 ==== 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 [[transcode#how_to_extract_subtitles_from_a_dvd-video_into_vobsub_format|transcode]].
+**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 ====
-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 subtitle:
+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.
