Problems with still pictures in a VOB

[gabman]

I want to backup a movie with a vob with 1 vob id and 8 cell ids, in every cell id there is a short movie, before the movie starts (at the beginning of each cell) there is a still frame about 2secs long. When I demux the vob the still picture is about 1/4 sec long.
So when I remux the m2v with the ac3 the new vob is async. I really dont know how to backup this. I use big3 with scenaid.

You can't directly. The first cell is a slideshow. the easiest way would be to demux by cellid, then import each cell into muxman as 1 segment (ie multi file data). Muxman should spot that the first item is a still, so you can then set the length to whatever you want (in this case 2s). Drop in the audio and all will be fine.

ok thank you so far :) thats exactly what i needed, do you know an app where i can see how many frames long the slideshow is?

Ifoedit will tell you that, but FYI:

PAL is 25fps
NTSC is 30fps

In muxman though just set the length to 00:00:02:00 (for 2s)

hm i cant set the time with my reencoded mpv. it only works with the untouched m2v

/edit i use MuxMan_0_17p6

You are probably losing the sequence_end headers at the end of each still when you re-encode. This is what signifies slideshow video to authoring programs. See if your encoder has an option to add the header for each frame. And although I know of 2 programs to remove sequence_end headers, I don't know any that will add them.

i wonder how they create that kind of slideshows

/edit i think i found a way with muxman, but still trying
