[QUOTE="-Manfred-, post: 489146, member: 50850"] All of you struckling with mencoder ripping follow this. Note that some steps are meant for one time checking only just to make sure everything is correctly set up. Steps: #1 Install AnyDVD. This is very important as mencoder can only handle css and nothing else. Trial version can be used to try encoding. Do not select 'Remove annoying adverts and trailers' in DVD navigation settings. #2 Install mplayer and mencoder to same folder. Mplayer is needed to detect crop settings. Link can be found from first post. #3 MediaSlayer plugin settings for mencoder can be left to default. Select advanced GUI and disable cover art grabbing. Check your drive selection. #4 Enable debug mode for logs from MP configuration (general - log verbosity: debug). #5 Insert normal movie DVD, not series, to drive and check from AnyDVD status that it is correctly detected and decrypted. #6 Start MP and go to MediaSlayer #7 Click start ripping button. All should go fine till end now. If ripping is stopped with error continue with next steps. #8 Open MediaPortal.log and find line starting with: MediaSlayer (Mpeg4-args): dvd://3 -dvd-device G:\ -sws 2 -oac copy... #9 Copy that line from dvd://... to end #10 Open command prompt and change path to mencoder folder #11 Type mencoder and paste that argument line and hit return. #12 Notice error and fix it.
