Scripts for archiving media

Scripts:

• archive-dvd : Create an iso image from a DVD.
• alltitles : Extract titles/chapters from a DVD.
• auto.sh : Used to transcode titles/chapters extracted by alltitles
• remux.sh : Re-arranges MKV streams

archive-dvd

This script uses vobcopy and mkisofs to create an ISO file. Just run the script and insert a DVD, you will get an ISO file in return.

alltitles

Usage:

[option_vars] sh alltitles [chapter]

Option vars:

• drive=[device-path] defaults to /dev/sr0
• titles="01 02 03 ..." defaults to all titles in DVD (as listed by lsdvd)
  You can also specify titles as:
  title="01,1-4 01,5-8"
  This will create two files, one with track 1, chaptes one trough four (inclusive) and another one with track 1, chapters five through eigth (inclusive)

Command options:

chapter: Leave blank for all chapters, otherwise:

-chapter <start_chapter>[-<end_chapter>]

Will dump starting from <start_chapter> until <end_chapter>. (or end) If you only want to extract chapter 7 by itself, use -chapter 7-7

auto.sh

Usage:

sh $0 [options] <vob files>

vob files must be the ones extracted from alltitles.

Options:

• --preview|-p : Only encode 30 seconds from 4 minutes in
• --copy|-c : Do only copy
• --interlace|-i : Force interlace filter
• --no-interlace|+i : Disables interlace filter

remux.sh

Re-arranges MKV streams so that the preferred language (eng) is first so it is used as default.
