If you are still interested, I added the ability to encode TV shows/multiple titles to my script. You would need to use the -e (episodes) argument and a minimum length of titles, i.e.:<div><br></div><div>AutoDVDEncoderScript.sh "Stargate SG1 Season 1 Disc 1" -e 15 "Stargate SG1 Season 1 Disc 2" -e 15</div>
<div><br></div><div>etc, etc.</div><div><br></div><div>You can download it at <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><a href="http://john.wesorick.com/2011/03/autodvdencoder.html">http://john.wesorick.com/2011/03/autodvdencoder.html</a> I'd love some feedback/testers, if you're interested.

</div>I did misunderstand that you meant the whole folder. Thanks for the<br>
clarification.<br>
<br>
I just dvdbackup'd a disc and checked the contents more closely. The<br>
VOB files *are* separated by episode, though each episode spans more<br>
than one VOB. For example, here's a bit of the directory listing.<br>
<br>
1.2M Mar 9 19:52 VTS_06_0.VOB<br>
1.0G Mar 9 19:58 VTS_06_1.VOB this<br>
632M Mar 9 20:01 VTS_06_2.VOB and this are one episode<br>
42K Mar 9 20:01 VTS_07_0.BUP<br>
42K Mar 9 20:01 VTS_07_0.IFO<br>
1.2M Mar 9 20:01 VTS_07_0.VOB this<br>
1.0G Mar 9 20:05 VTS_07_1.VOB and this are another<br>
632M Mar 9 20:07 VTS_07_2.VOB<br>
34K Mar 9 20:07 VTS_08_0.BUP<br>
34K Mar 9 20:07 VTS_08_0.IFO<br>
1014M Mar 9 20:10 VTS_08_1.VOB but this one is not;<br>
42K Mar 9 20:10 VTS_09_0.BUP it's a special feature<br>
42K Mar 9 20:10 VTS_09_0.IFO<br>
<br>
I cat'ed VTS_06_1.VOB and VTS_06_2.VOB into new.vob. vlc plays this<br>
file *and* includes the various audio tracks, thus preserving the<br>
commentary. In addition, there is zero loss of video and/or audio<br>
quality. :-)<br>
