Encode VCD into .mpg

[chandru.in]

Hi,

I want to encode some of my VCDs into .mpg(MPEG format) files so that the videos r not lost due to CD damages. How do I do it? Even commandline methods are fine.

Re: Encode VCD into .mpg

mencoder vcd://<track> -o test.avi -oac <audio codec> -ovc <video codec>

Replace <audio codec> and <video codec> with help if you don't know which ones to use.

Kaffeine has a record button btw, I've just never used it.....

Mencoder command above works good, but there's GUI possiblities too:

Obviously, DVDRIP is one but can be complicated if you're unfamiliar w/ video processesing (Automatix can install it for you). Another one that I find straightforward is TOVID (it's not in the repo's so you'll have to google it) and it works great.
