[ excerpt from developer's www site with modifications ]

|
The idea was to use the high performance Metakine M2Requantiser to
|
|
create a transcoder for Linux for shrinking the content of a DVD9.
|
|
This would enable backups on cheap single layer DVDRs (double layer
|
|
burners weren't even available that time).
|
|
|
|
Vamps builds a wrapper around the requantizer to extract the
|
|
elementary MPEG2 video stream from the DVD's program stream, feed
|
|
it through the requantizer and finally re-pack it into the program
|
|
stream again. Besides this, Vamps allows the selection of both audio
|
|
and subtitle streams that should be copied into the output stream.
|
|
This gives another small gain of disk space, since unwanted streams
|
|
may be discarded.
|
|
|
|
Summed up, Vamps is only a very basic, but nevertheless essential
|
|
tool to transcode DVD videos to a smaller size. Vamps does not need
|
|
to write temporary data files, which is a major pro. Vamps is very
|
|
fast. The downside is, that Vamps is not capable of making DVD
|
|
backups on its own.
