converting DVD to mkv using CUDA

Post by TauTau » Wed Nov 04, 2009 12:14 am

Hi,

I have some DVDs containig episodes, so I want to keep the chapters. MKV with h.264 can do that as far as I know, and MediaCoder lets me do that with my .iso files when I select 264 as encoder. However, when I try to use CUDA (I have a GTX295 so this would be a plus I guess), it tells me that my input file is wrong (gives me a error 14+15). Can't this be done using CUDA?

That's exactly what I have thought.
Speaking about your issue, I think that the problem has to be with the fact that DVD decoding can't be done through CUDA, as CUDA is theoriticaly only able to decode AVC or VC1, so far I understand. But I might be wrong. :?

What about this approach:
a) rip DVD to harddisk using DVD Decrypter in IFO-Mode
Under settings of DVD Decrypter check "OGG chapter format"

b) demux your vobs with whatever method

c1) convert video with Mediacoder / CUDA codec
c2) convert selected audio streams to whatever format you like

d) mux all streams and chapter-file with whatever mkv muxer

For me this works...
cheers
