Dear All,
I have a video DVD with the following structure:
$ dir AUDIO_TS VIDEO_TS $
I would like to upload the video into YouTube. However, it seems that I have first to convert the video DVD to one of the formats accepted by YouTube. Could someone please direct me about how to achieve that in Fedora?
Thanks in advance,
Paul

Can't you just convert your original footage?
Sorry for the top post.
If you are running kde you can rip the tracks you want with k3b providing transcode does not crash

Thanks, Frank, David and Ed. Unfortunately, I do not have access to the footage. I will follow Ed's advice. I guess dvirip is a command-line tool. To which format do you convert to? Do you recall the exact command?

It is actually a gui tool with many options. I converted to avi. It has been a while since I've last used it...but it may be able to do mp4 as well.

Thanks to Ed's advice, I have been able to convert my video dvd to a *.avi file via dvdrip. I am thus very grateful to him.

Well, I've not done it for a while, but I've been able to just upload the VOB files to YouTube, and it handled them by itself. However, YouTube has a nasty habit of badly stuffing up sound to picture synchronisation.
Giving it a different file format to deal with my change that issue, though. And, presuming you have a long video, it would sidestep the issue of DVD video being spread across more than one VOB file.

Thanks, Tim. By uploading the VOB files, the quality of the image is better compared to the AVI counterparts.

Give Handbrake a try. It produces mp4 or mkv output with great quality and the output will be much smaller than your VOB files.

Thanks, John. Is handbrake in Fedora repos? It seems not.

No, it isn't.
FWIW, handbrake and dvdrip are similar in that they are GUI fontends to command line tools such as transcode and ffmpeg.
You mentioned earlier about the quality. That can be improved on a rip by making changes the the options in dvdrip. If you go with the default you may not get optimal results.

The less you convert a file, the better it will be. Most video compression schemes are lossy (data is permanently discarded), and compressions upon compressions (video to VOB, YouTube's conversion to Flash or webm) can produce nasty artefacts. Put another in the middle, and you multiply the problem.
However, it is possible that very good compression in the middle of that (i.e. one that's not very destructive to the data) may not be noticeable. Especially when you consider the small picture size that YouTube has for the video.
The same goes for audio. Some YouTube clips sound like a detuning shortwave radio, played back over a chewed audio cassette from 1977.
