Description Elias Probst 2006-09-17 16:34:36 UTC

Version:           1.0pre2 (using KDE 3.5.4, Gentoo)
Compiler:          Target: i686-pc-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.17-gentoo-r7

Please make it possible to select more than one language when ripping a DVD.
At the moment only one language can be selected, so it's impossible to create multilanguage DVD movies.

transcode does not support this directly. K3b's Video DVD ripping is very 
simplistic. If you need full power dvd ripping, user dvd:rip. I don't think I 
will implement this (except that transcode's interface will be enhanced.)

Ok!
I'll file a wish-bug upstream and close this bug.

Maybe one day I'll re-open it when transcode supports this ;-)

thanks. :)

I got a reply on the transcode-devel mailinglist:

That's true. Handling more than one audio and one video stream isn't
supported,
nor it's easy to add in current (CVS) codebase.
Support for this feature isn't yet planned.

...Do you want to help us implementing it? ;)

But how does it dvd::rip do?? It uses transcode too.
Is there a buggy/complicated way doing it which isn't that "clean" as the K3B code policies require it?

dvd:rip uses a combination of transcode, mencoder, and some other tools. It is 
perfeclty clean but just much more complicated than just calling 
transcode. ;)
I wanted better dvd ripping support for K3b 1.0. I did not plan to make it 
perfect yet. So this is a task for K3b 2.0.
