 Mplayer was also very useful in extracting audio (AC3) and video (MPEG2) from a badly encoded DVD, see **[[dvd_ifo_errors]]**.

 ==== How to extract subtitles from a DVD-Video into VobSub format ====

+**A better way to convert DVD-Video subtitles** into VobSub format is to use **[[ripping_dvds_with_mencoder#subtitles|transcode]]**.
 This is because mencoder seems to produce different image data into the ''**.sub**'' file and slightly different timestamps into the index (''**.idx**'') file depending on the used video codec (''-ovc'' option): strange enough, I got different outputs using //copy// and //raw// options. Transcode instead seems to be more deterministic.

+==== Ripping a DVD with mplayer ====
+Sometimes trascoding a video DVD with **''avidemux''** (my favourite transcoding program) does not give correct results. I transcode the VOB files directly from the DVD, but the resulting video gets the multi-angle scenes interlaced. I think that the problem aroses from ''avidemux'' not being able to cope with [[wp>DVD-Video#Chapters_and_angles|DVD multi-angle scenes]].
+**''mplayer''** instead plays the video correctly, so I use ''mplayer'' to extract a MPEG stream, and then I user ''avidemux'' to transcode.
+First of all, we can play a DVD track from an .iso image mounted with the loop option. In this example we play track #27, using audio track ID 130 and no subtitles:
+<code>
+mount -o loop,ro dvdimage.iso /media/cdrom
+mplayer dvd://27//media/cdrom -aid 130 -nosub
+</code>
+With this command we will dump track #27 to a raw compressed file, the file will contains all the audio tracks and subtitles:
+<code>
+mplayer dvd://27//media/cdrom -dumpstream -dumpfile dvd_track_27.vob
+</code>
+The dumped file can be played with ''mplayer'' or opened (and transcoded in XviD/mp3) with **''avidemux''**.
