+The output audio codec is ''**copy**'' because flv should be already in mp3 format, otherwise we can specify something like **''%%-oac mp3lame -lameopts br=96:cbr%%''**.
 An insanely complicated recipe will use **mplayer to extract** the video and audio streams, then use **transcode to convert** the video to XviD (two pass, 400 kbit):

 ===== How to extract subtitles from a DVD-Video into VobSub format =====
-**This seems to be the best method** to extract subtitles from a DVD-Video.
+See this paragraph: **[[ripping_dvds_with_mencoder#subtitles|Ripping DVDs with mencoder - Subtitles]]**.
-The same operation can be accomplished with [[mplayer#how_to_extract_subtitles_from_a_dvd-video_into_vobsub_format|mencoder]], but 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.
-[[glossary#vobsub|VobSub]] is a well known subtitle format that saves subtitles nearly in the same format as it appears in DVD subtitle streams. From a technical point of view, VobSub saves subtitles as little images.
-We can use ''mplayer'' to identify subtitle streams contained into the DVD, they are identified by an ID and a language:
-<code>
-mplayer -dvd-device $RIPDIR dvd://$TITLE -identify
-...
-ID_SUBTITLE_ID=0
-ID_SID_0_LANG=it
-ID_SUBTITLE_ID=1
-ID_SID_1_LANG=en
-ID_SUBTITLE_ID=2
-ID_SID_2_LANG=it
-...
-</code>
-In the following example you will extract subtitles from a DVD-Video using the ''transcode'' tools and the ''[[subtitleripper]]'' scripts. The subtitles will be saved into the [[glossary#vobsub|VobSub]] format. Two files will be generated: ''**vobsubs-en.idx**'' and ''**vobsubs-en.sub**''. In the example 0x21 is 0x20 + the subtitle ID:
-<code>
-tccat -i $RIPDIR -T $TITLE -L | tcextract -x ps1 -t vob -a 0x21 > subs-en
-subtitle2vobsub -o vobsubs-en -i $RIPDIR/VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_0.IFO < subs-en
-</code>
-The ''**tccat**'' command will concatenate all the files that compose the specified ''$TITLE'' to the standard output. Files are taken from the directory where the DVD-Video was ripped (''$RIPDIR'').
-The ''**tcextract**'' command extract the requested stream; //ps1// stands for MPEG private stream (subtitles), the source type (''-t vob'') must be specified when reading from standard input, the required track (''-a 0x21'') must also be specified.
-With [[subtitleripper]] you can convert VobSub subtitles into single .pgm images.
