About:
transcode is a text console video-stream processing tool. It supports elementary video and audio frame transformations. Some example modules are included to enable import of MPEG-1/2, Digital Video, and other formats. It also includes export modules for writing to AVI files with DivX, OpenDivX, XviD, Digital Video or other codecs. Direct DVD transcoding is also supported. A set of tools is available to extract and decode the sources into raw video/audio streams for import and to enable post-processing of AVI files.

[»] Where is XviD zones support?
by Justin Turner Arthur - Oct 27th 2004 09:05:45

In version 0.6.12, using the latest version of xvid4conf, I do not see support for XviD 1.x zones at all. This is pretty important for transcoding rips so that the credits don't waste your file size.

[»] not to be nitpicking,
by Marcus - Jun 15th 2001 04:47:54

but a .vob file is usually a program stream according to iso/iec 13818-1 and not a system stream according to iso/iec 11172-1. And the
program stream on a DVD is even more restricted, e.g. by a packet size of 2048 bytes.
In the interest of those who want to transcode other than DVD program streams, it should be made clear what the program can and cannot do.

Currently transcode relies on "mpeg2dec" . Any MPEG system/program/video stream "mpeg2dec" is able to decode into raw video frames (RGB) should work as input. Same for audio. You need the "ac3dec" package or "mpeg3cat" from "libmpeg3" to extract and decode to raw audio (PCM). Apply the patches to stream to stdout.
