Handycam DCR-DVD105E

This records directly on 8cm DVD-R, DVD-RW or DVD+RW.
So to get the movies under linux, just rip the DVD!

Mplayer conversions

To play DVD-RW Video 16:9 correctly and non-interlaced: (here the 4th video)

mplayer dvd://2 -chapter 2 -vf tfields -aspect 16:9

To dump raw:

mplayer dvd://2 -dumpstream -dumpfile video.raw

To convert to MS Mpeg4v2 800 / mp3 128 (2 passes)

mencoder video.raw -o /dev/null -vf scale=720:405  -oac copy -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=msmpeg4v2:vpass=1
mencoder video.raw -o video.avi -vf scale=720:405  -oac lavc -ovc lavc -lavcopts acodec=mp3:abitrate=128:vcodec=msmpeg4v2:vpass=2:vbitrate=800

For a 4:3 video, rescale with

scale=720:540

Other tests:

-ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:mbd=1:vbitrate=1800
-ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate="1200":vhq:vpass=1
-ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate="1200":vhq:vpass=2
-ovc xvid -xvidencopts pass=1
-ovc xvid -xvidencopts pass=2:bitrate=1200

Other codecs of lavc to try:

mpeg4       MPEG-4 (DivX 4/5)
msmpeg4     DivX 3
msmpeg4v2   MS MPEG-4v2
   Windows: ok 
   DVD-player: no
wmv2        Windows Media Video, version 2 (alias WMV8)

DVD creation

From dvdbackup files:

growisofs -Z /dev/dvd -dvd-video /PATH/TO/BACKUP/

Apparently this should also be possible with

mkisofs -dvd-video -o ISONAME.iso /PATH/TO/BACKUP/
dvdrecord speed=1 -dao dev=0,0,0 ISONAME.iso 

CD creation

Burning the avis on a CD:

genisoimage -R -J <dir> | wodim -v -eject -

I tried the codec "MS Mpeg4v2" on my DVD player but it does not recognize that codec
