conversion of dvd hangs
Posted: 08 Apr 2011 21:57
Hi forum. I couldn't find an answer to this, but it seems like it would have been covered somewhere. Never-the-less, I don't see why it didn't work.
Problem: converting a dvd made by sony dvdirect, a dvd burner.
I select "convert and save", "dvd", "no menus" (checked and unchecked didn't matter), select the drive and the default "MRL" and "edit options" (dvd://F:\VIDEO_TS and :dvdnav-caching=300). I pick "convert" and use the default H.264 and ACC. I click "start".
It says "streaming" at the bottom and hangs. The progress bar is way over to the right (like it's done). The avi file created is 1 k in size and never increases.
The dvd has one chapter and I think VLC hangs on that. I tried to burn a dvd without chaptering, but the stupid dvdirect wouldn't finalize the disk when I unchecked "automatic chaptering".
I can play the dvd with VLC and it is just like the original footage.
I gave up and tried converting the dvd with other tools (winAVI and Total Video Converter) which did produce files that VLC would play, but alas, the videos didn't play back smoothly (jumped or had missing frames or something) and was unusable.
So I am back to wanting to use VLC to convert the dvd.
From the VLC player, looking at the opening chapter nemu, VLC codec info reported that the original dvd had 60 fps. Once I click the chapter to play the video and then look at the codec information, it says: stream 0: subtitle, stream 1: MPEG 1/2; 720 x 480 60 fps, stream 1: MPEG 1/2; 720 x 480 59.94 fps, streams 3-6 are closed captions (but there are no captions in the video), and stream 7: A52 (AC3) 48 kHz, 384 bps.
Isn't 60 or 59.94 fps kind of wired? I never see anything over 30 fps.
So I am back wanting to convert this dvd using VLC. I reason that because VLC is able to play the dvd, at least it shouldn't hang on the conversion. I couldn't fine a log file. Can someone help me?
Respectfully,
Dr. Phyto
