I just got tablet-encode
( http://mediautils.garage.maemo.org/tablet-encode.html )
running on my CentOS box and I love it.

But there's one thing I'm curious about.

I'm running this with a physical DVD in the drive:

tablet-encode -p n900 dvd: <output dir>

And I get a beautiful avi file from my DVD.... but only the first 15 minutes of the movie.

Should I use different options to capture all of the video files on the DVD? <i.e: the entire movie>

No, that seems to be a bug weirdity. Can you do the following:

Code:
mplayer -identify dvd://
Were there any obvious errors during the tablet-encode run? One assumes you didn't run out of disk space ;-)

@Jaffa: I'll try that command when I get home.

Funny thing though....

Since I encoded my first DVD and only got the first 15 minutes, I tired a different one, and it crashed somewhere on the second pass leaving the file corrupted.

So third time was a charm since I tried again and this time the encoding ran for a few hours and I actually got the entire movie!!

All with the same command I originally ran. So I guess to encode an entire DVD you just have to keep trying since random system resource situations can interrupt the trans coding process.
