Hello all,
Here are the symptoms:
1. Ripped vobs in DVD2AVI detected as 1h47 length @ 29.97 fps.
2. Final wav file length: 1h47.
3. Combined length of the 2 final .mpg files: ~2h15.
When I listen to the mpg files, the sound is off by ~10 seconds at the beginning, ~10 minutes in mid-movie and at then end, the sound cuts off about 25 minutes before the end. Both sound and video "psychologically" sound/look ok.
I'm guessing what's happening here is that DVD2AVI wrongly detects a frame rate of 29.97 and that DVD2SVCD relies on it. (I saw the fps parameter in the d2s file, but it's not user selectable in the GUI.) The video probably is, in fact, 23.97.
What are my options now? Is my only choice to change the fps setting in the d2s file and recover. Can I reuse the .vaf if I do that?
On a side note (aimed at the Author), this is the still the movie with the two "undistinguishable" Chinese tracks. I see that in the .d2s file parameters like AudioStream0 and AudioStream1. The first one is set to 0. Is that actually 0x80? If I write AudioStream1=1, will that pull out track 0x81? Both names will be "zh" but will that give me (encode+mux) the two tracks?
You see, when I play a DVD with a Mandarin and Cantonese track on my software player, my choices are actually Chinese and Chinese and I have to try them both to find out which is which. That's sorta consistent with this "issue". I guess that's just how the industry does it...?
