Converting video DVD to file fails.

Postby shmerl » 21 Oct 2013 03:41

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?

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.

Tony
