Yes, the link still says 1.5.4, but just download 1.5.5 manually:

also,: [edit]

mkfifo is only for piping from mplayer. The command you posted will work just fine, and it should use ffms2 as default. if you want to do a quick test, add --frames 1000 --preset ultrafast ;) also note --tune should only be used if your source matches the tune option. (ie --tune film for film, anima...

of course! ffms2 can accept almost any input (anything ffmpeg can). might want to pipe from mplayer, or avisynth+wine+avs2yuv to do filtering as DVDs sometimes have weird telecine and such.
Also I forgot to mention that ffms2 barfs on .m2ts and .ts so use pipes if your source is ts or m2ts.

This is no longer needed, ffms2 was updated to fix this issue Hi, sorry it seems ffmpeg was updated recently and ffms2 was not. please check out slightly older revision (same date as latest ffms2) of ffmpeg: #no longer needed, ffms2 was updated to support latest ffmpeg, but if it breaks again use t...

post if you have more questions

This will cover my favorite method: using x264 compiled with FFmpegSource2 input directly, or if crop/resize is needed pipe from mplayer->x264. In either case, end up muxing everything together with mkvmerge gui. I do not suggest using x264 from repository. It will likely be very outdated and not co...

do not use anydvd+makemkv. makemkv does not need it and can cause issues.

Yes, I can do a howto, will put it on the faq page and mkv processing section later.

will cover compiling x264 with ffms2 suport, and piping from mplayer method. note that this method will work in windows and osx too... but probably wont need to compile your own stuff.

crowfax: When I re-encode, I do it by hand. I have x264 compiled with FFmpegSource/lavf input for direct encoding of most formats. There is a patch for x264 in the works that can do cropping and resizing too, but it doesnt work against latest git. So if I need to resize or crop, I pipe from mplayer ...

he means your rip will have better quality than what you can buy from itunes

a regular old BD-ROM drive will be enough. unless you want to burn, then you need r/rw

Hi, please post the error message. Also are are you in the oss/bin source folder with 'makefile.linux' ? also make sure that you do the same for both OSS and BIN folders.

makemkv does NOT re-encode the video or audio. Use handbrake/mencoder/ffmpeg/x264 on the resulting mkv file from makemkv if you want to make it smaller.
