Simple way of converting a ripped movie to H.264 with ffmpeg in the command line interface. The resulting movie is nearly indistinguishable from the original ripped DVD.
video=H.264 audio=vorbis container=mkv

  • @pcandmoney thanks for the reply :)

  • @onlycicala The commands used via the terminal should be the same or very similar in linux as they are in windows. You can verify by typing x264 --help. FFMPEG calls upon libx264 for encoding, so it's the same encoding process.

  • is there anyway to encode using x264 in Arch the same way which is done in windows, via the terminal. if so, think you can make a tutorial on it?
