Using Vamps for CLI DVD backup

I'm working on a script to rip / compress / burn a DVD9 to DVD5.

does anyone use vamps? what input filetype does it need? i've been pulling my hair out trying to get this to work.

i know many gui programs are frontends to vamps and they seem to work (when they want to) i thought i'd get better results writing my own script, using k9copy is clunky and it doesn't always behave

vamps manpage / help is lacking and google isn't giving me any help.

i've tried:

vamps -s file.mpeg -e 1.5
vamps -s file.m2v -e 1.5
vamps -s /dev/sr0 -e 1.5
vamps -s /media/dvd/VIDEO_TS/* -e 1.5
...
and other's i can't remember

what does it want?

I'm just looking at vamps, haven't actually used it yet.

Re: Using Vamps for CLI DVD backup

thanks for the heads up, i actually wrote an mencoder script instead (just posted it in a new thread).  wish that "< file.mpg >" thing was more documented...

thanks again.
