Hi there,
I've been using dvd::rip for nearly two years now and I'm very pleased - a
great tool. I used to encode DVDs to VCDs to watch them on my standalone
player which doesn't support SVCDs. Now I'm able to play SVCDs, tried to
encode them via dvd::rip and encountered the following problem: When I hit
"Transcode + Split" button I get one single .mpeg file instead of the two I
configured in "Target Media".
As far as I can trace the problem it seems to be that either mpeg2enc
doesn't place sequence ends/begins in the .m2v stream, or mplex doesn't
recognize them. (Apart from that I'm wondering why the stream is encoded
via -F 5,'...' as user SVCD, but splitted via -f 4 as standard SVCD.
Changing that in the source code to -F 4 didn't help, and it seems to be
the same in the latest 0.52.X-version of dvd::rip) The mpeg2enc options
(including the "-S" sequence-length option") seem to be correct.
I've tried all commands displayed by Ctrl-T on the command line just to
eliminate the possibility that the commands displayed or logged differ from
the commands executed - with no success at all. I searched the mailing list
archive for hours and played with the mpeg2enc and mplex options, but the
only way to split the resulting file seems to be the -S option in mplex,
which - according to the man page - shouldn't be used, but sequence
begins/ends encoded in the stream by mpeg2enc.
The crazy thing is that everything works fine (i.e. the mpeg is splitted
correctly) when choosing vcd instead of svcd - also using mpeg2enc.
Can anybody help me? Is this a dvd::rip problem - maybe the mpeg2enc
options? Many thanks in advance!
