Can only rip from DVD while displaying output

[JED]

Hi all,

I'm running into a strange problem where I can only rip from a DVD when I'm also displaying the output. If I don't check "Display the output", I end up with a file that looks like it's only a split-second long. But with the exact same settings and "Display the output" checked, it works without a problem.

The same is true from the command line, so this works (from a batch script):

Code: Select all

"D:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" dvdsimple://E:\@2 :sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vb=800,width=480,acodec=mp4a,ab=192,channels=2,samplerate=48000}:duplicate{dst=file{dst="[file].mp4"},dst=display} :dvdread-caching=300 vlc://quit

But this does not:

Code: Select all

"D:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" dvdsimple://E:\@2 :sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vb=800,width=480,acodec=mp4a,ab=192,channels=2,samplerate=48000}:duplicate{dst=file{dst="[file].mp4"}} :dvdread-caching=300 vlc://quit

I'm using VLC 1.1.5 on Windows 7.

Any ideas? Thanks.
