[Ffmpeg-devel] Encoding files for iPod from VOB

[Anthony N. Frasso]

Thanks for your help in advance.

My goal for the last month or so has been to take
several of my DVDs and rip them to files that I can
view on my iPod.  I've been successful in getting the
VOB files, but whether it's QuickTime Pro, mencoder or
ffmpeg, I just haven't seemed to be successful thus
far in encoding the mp4 or m4v files necessary to view
it on the iPod.

In any case, I was able to successfully download from
cvs and build ffmpeg last night.  However, it seems
unable to decode the VOB files:

$ ffmpeg -i test1.vob -f avi test1.avi

Stream mapping:

Is there something I am doing wrong?  Is there
additional software I need to have?  From the
documentation, it seems ffmpeg should be able to
decode VOB files.

Please let me know if there is any additional
information I need to supply, and I will be happy to
do so.

Thanks for your help,
Anthony Frasso
