recent mplayer has made some subtle changes to it's output that broke the
regular expression parsing for both crop detection and for output of encoding
status.  Attached is a patch to make acid rip work for me with
mplayer-1.0_rc1-r2

Created an attachment (id=110985) [details]
Fix acidrip to work with newer mplayer

The -sstep 61 is just me being lazy; it looks like it used to divide the whole
movie into 10 chunks and step that way, but every movie I've tried gets good
crop detection within the first 10 minutes, and I didn't want to fix the length
parsing.  Feel free to fix that portion correctly.

this probably has to go upstream, but last release on sf.net is : September 25,
2004... so I dunno what to do here

Sure, that's why I posted it here.  Upstream appears to be dead, but it's a
fairly minor set of changes just to track changes in mplayer, so I suspect it'd
be fine if we kept it here.

I just wish there was a viable alternative to acidrip.

then if you're using it, I have absolutely no objection that you commit the fix
. As mplayer 1.0 rc1 is now stable everywhere, it can only help.

FWIW, there are some : dvdrip, ogmrip or winki
but I dunno what you mean by "viable" ;)

FYI here is an email from a similar patch I had sent to Chris Phillips:

i'm no longer actively developing it to be honest, sorry... feel free to fork
it...

Dang, sorry about leaving all the garbage in that last comment.  I hit commit
without thinking.  I see the reason for not being able to edit comments, but
sometimes it _is_ embarrassing.

This packages also misses a "built_with_use mplayer encode" check and will thus
randomly not build. Looks unmaintained, stale, broken.

treecleaners: might be a candidate :)

Seems fixable.

dang, go ahead and please commit the fix if you use the software

dang,

I applied a patch similar to yours, didn't change sstep like you did, don't
know why we need it.  Anyway, worksforme.

In CVS as -r2

Thanks.

I'm not sure the sstep is still necessary; I was having problems with getting
weird ssteps that resulted in not detecting a good crop.
