Hi,

I would like to transcode a DVD. In order to do that I made a small app that look for the bigger title on the dvd and then launch vlc like :

vlc dvd:///dev/dvd@3 (for example)

after reaching the end of the title it goes back to the main menu of the dvd.
How can I avoid that ? I would prefer vlc to end up and close itself.

I also tried vlc dvdsimple:///dev/dvd@3, The movie is looping again and again.

Thank you for your answers.

Bye

Hi,


I also tried vlc dvdsimple:///dev/dvd@3, The movie is looping again and again.

This is the right way to do it. You can add a VLC:QUIT playlist item after the dvdsimple: one, in order to have VLC exit after hving read the stream

I'm experiencing the same problem in an automated application I'm writing to convert DVD's to transport stream. Using vlc:quit together with dvdsimple:// solves the problem.
However, I have experienced very problematic stability issues with dvdsimple (hangs and quits during "ripping" on some DVD's) so I would like to continue using dvd:// which in my experience is more stable. Is there a way to make dvd:// behave similar to dvdsimple:// and not return to the menu?
