changes to default conversion behavior in 1.1.0

Postby vlcfanman » 19 Jul 2010 06:12

I'm having a problem in 1.1.0 with a conversion. No problem in the previous version. What I've been doing is crude and horrible but was working in previous version. I'm a complete nuub. If there is a better way....

Menu -> Media -> Convert/Save
Disk -> Starting Position
- Title [0]
- Chapter [0]
- Display the output [yes]

{Convert/Save}
Destination: [desktop]\file.mpg
Profile: [Video H264 + AAC (MP4)]
- i make no changes to the default encoding settings

{Start}

The output is displayed and I click 'play' on the dvd based menu on screen. I wait until the dvd has finished playing and returned to the dvd menu then I click the stop button on VLC.

Sidebar: Ideally I would open at the file level but the reason I'm opening at the disk level is because when I open at the file level the screen output is very pixelated. I do not understand why but figured I would avoid it. I got this in the previous version so I'm interested to know but not too concerned about that part.

EDIT - Great I forgot to add the actual problem:

In 1.1.0 the file I create seems to be about the right size but there is no video or audio content there when I try to play it in VLC.

Thanks for any suggestions or a jump in the right direction. ; )

Going back to 1.0.5 to confirm it is ok like I think..

In case it makes a difference I'm running Windows Vista x86, intel 6420 (dual core), @2.13Ghz, 2GB ram.

Thanks for that. I tried again just now. This means I don't have to hang around waiting for the DVD to finish so that is a big improvement for me.

But this has no impact on the core problem I'm having in 1.1.0 when using this new process:

In 1.1.0 the file I create seems to be about the right size but there is no video or audio content there when I try to play it in VLC
