Converting video DVD to file fails.

[shmerl]

I was trying to convert a video DVD to a video file (using Debian testing x86_64 with Debian Multimedia repo enabled).

I opened Convert/Save, and chose H264+AAC codecs profile in MP4 container. In result the player is working (device was selected correctly), but the produced file contains nothing (it's just a few kilobytes large). When VLC is run from console, it displays this:

Code: Select all

Then, I tried using VP8+Vorbis (WebM). No luck either:

Any idea what can be wrong? Any codecs or libraries missing may be?

UPDATE: When using Theora + Vorbis (OGG container) it works. But that's not what I needed.

Any clue, or it's an unusual problem?

[tizzo]

I'm getting similar behavior to the OP, with the exception that I'm running from the command line instead of the GUI, and I'm specifying individual titles from the DVD. If I try to convert only the first title (using "dvdsimple:///i:#1-1"), it works. If I try to convert titles 2, 3, or 4, I get a nearly empty file with output similar to the OP. Specifically it complains that it can't add a stream, and suggests increasing the sout-mux-caching value. So far I've pushed it as high as 300000000 (IE 300 million ms), with no change except that the file grows to about 45k instead of ~3k.

Any ideas? Thanks.
