Code:
dpgconv dvd://1


for first chapter from dvd

though i completely forgot about such video sources ...
so if you want it in such way you should remove
Code:
        if not (os.path.lexists ( file )):
                print "File " + file + " doesn't exist"
                return

from dpgconv

or you can just use something like this:
Code:
dpgconv /mnt/cdrom/VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_1.VOB

Thx. so much. it seems to stretch out the video if the src dvd is 1.78 aspect ratio (AKA 16x9). Any params i should pass?

256x192 is 4:3. 256x144 is 16:9. So based on this document, pass --height 144.
