no sound after 1 hour

Hi,
I use this command to copy a movie from DVD to harddisk:
Code: Select all
vlc.exe
'dvdsimple://E:\@1'
':sout=#std{access=file,mux=ps,dst=myfile.mpg'
':audio-track=0'
When I play the copy, there is no sound after approx 1 hour. I have tried with 2 DVDs, same problem.
What could I try?
Cheers,
Morten

Would that one hour point be then around 4 gigabyte mark?

close, I think the movie was about 98 mins long, and sound disappeared after about 62 mins:
Code: Select all
((5 927 151 381 bytes) / 98) * 62 = 3.49230176 gigabytes
I don't know if it can be calculated that way.
As I remember, on both movies the sound disappear right in a "sceneshift".
Cheers,
Morten

is there any workaround?

Splitting of the video might work. So
--start-time=<float> Start time
The stream will start at this position (in seconds).
--stop-time=<float> Stop time
The stream will stop at this position (in seconds).
but you would have to use some tool join the files together.

Thanks, but same thing happen (a few minutes into 2nd file). I used the following commands (I am using cygwin on windows):
Code: Select all
/cygdrive/c/Programmer/VideoLAN/VLC/vlc.exe \
'dvdsimple://E:\@1' \
':sout=#std{access=file,mux=ps,dst=far-til-fire-i-sneen-del-1.mpg' \
'--stop-time=3000' \
':audio-track=0' \
'vlc://quit'
/cygdrive/c/Programmer/VideoLAN/VLC/vlc.exe \
'dvdsimple://E:\@1' \
':sout=#std{access=file,mux=ps,dst=far-til-fire-i-sneen-del-2.mpg' \
'--start-time=3000' \
':audio-track=0' \
'vlc://quit'
Any other ideas?

i also had tried this as workaround - i.e., splitting the video - and got same result. sound died a few minutes into the 2nd file - right at about the 4gb point.

Hi,
http://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/3136 says "When reindexed with AVIdemux the TS file works OK." - what does that mean? Did you get a working copy?

The audio works correctly in re-indexed file. So the audio is in the file, there is just some issue with container info about the file.

Ok, could you teach me how to re-index a file myself?

Just open it on AVIdemux, it will ask if you want to index it, answer yes. Then save it.

got nearly the same problem ...
Sound in a saved DVD wents off after 48:33 minutes which is the moment where there is a DVD layer switch!!
Using NTFS file system (so no 4GB fs limit) Sound dissapeared at about 2.6 GB, while total size is 5.8GB.
While playing the DVD the sound is ok all the time, even when I'm playing / saving the streams using the
red record button. Quality is absoluteley percfect up to the layer switch, then the sound ends, while video goes on.
Have already tried a buffer of 1sec... Only solution so far is to record in two pieces (one for each layer)
AVIdemus and reindexing didn't work... makes bad asynchronous behavior and at least also no sound at the end of the file.
Any ideas appreciated

Can you make the first part of the movie en one file, and second part of the movie in another file, if so, how?

How to select layer? (I don't even know what layer is)

You never know the right time in advance
You have to hear the moment the drive is repositioning / stops shortly ... and stop recording there. Then you have to record a second time beginning after that point you noticed before. May be you miss a few seconds ...

Ok, got it! With these 2 commands:
Code: Select all
vlc.exe \
'dvdsimple://E:\@1' \
':sout=#std{access=file,mux=ps,dst=movie-part-1.mpg' \
'--stop-time=3524' \
':audio-track=0' \
'vlc://quit'
vlc.exe \
'dvdsimple://E:\@1' \
':sout=#std{access=file,mux=ps,dst=movie-part-2.mpg' \
'--start-time=3524' \
':audio-track=0' \
'vlc://quit'
The hard part is locating the correct start/stop time. Now I can create a playlist file with the 2 parts, which I can double-click.

I was glad and went on to the next DVD. The sound was fine for both the first and second part I recorded, but the picture froze the last 5 minutes of the second part.
Any ideas?
