svcd in gentoo linux
the midterms are in full swing. and so far, i’ve finished taking exams in three subjects out of four in one day. i’m free this tuesday and wednesday which will give me more than enough time to brush up for my computer graphics class exam come thursday. as a special treat to myself and to my friend grainne, i plan to transfer some movie files im keeping in my hard disk so we can watch them the week after the midterms. they’re of good quality, but watching via computer isn’t particularly exciting as grainne told me. unless you have one of them 5.1 speaker system and a 21 inch computer screen. but those are rare luxuries here in my city.
so the plan was to make a vcd out of those files. now, i’m one of those few (i guess) who don’t keep kde around. as such, i don’t have the necessary libs for k3b. heck, i don’t even have the full gnome suite installed. only the necessary libs like gtk and stuff. just for survival.
here’s what i did:
1) fetch some ebuilds and placed them in my overlay
2) emerged ffmpeg vcdimager cdrdao
3) converted the avis to mpeg (ffmpeg)
4) made a vcd image out of the mpeg (vcdimager)
5) lastly, burn the bin to the cd.
i’m presently enjoying disc 1 of rurouni kenshin oav on our cheap cd/dvd player. :p
Nice one!! keep it up!
