MKVCREATE

NAME

SYNOPSIS

mkvcreate [options] [titles]  

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the mkvcreate command.

  mkvcreate rips the given titles from a DVD and encodes them in XViD format. They are stored in a Matroska container with all the available audio streams copied verbatim (in AC3 format) and all the available subtitle streams copied verbatim (in VobSub format). The resulting file can be played with any of the audio or subtitle languages from a single file.
  One file per title is created. Titles may be given on the commandline or if none are given then all titles will be copied from the DVD.
