Heya,
On OSX Gem loads VOB files created with dvd::rip (on linux).
It is just using transcode in the backend, but does an easier job.
there must be some libdvdcss thingy for OSX?
They playback very well on OSX.

Tim,
is it possible to read dvd VOB files in gem?
If you're on win, it should be possible with avisynth. You'll need Avisynth (which is a frame server, http://www.avisynth.org)) and the appropriate mpeg2 decoding plugins (dgdecode, http://neuron2.net/dgmpgdec/dgmpgdec.html) I can't test it right now (not sitting on my real computer), but it should work along these lines:
- create a d2v file of your dvd by running
dgindex.exe. This produces an index file that contains mainly the frame order of your dvd.
- create an avisynth script that reads your vobs
using the index file. It should contain the following lines at least:
LoadPlugin("c:\path\to\dgdecode.dll") mpeg2source("c:\path\to\indexfile.d2v") converttorgb32()
you could add filters for deinterlacing or some other stuff here as well, just add them before the converttorgb32() line.
- Open this avs file with gem and see if it works. If
it doesn't, drop me a mail ...
You shouldn't try to reverse the video and avoid arbitrary jumps within, since avisynth is not exactly optimised to do that sort of things.
I have no clue on how this could be done with linux ... One would need a frameserver for this sort of thing. It might be possible to open a dvd with the vlc client and stream it locally, I remember vaguely that pdp is capable of opening network streams.
hope this helps, Thoralf.
