VLC 1.0.2 slow streaming DVD to mpg file

Postby rober1s » 14 Jan 2010 00:15

Hi.

VLC 1.0.2 (Kubuntu 9.10 32-bit) is about 5 - 10 times slower than V 0.9.9a when streaming a DVD to an mpg file. I have not been able to find a work-around, has anybody else seen this: what's the fix?

Thanks,

Update, 1-17-2010: I've now tried every combination of encapsulation, and video and audio codec when streaming a DVD to file. No matter what, VLC 1.0 streams 1 second of video to file per second, as compared to the pre-1.0 version which could stream and entire DVD in about 10 - 15 minutes. This means it now takes about 90 minutes to stream an entire DVD.

Update2, 1-18-2010: I installed V0.9.10 from the source tarball, so I now have fast dvd to file streaming again. BTW, it is curious that the source is set to configure with --enable-dvdnav disabled by default...

Are you sure? VLC 1.0 has a misfeature where it shows the progress as real-time, but it is not actually recording at real-time speed.

Yep I'm sure. I can stream an entire DVD to file using V0.9.9a in 10 - 15 minutes. With V1.0.2 it takes about 1 1/2 hours, or one second per second of video, as if you were viewing the video at the same time you were streaming it to file.
