MP4 converter??

[ENNO]

Ok i wanna rip my dvd collection on to my comp and convert it to MP4 so i can slap it on my PS3....can sabayon do this?

Sabayon comes with a program called DVD::RIP, but I'm not sure if it support mp4... but google is always your friend, I'm sure there's some free software out there that will either go from DVD to mp4 or go from one of the formats DVD::RIP handles to mp4... and chances are that Sabayon can run whatever it is. If you have source of a linux build of the program, you'll always be golden, otherwise try emerge [packagename] when you find something you like to have portage handle the install.

The fastest way:

ffmpeg -vcodec xvid -b 1000 -qmax 10 -bufsize 8192 -g 300 -acodec aac
-ab 128 -ac 2 -i origin.avi -s 624x352 -aspect 4:3 output.mp4

If you want widescreen for some insane reason put 16:9 instead of 4:3.

Or you can use mencoder to make a Two pass encode of a DVD to an MPEG-4 ("DivX") AVI while encoding the audio track to MP3.

mencoder dvd://# -ovc lavc -lavcopts vpass=1 -oac mp3lame -o movie.avi
mencoder dvd://# -ovc lavc -lavcopts vpass=2 -oac mp3lame -o movie.avi

Two pass encode of a DVD to an MPEG-4 ("DivX") AVI while copying the audio track.

mencoder dvd://# -ovc lavc -lavcopts vpass=1 -oac copy -o movie.avi
mencoder dvd://# -ovc lavc -lavcopts vpass=2 -oac copy -o movie.avi

You will probably find it easiest to use dvdrip only to read the TOC contents on the DVD to find the track numbers you want to rip, sometimes mencoder automatically finds the one you want. When you do find it put the title number change the "#" to the number of the dvd title that you want to rip.
