may a release far away from beta

First off I think that you are doing great since you just started this script in June. The rest is kinda of hard for me to understand. Are you trying to say that you are close to having a script out that is far better than the Beta version?

Many thanks .-)

Yes .... In the moment I call my build 0.5c but there are so many changes since
the last release I think about to rename it not longer Beta .... Release RC 1

* All settings are stored inside a configuration file
* Transcoding up to 2 audio languages and one subtitle
* Generating a iso ready to burn is working properly
* Allmost all shell scripts are allmost rewritten from the ground.
* All directory and file selection text-boxes has replaced by native
xbmc selection-boxes ....

Things to do in the next days ....

1.) Survive 1. august ... This date is national-day for switzerland ....
And I do normaly drink a lot of beer .... LOL :) and my wife has a so called
drinking problem ,--) ;LOL

2.) write and integrate a iso2disk.sh script
3.) test all settings and scripts again ....
4.) Replace string 0.5C with 0.5F beause allmost anything has changed ...
5.) Puplish 0.5F in englisch and german

The french and spanish release comes 2-3 days later .....
I may speek very good french and spanisch but I don't like to translate
them at my own .... (the same nightmare like my written english)
The translations are made by members of this forum.

regards Hans

[linuxluemmel]

Hello anyone ;-)

Ok in here is the release 0.5F for linux (english only)

http://luemmels-dvd-ripper.googlecode.com/files/dvd-red-linux-0.5F.tar

readme for 0.5F

http://code.google.com/p/luemmels-dvd-ripper/wiki/Redpill05F

The languages German / French / Spain coming soon also....

In my opinion this release is a great milestone .....

- Yes it can burn iso-files
- Yes , all settings are stored inside a configuration file
- It has 2 modes of operation (confirmed or with default values)
- I removed vcd / svcd and ogg-vorbis from the transcode menu
- for transcoding up to 2 audio languages and one subtitle can be selected

After starting the script the first time you have to adapt the settings..

Goto settings and change the settings to your needs

* 0 dvd-device
* 1 rip-directory
* 2 transcode directory
* 3 ssh user@localhost
* 4 default 1. audio language
* 5 default 2. audio language or none
* 6 default subtitle or none
* 7 Default Menu Entry for transcoding
* 8 default size single side dvd

you can change the settings over the script or with a editor

AND DO NOT FORGET TO COPY ALL SCRIPTS TO YOUR HOME-DIRECTORY
AND MAKE THEM EXECUTABLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On important thing about burning :

I only tested iso witch where generated over the transcode screen.
I did not test directly burn a ripped iso because inside switzerland
this dual layer dvd's are so expensive ....

And yes ... this iso-generating shell-script needs a lot space ...


Regards
Hans

BTW : I survived national-day yesterday ... :-)

[flobbes]

Why isnt it possible to leave the shell-scripts in the script/ssh folder?

Im not so happy about so many files in my home dir.

Grats for surviving and already up and going again :)

[patito]

damn... no windows version .... hopefully soon ;)

[linuxluemmel]

damn... no windows version .... hopefully soon ;)

If I reach version 0.5G on the red-pill I do work on the blue pill to the same
level if possible. (There are may functions that I do not code for Windows)

The main problem with the blue-pill is a os called windows ....

It is IMHO a limited OS.... because ....

- there is no transcode. It may works with vlc ?
- there is no encode2mpeg.sh
- no awk
- no lsdvd
- no dvdauthor
- ps -axu | grep $1 > tmp.001
- all this little tools -> a nice operating-system should have are not
inside windows (even dd ist no part of the os)

I don't wont to start a os-war inside this forum ... This is my point of view...

Hans

Yes ... You're right ... I can leave the scripts inside the ssh directory and
call them with a longer path .

I the next release 0.5G the scripts remaining in the ssh directory.
Thanks for the feedback ....

Is there anyone out there who is using 0.5F ?
Does the burning part work for you ?
Has anyone burned a ripped-iso with the script ?
I did not test this because the price of dual-layer dvd inside switzerland
is very high. (7-8 Euro)

Regards Hans

[linuxluemmel]

Hello to all .-)

In the moment I do work for the release 0.5G for linux

Yes I promised to work for the blue pill after 0.5G ...

This are the main features witch I do (try to ...) integrate into the new release

* All scripts will be called from ssh-directory and not longer from the home-directory
* ripping to a remote network-xbmc or from a remote xbmc system should work
* The communicaton will be made with netcat
* Streaming to network over vlc
* I guess 2-3 weeks are the timeline for the new release.

What about 0.5F ?

I don't have any feedback ....

Besta regards from a land where the rain never stops ....
(It only rains at the weekends ... :no: )

Hello ;-)

There is a bug in transcoding from device to other formats with default value ....
Fix it soon ...

I wonna make a interim release 0.5G with this error fixed
and all scripts are called inside the ssh directory ....

[linuxluemmel]

Hello to all.)

http://luemmels-dvd-ripper.googlecode.com/files/dvd-red-linux-0.5G.tar

Ok this uggly bug was fixed in this release .....
Here are the changes from the changelog :

08/08/09 0.5G We

- german resource file added
- script iso2disk.sh was not executable
- Off by one failure with audio-language (default)
- Show Error if default audio language is not found
- Show Error if secound audio language is not found
- Show Error if subtitle language is not found
- String ID 33066 for error-box added
- Search argument for pid dvd2mpeg2.sh was wrong
- Sleep-time after starting dvd2h264.sh was to short
therefore the start-window was not displayed


Ok in this release I did not changed the scripts. If you allready installed 0.5F you don't
need to copy the scripts to the home-folder.

All you need to do is to replace the python-file (default.py) and all directorys without the config directory.
If you replace the config-directory you have to change the settings again.

In the next comming release 0.5H all scripts are called from inside the ssh directory.


Happy ripping and burning
Hans

My translators did not send back the translations for spain and french ....
here would be the strings.xml to translate ....
If I would try to translate them with my poor writen spain and french skill ... I guess the result would be funny ...
I speak the 2 above languages very good .. but not writing .... (LOL result would be a typo desaster ;-)

I'm having all sorts of troubles trying to get 0.5G working - as a proof of concept, of course. It would be illegal to use it where I am.

Could somebody write an 'idiot's how-to' for jaunty? I seem to have everything installed but it just doesn't work.

Many thanks in advance..

As a proof of concept I would insert the dvd called "Catch me if you can"
this is the best concept dvd I found on the internet..

Install all the scripts from the ssh-folder to your home directory
make them executable

chmod +x dvd2*; chmod +x iso2*

After you start the script you have to adapt your settings
ssh command / dvd-device / rip-directory / transcode-directory

and very importand :
Creat a ssh-key for your user and do a test login to see that ssh is
working proberly. If this is working you can make a test with a single
script. I would make the tests with dvdripp.sh

OK.. so it turns out I just needed to install mencoder.

Seems to be working... I'll test it when I get home from work :o)

Thanks!

[Pete_London]

I had a quick look before I left and the preview file was just green.

Any ideas?

[linuxluemmel]

I had a quick look before I left and the preview file was just green.

Any ideas?

Ok I never saw this ....

What Linux-System do you use ?
Are you using at least transcode 1.07 ?
I could send you a list of my versions of all

- libdvdread
- ffmpeg

Ok as it seems the preview is made ....
Do you have a iso file if you rip ??

Or is the rip only a few mb long ... this would indicate a problem
with libdvdcss

Do you use a transcode version witch is not linked against libdvdcss ?

I'm sure we find a way to make your proof of concept workable ... LOL

Greetings from the land of rain.

OK.. am about to get stuck into getting this working... and it's okay because the system will be based in Spain.

The ISO is only 4.5MB so you've given me ideas to look at.

Will try what you've said and reply again soon.

Hello pete

As I see you are using transcode 1.07 ... this is good .)

But the message

Can't open the title 1 info file.

Indicates a problem ....

Could you use a lsdvd -a /dev/sr0 or as a alnternativr lsdvd -a /dev/dvd

Get you any error from the above commands ?

On my workstation I did ....

user@user-laptop:~$ dpkg -l | grep libdvd

Do you also have a Ubuntu based System ?

[Pete_London]

OK... turns out I didn't have lsdvd installed... and yes.. I'm running the latest ubuntu.

Ok ... LOL you're welcome anytime with your proof of concept ;-=
Jon

BTW lsdvd was not in the list of sofware to install ?
OK I did changed the list of software to install -> lsdvd is now included ....

In my mythbuntu system 9.04 it was not needed to install lsdvd ...
Thanks for the tip

[Pete_London]

Hi Jon,

I have not yet used the interface, but it seems to be working with a few points worth noting:

1. lsdvd says the english track is track 1 but your script needs it to be track 0. This resulted in an error when I tried to burn track 6 (track 7 not found) and in getting french (track 2) when I asked for track 1.

2. The DVD I am using transcodes to about 2GB in h264. Is there a way to optionally make this a bit smaller for older movies that don't look that great to begin with?

3. Can we place the transcoded movies into a network share that exists in xbmc without having to create a samba share from linux?

Thanks,

Pete

Hello.

I´ve tryed both scripts (04GBlued and 05GRed) on my Mythbuntu 9.04 machine. The blue one seems to work well in a sample DVD.

I have a problem with ssh configuration to run the red one. Following the readme file:

- ssh-keygen -t rsa: asks for a password twice and I leave it blank hiting Enter. Then says that the public key has been generated and shows a picture of dots and stars (kind of signature)

- ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub user@localhost (changin user by "my user"): asks about trusting localhost; I answer yes; says that localhost has been added to trusted hosts. Then it seems to make a connection; asks for the password; I hit Enter and says connection refused

- Testing ssh with "ssh user@localhost ./dvdrip.sh /dev/sr0 /dvdrip change-me.iso" (changin user by "my user"): it asks for the password; I hit Enter; it says thath it is a wrong password and disconnects.

Any idea about what may I be doing wrong?

Thank you.

hello Pete

1.) The scrip is right ... Indexes for the audio-languages do not start with 1
they start with 0 (transcode starts with index 0). The Indexes for
the titles of a dvd do start with 1.

2.) The transcode process to h264 is made with handbrake. As I remember
correctly there was a quality factor as a optional parameter to handbrake.

3.) No,sorry ! because the script only see the file-system of the linux itself
If you add a smb share to xbmc and this share is not mounted the script
doesn't see the remote filesystem.

Hans

[linuxluemmel]

Hello.

Any idea about what may I be doing wrong?

Thank you.

1.) Did it generate the ssh file in your home directory ~/.ssh
2.) Are you running the system with uid 0 / root ?
3.) Let us make a example ....

you created the ssh-key ...
you did copy the ssh-key

After this copy of the key the ssh-server deamon should never asking anymore for a password ...

you username is for example xbm
try :

ssh xbmc@localhost

and you should be inside your home-directory loged in wihtout any password.
Could you send the ssh-logs to a pastebin ?

Best regards
Hans

[Pete_London]

Thanks Hans..

I think I had another failure as I walked out the door to come to work... I'll be back on the case in 10 hours.

Cheers,

Pete

Problem with ssh solved.

The key was in the 2nd step. When I did "ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub user@localhost " I was prompted for a password. I thought it was the ssh password so I left it empty. Finally I realized that it was asking my user password in my PC.

When I entered the password, the key was copied and it worked as described.

May be you should add this in the readme so that no one makes the same mistake.

Thank you.

This will be written in the readme
Thanks for the feedback

On the point to copy the id .... you have to put in your own password ... because only after the ssh-key is copyd you
can login without a password ...

I guess you have a problem with ssh
If you can login without a password under your user ... all logs are written to the directory
if you can not login ... nothings is written because all log-files are written from the scripts....

Sorry to pressure you if I am.

Sorry to pressure you if I am.

I allready said that after release 0.5H I work for the blue-pill.

- Blue pill will have the folliowing

- All settings are stored in a configuration file
- You can burn iso
- 2 modes of operartion (confirmend / default values)
- Dialog-Boxes to select directorys

But one thing I do not implement inside the blue-pill for linxu and windows
(I wonna call it Version 0.5H)

- Transcode

Because this would bypass the css or remove the css and make the script
illegal in a few countrys (france as example)

Regards
Hans

PS : At first I would like to make the red-pill release 0.5H

[linuxluemmel]

Hi Jon, or is it Hans (or both?)

Everything works fine from the command line but nada happens from the XBMC interface... how do I find a log of what's going wrong? the ones in ~/dvdripper are empty.

Thanks,

Pete

Every command I send over the script is written in clear-text inside the python-window.
Open the script -> do some action
and close the script

Right-click with the mouse "Debug-mode" and you should see a lot messages
including the commands that are send over ssh


As you allready said that all scripts are working ... the error must be by ssh.
Could you make a ssh like ssh user@localhost without prompting for any password ?

Hans

Thanks I must of some how miss-read it. I also got your dd.exe file to work in windows tinkering around with the command that the script generates, but didn't seem to work directly from XBMC, which you already know. I just thought I'd pass that along.

Of course does it work ...
Jus play a few secounds of the movie inside xbmc and do exit.

After this you can call dd with the right commands inside a batch-file ..
the iso would be created.

I could do the following in the next release ....

In the moment the log file for any process in generated at at the start of
of the script with
> path-to-log
after this any log will be append with
>> path-to-log

If would create the log file with

ssh ....... > path-to-log &

and if for some reason the ssh command is not accepted you would see it inside
the logs ...

Hmm, I'll test that this evening. I thought I caught a brief mention of that earlier. I'll report back later. :grin:

Hi Jon,

Still getting no luck from the interface... I can ssh xbmc@localhost without being asked for a password, but when I try to transcode from the menu, the dvd drive light comes on for a second and then everything stops. The system just goes back to the dvd-red menu.

There's no log files generated. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Pete

Ok in the settings your user xbmc is written correct ? xbmc@localhost

Did you have a look in the debug-mode of the script to see the ssh-commands the script is generating ?

OK.. time to sound dumb... how do I do that?

Make a copy of default.py to default-py-red and insert the above function
with a editor of your choice .... the old function do please delete ....
I added a few lines of code for better error-handling

print 'command with will be executed ->' + command

This will print the ssh-command

Windows version let the disc run for a little bit and then tried and it more or less said it was running and then quit.

I know its not on your getting around to doing things with it at the moment just wanted to let you know what I've tried doesn't work at all in windows well at least for me running XP. The dd.exe file does directly, but not through XBMC.

Normaly this happens if the key to css is not open ....
Let me guess ... Your iso has a size of 5-6 MB and it is finished ....
Did you watch a few secounds of the movie ?
As long the door (css) is closed , the dd process can not copy the dvd.
At the moment you watch the movie , the door (css) is open wide and you can copy the dvd.
Aslong the door is not opened .... dd could not copy the dvd.
Under windows the scheduler service must be running to start the dd process.

It is a pleasure to help poeple like you ;-)

BTW Has anybody out there tested the 2 scripts above ?
They do work over localhost and should also work over any
network connection ?

Thanks for testing

There is still a feedback form ....

PS :
What about to burning recorded shows to dvd from mythtv ????

[Rardgerard]

Are you able to select a drive on the network to rip the disc to as opposed to a local drive?

[linuxluemmel]

Are you able to select a drive on the network to rip the disc to as opposed to a local drive?

Yes ....

Of course ... You have a few options

1.) make the network drive permament ... make a entry inside fstab

2.) make a little change to my scripts .... do the mount inside the scripts...

The remote filesystem can be allmost anything ....

smb
cif
nfs
fuse

I would prefer 1.) over 2.)

I need some help. I read the instructions but still can't figure out how to get this thing working. I'm using Win XP sp3 and I installed the DD.exe.

My problem is installing the script. I put the default.py file in the scripts directory but when I go to the scripts menu I don't see this script to run.

Also, i'm unclear about the value for the DVD ? If my dvd is G: what should I make this value?

1.) Weclcome to the xbmc forum :-)

2.) There is a section insde FAQ on http://www.xbmc.org how to install scripts properly

3.) The dd needs to be installed inside C:\Windows\system32

4.) try dd --list to show the values for your dvd-drive

5.) The scheduler-service on windows hase to be running or my script makes nothing

6.) Everey DVD you would like to rip has to be viewed .... a few secounds long.

hello to all ;-)

Hello ;-

There are some important notes on my script :

- If your Linux-Box automaticly mount inserted dvds disable this behavior.
If the dvd is in use mounted the command dd will not start proberly ....

- As soon the Job could be killed signal -9 over the script I post the new version
0.1C

- Should now running on Mac too ...

CU Hans

Do I guess right you are a MacUser ?
I removed the MacPart since version 0.3

I had none feedback (for Mac) about :

- that dd is working to copy a dvd
- that a mac has ssh client and server
- The dvd-device name for a mac
- The directory-structure about mac
- That a part of the scripts do run on mac (should they run ?)

That's the reason I completly removed the mac-part from the source.


The plue-pill (for linux and windows) has version 0.4G

The red-pill (only for linux) has version 0.5G

Release 0.1C was not more than a concept-study of me. (not even beta)

Regards
Hans

[Budha]

Really really cool program, exactly what i was looking for. Would be super great if you could implement support for blue ray =)
keep up the good work



Well ... so you tested the script with ntsc dvd ... ok expect 0.5C in the next days ...

Well , in the future plans I see that my script could rip blue-ray ... to h264 ...
Native blue ray would need to mutch space .... 10 movies and your hd would be filled ..

But rembember ,,,, my little project that I started at june 2009 ist still beta ....
it is ugly ... it may works ... and in the near future there is may a release far away from beta

Regards
hans

[linuxluemmel]

Really really cool program, exactly what i was looking for. Would be super great if you could implement support for blue ray =)
keep up the good work

Thanks for the roses ;-=)

I would like to implement this function but there are three reasons I can not make this
function in the moment.

1.) I don't own a blue-ray drive ... (ok I wonna buy a new notebook on christmas)
2.) I don't have any blue-ray disks to make a few tests ....
3.) I don't have any experience with blue-ray (this could change soon ,-) )

At first I would like to implement all functions (progress-bar/network-ripping/streaming) for dvd to version 0.5H (linux).
After that I do implement blue-pill version 0.5H (settings / burning )

Yes ... bluray is in the pipe ....

Happy rippings and greeting from switzerland ;-)
Hans

BTW : As many of you may saw that the progress-bar for local ripping is now working ....

Would you like to see also a progress-bar for the network-ripping part ?

[linuxluemmel]

This software is okay. But I much prefer Free DVD Ripper (http://www.free-star.org/free-dvd-ripper-freeware.html). It has more sets.

Yes could be.
But there a few things to be said.

1.) Welcome to the board
2.) Your ripper is may faster and have more options, but is it free ?

Where is the souce-code ?
What is the licence ? GPL ? Freeware ?
Happen to be you may work for http://www.free-star.org/blog/ ????

Ok this is a Bug ...
rename the directory
/mnt/Storage/Vidéos/FILMS/DVD/
to
/mnt/Storage/Videos/FILMS/DVD/


and it should work .... it is the non asci-char é witch produces the error

I wonna try to fix error in version 0.5H

BTW Thanks for the feedback

Hello ;-)

I do still work release 0.5h on my free time (witch is spare)

I did a lot of changes and enhancements (changelog 0.5H until now)


08/11/09 0.5H We - Typo in the EULA fixed
- All log for ssh-communication will be written to
~/dvdripper/ssh.log
- Implement netcat functions to ripp over the network
- dvdmaster.sh and dvdslave.sh are shell-scripts
08/21/09 We - call all ssh scripts from the ssh-directory.
- multiple corrections to the shell-scripts because
they are all started from a other place than home
- First part for a progress-bar is done. (dvd2size.sh)
- Added size parameter to function working_window
08/29/09 We - hide script until ripp is finished (inside menu).
- Added section for ssh inside README
- Added string-id 32040 - 32043 for english and german
- Logical Error removed .... If the dd script was killed
by hand or any other reason was not finished properly the
following files inside the home directory remains and
therefore the rip-menu comes not up longer to the screen.

RIPPING_STARTET
RIPPING_FILE
RIPPING_PREVIEW
RIPPING_SIZE

If the dd process is not running and the file are inside
the home directory ... the files are removed.
- RIPPING_PREVIEW was never deleted
- Ripping menu not longer showed if you killed the process or
showed progress-bar and the process was finished.
08/31/09 WE - Testing background process to monitor end of dd
(I know now how it not works very well ,-( )

09/05/09 WE - Try a diffrent thing because progress.bar still crash xbmc
Ok it works now ... not as a own progress.py (removed)

09/07/09 WE - Suspend rip-job / continue rip-job do work
- Progress-bar (local ripping) do works
- Prepare script for progress-bar (network ripping)
- settings port tcp for netcat communication
(only start-number of 5 ports)
- Added string 33067 for english and german
- dvdmaster.sh will have a timeout of 3 minutes
If no dvdslave.sh is connecting to the master it will
be killed from inside the script.
09/15/09 WE - send back progress state to a connected slave




The limits are :

- Do not use any Spaces or non-ascci chars inside the directory-names

Be patient ;-) I release it as soon it is ready ....
and If I survive the Müchner Oktoberfest ;-=)

[linuxluemmel]

Hello to all users ;-)

I had a feedback that in the release 0.5H inside the ssh-directory a script
is not included.

http://xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php?p=420274#post420274

The missing script is named dvdpreview.sh

I do repack version 0.5H with the file tonight.

Sorry ...

As a workaround do extract the file from the prior release 0.5G inside ssh-directory

Best regards
Hans

[linuxluemmel]

Hellot scripters

By my fault .... in the old 0.5H have been 2 scripts not the right one ....


Here is the corrected release ....
Version 0.5Ha

[linuxluemmel]

Hello scripters and users ;-)

As I saw on the project-side of my project there have been a few downloads
from the latest release.

I hope it works now ...

I do develop now 05.H for the blue-pill and 05.I fot the red-pill to the same time..

Any feedback would be nice ....

http://code.google.com/p/luemmels-dvd-ripper/wiki/Feedback

it was very hard to implement this network-ripping into the script including to make
the hole thing visible with a progress-bar.

Best regards
Hans

It seems to me nobody using the script ... only download and put it into trashcan ...

[linuxluemmel]

For all user of the blue-pill with linux

I made a very early alpha script 0.5H blue-pill witch do run as expected ...

1.) you need a running at daemon and the command dd and a few others (ps,kill,isoinfo)

http://luemmels-dvd-ripper.googlecode.com/files/dvd-blue-linux-only-no-windows-0.5H.tar

The windows part needs longer ... but it comes ...
But I need help for scripting ...

Hello users :-)

The blue bill 0.5H for windows and linux is allmost finished ....
I need some Beta-Testers ....
Who is willing to test it ? Expect it on weekend ... but not puplic ...

Compared to the old release 0.4G it has a few enhancements

* All Settings are stored inside a configuration file
* Confirmend and default ripping
* Progress bar
* Hide script until ripp is finished ...

Ok ... Is anyone out there who whould like to beta-test ?


From the red-pill side I have no feedback so I guess it works ....

I'm willing to test it. ;) Windows that is.

[linuxluemmel]

I'm willing to test it. ;) Windows that is.

Mhm ... I'm a little bit disappointet and upset !!

There are allmost 600 Downloads for the blue-pill and only one person
is willing test the new release for windows ?


and by the way there are 12 Downloads for the alpha blue 0.5H ....

no feedback .....


There are at least over 30 Downloads of the new red-pill 0.5Ha ....

no feedback .....


How should I develop a script wihtout any feedback ?
I do not command you to give feedback ... but from my point of view
I do talk to wall ...

Regards

Would it be possible that when you get to the point where it asks "where would you like the rip to be saved" that all the predefined "video" source folders in XBMC can be offered up as an option instead of having to type in the location every time?

Allready done ... If you rip in default mode it stores the rip inside
the directory witch is stored inside the configuration ....

If you rip in confirmend mode ... you must set the directory over a file-dialog.

Hans,

Is that just the linux version? (I'm using windows).

The dvd-blue was lastu updated on Jun 22 according to your page.


Lets say I have 3 video sources defined in XBMC.

TV Shows
Movies
Videos

It would be nice if your script asked "which source would you like to save the rip to" and you could just click the XBMC source where you want the file saved.

[Fiasco]

Here is what I did to your script to achieve the result I'm talking about.

As you can see I manually added my video sources to the dvd-blue script. It would be nice if the script could query XBMC and add the video shares automatically.


# Ask for Directory
dialog = xbmcgui.Dialog()
choice = dialog.select("Where Should The Video Be Saved?" , [ "Movies", "Videos", "TV Shows", "Choose Directory" ])
if (choice == 0):
DVD_dir = "Z:\\Movies"
if (choice == 1):
DVD_dir = "Z:\\Videos"
if (choice == 2):
DVD_dir = "Z:\\TV Shows"
if (choice == 3):
kb = xbmc.Keyboard('default', 'heading', True)
kb.setDefault(dvd_dir)
kb.setHeading(__language__(32002))
kb.setHiddenInput(False)
kb.doModal()
if (kb.isConfirmed()):
DVD_dir = kb.getText()
else:
return(1)

kb.setHeading(__language__(32002))
kb.setHiddenInput(False)
kb.doModal()
if (kb.isConfirmed()):
DVD_dir = kb.getText()
else:
return(1)


Sorry by now in the release 0.5H is one default directory written inside
the configuration file.
If you chose to rip in confirmed mode you can chose any directory you wish ...

Regards
Hans

[Fiasco]

I was playing around with the script some more and noticed something.

When I execute the script and write to a hard drive on the PC running the script it works fine. If I try to write to a mapped network drive it doesn't work. It executes the command but nothing is ever written to the mapped network drive.

If I comment out this line (where you add the At and time function to the command string)

# command = 'at ' + str(hh) + ':' + str(mm) + ' %WINDIR%\\SYSTEM32\\' + command

It will write to the network drive.

Any thoughts as to why that happens?

[linuxluemmel]

Hello to windows users of blue-pill ,-)

I have created the batch-files for windows release 0.5h.
By now I need to know that the scripts are working

1.) Download the test-script

http://luemmels-dvd-ripper.googlecode.com/files/batch-files-windows-05h.zip

3.) Unpack the files to c:\test-script
2.) open a terminal
3.) mkdir %windir%\dvdripper
4.)
open testblue.cmd and replace d:\dvdrip with your own rip-place
open testvol.cmd and replace the F: with the drive-Letter of your dvd.
5.) Inside the directory are 2 files to test
6.) Insert a dvd and look a few secounds of the movie
7.) execute testvol.cmd -> It should resturn the name of the dvd
execute testblue.cmd -> It should start the ripp process with dd
and write a few files inside %windir%

I would like to hear .. that the scripts do work with
- windows xp ?
- vista `?
and may windows 7 ?

On a german windows xp with sp3 they run well ....

Feedback would be nice..
Without confirmation I do not release 0.5H for windows.

[linuxluemmel]

I had one single feedback ....

That my script is not running on a svn build for linux ...

Is that true ?

Could this be confirmed ?
Hans

[Fiasco]

I got file not found on the blue-pill link.

[linuxluemmel]

I got file not found on the blue-pill link.

Thats , correct

After 39 Downloads and no feedback I decidet to delete the file ...
If I ask for Feedback (this means any kind ... good or bad) and nothing cames back to me, the script must be useless or not working.
This is not the way the spirit of Open-Source is working.
I do not command to give feedback but a single email or a little
posting inside the forum would be enough...

You posted it on a Saturday in the evening and took it down before Monday morning.

What did you expect?

[kizer]

I didn't even know it was up. I had word that it might be up this weekend, but honestly I didn't check this thread and I guess I missed it. :sad:

[linuxluemmel]

For those of you that have password from me .....

http://luemmels-dvd-ripper.googlecode.com/files/NOT-PUPLIC-BETA-002-dvd-blue-windows-linux-0.6A.zip

the blue-pill and red-pill

This is not a puplic release ....
The public release 0.6A for the red-pill / blue-pill comes on the weekend.

regards
Hans

[linuxluemmel]

Hello to all testers ....

If youd would like to test the blue-pill for Linux ..... there is a little bug....
As I created the zip-file under windows .... I was not aware that winzip
knows nothing about rights (x) under linux ....

Please go the linux-shell directory and type ...
chmod +x *
And the release is working ...

The final release will be packed with tar .... under linux ....

[linuxluemmel]

Ok the final Release 0.6B for the red-pill and blue-pill is finished .....
I changed on both releases small code-parts and now they are allmost identical.

What is common in both (red and blue pill)

* All settings are stored in configuration file
* Using the same rescource-files for languages
* Supported languages are English / German and French
* Show a progress-bar for local rips
* The script can be run minimized until a ripp is finished
* Rips can be suspendet and later be continued (Runs only on Linux)
* The dvd-name will be used inside the script

If I dont receive any feedback from the testers I guess the scripts
are working like expected.
In this case the release will be puplic on saturday or sunday.

The script will not longer be a beta -> It 's Release Candidate 1

What are enhanced features of the red-pill compared to the blue ?

* Ripping to the network (Master / Slave)
* Transcode dvd to native mpeg2 / divx / h264 / iso
* Burning transcoded iso's to dvd
* Check to see if all required software is installed

Anyone who would like to see the script in other native language could
donwload this strings.xmls (english) and send back the translation to me.

name for the language.

Hi Hans,
in resources/language/ you put the french string.xml in the "France" folder. Should probably better be /french no?

I'll check the 6b this weekend even that I already ripped all my DVDs with 0.5h ;-) )

OK thanks for the feedback ... I guess this was my fault.
I do repack both packages (blue and red() with the resource-folder called /french.

Confirmend -> Resource-Folder should be /French

I also do include polish inside the resource-directory.

The following entry has spaces inside the name and is not qoted with "


C:\Documents and Settings\Travis\Application Data\XBMC\scripts\dvd-blue\windows-shell\hstart /NOCONSOLE


Because this the application hstart.exe is never executed ....


"C:\Documents and Settings\Travis\Application Data\XBMC\scripts\dvd-blue\windows-shell\hstart"


Try first to watch the dvd a few secounds long ... and after this do do starte volname.cmd and
blue.cmd from the commandline

I have gotten transcoding to work using HandBreakCLI. You can just name your file your ripping. If anyone is interested let me know and I can send you my files.

I dont see the meaning of this post ...

My ripper script is using handbrake and the programm is included



Following external gpl-software is used inside my script and is included. There is no need to install them seperate.

* http://handbrake.fr (For transcoding dvd to h264)
* http://encode2mpeg.sourceforge.net/encode2mpeg.html (For the creation of dvd-iso's)
* http://unxutils.sourceforge.net (Used inside the batches for Windows)

[linuxluemmel]

I guess there is a issue if you run version 0.6B for Windows and
you store the scripts inside your home directory (C:\Documents and Settings)


Do change the following lines inside the script


Line 814 default.py

complet_command = spath + '\\hstart /NOCONSOLE /D="' + spath + '" "cmd.exe /c "' + spath + '\\blue.cmd ' + device + ' ' + directory + ' ' + name + ' ' + spath + '""'


to


complet_command = '"' + spath + '\\hstart" /NOCONSOLE /D="' + spath + '" "cmd.exe /c "' + spath + '\\blue.cmd ' + device + ' ' + directory + ' ' + name + ' ' + spath + '""'



Line 899 to

check_command = '"' + spath + '\\hstart" /NOCONSOLE /D="' + spath + '" "cmd.exe /c "' + spath + '\\ddrun.cmd ' + spath + '""'




If you do run the scripts inside a path witch doesn't contains " " all
should work like expected ....

Somebody please ban this spambot ;)

[Mike34]

Just wanted to say what a great script this is, every new dvd i get now i just run this script on one of my xbmc's and then store the dvd away never needing it again.
:grin:
I do not know much about the handbrake options so can anyone tell me what to change in the script so it will transcode to H264 with AC3 sound intact? ???
