AcidRip<\/a> hasn’t been updated in a long time.\u00a0 In fact, I’m not even sure anyone is maintaining it anymore.\u00a0 But I still use it quite a bit.\u00a0 Today I noticed, after an yum update for F10, that the previews just wouldn’t work anymore.\u00a0 So I looked at the debug window and found this was the line it was trying to run:<\/p>\n

mplayer -vo gl2 -ao sdl\u00a0 dvd:\/\/1 -dvd-device \/dev\/sr0 -alang English -chapter 3-3 -frames 10 -sstep 5 -nocache -vf crop=0:0:0:0,scale=261:-2 -wid 67109117<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Running mplayer with the -vo<\/em> and -ao<\/em> options is something I configured in the Settings<\/strong> tab of AcidRip.\u00a0 These are required to get proper video and audio output with mplayer<\/a> on my system.\u00a0 I’m no mplayer expert but a little trial and error uncovered that the problem with this command comes from the -frames<\/em> and -sstep<\/em> options.\u00a0 If I remove them then the video and audio previews play just fine with mplayer.\u00a0 So I dug into the AcidRip code and found that in acidrip.pm, lines 323-326 look like this:<\/p>\n

my $frames = $::settings->{‘ppc_bug’} ? 100 : 10;
\nmy $sstep = “-sstep ” . int $length \/ ( 3 * $frames ) + 1;
\n$sstep = “-ss ” . int $length \/ 3 if $::settings->{‘ppc_bug’};
\n$menc{‘frames’} = “-frames $frames $sstep”;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Commenting out that last line and replacing it with the following line fixes the preview problems I’ve having with AcidRip.\n<\/p>\n

$menc{‘frames’} = “”;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

These options supposedly only cause the preview to play a little faster and skip a little into the specified track.\u00a0 But they both have to come out to get the previews to work properly on my system.<\/p>\n

Your mileage may vary.<\/p>\n

Another thing I discovered after the yum update is that mencoder was no longer compiled with lame<\/em> support for audio.\u00a0 I’m not sure why that change has occurred (maybe it was just a bad rebuild of mencoder?) but the solution from AcidRip’s point of view is to simply change the audio to twolame<\/em>.\u00a0 Rips appear to work fine with that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
