Did some more playing around, and I found I really hated the audio in the recommended encoding, so this is what I came up with:
mencoder dvd://1 -aid 128 -srate 48000 -vop scale=400:300 -o /home/david/movies/zaurus/Transformers_Z2.avi -oac mp3lame -lameopts preset=96:mode=0:vol=8 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vhq:vbitrate=175:autoaspect -ofps 15 -sws 2
The preset=96 gives you 96kbps audio MP3, and the mode=0 gives you true stereo. The file size is not too bad, less than 200 meg, and it can stream over my wireless 802.11b network. Time to get a bigger compact flash card.
Bush Kerry Debate
Watched the town hall debate last night and came to the following conclusions:
Bush’s whole camapign is based on more of the same, keep on the same course. The problem is that the last 4 years have sucked ass. I don’t know what Bush is talking about, the economy still sucks, we are still at war in a country we shouldn’t be in, and he has done nothing to slow global warming, and hundreds of other things. These things matter to me, and they aren’t gettig fixed. At least Kerry is a change. More of the same will wreck this country.
