I have this question (actually I heve two questions), the first which btw lead me into the second and also to many troubles and 20 hours of wasted time: Why does the .AVS, when played somewhere shows me a length of 2:23:46 (the same as the .MP2, .AC3 and .D2V) and the encoded video (.MPV, unsing CCE) shows me 2:00:27 where did those 23 video minutes went? still, after being multiplexed using bbMPEG the resulting .MPGs are well sync.
The first time I encoded using DVD2SVCD I used TMPGEnc cause the logo on CCE, and unfortunately I didn't check if the same issue was present but the movie worked fine, Two days ago I ripped a DVD but after encoding with CCE ;) I foud out that the resulting MPV and the original video were showing different times.
This all came up when a bbMPEG error appeared at the muxing & cuting stage saying that no audio was specified although there was the MP2 audio. Surprisingly, after checking the default.ini file for bbMPEG, I found out there was missing the line on which the audio file is specified. So to avoid doing it all again I decided to add the line myself and multiplexed the first MPG file. It all went apparently okay, until the next step on DVD2SVCD on which it showed me an Invalid Floating Point stuff while trying to get the length of the new MPG. To that point I tryed playing the MPG on mplayer2 and the audio was out of sync. After all this troubles I thought the problem was with the CCE encoding so I tryed encoding again with a lower VBR and other settings, but it came out the same problem (bbMPEG saying no MP2 was present and invalid floating point) then I thought it must be a ripping issue, I'll start all over again.
But after deleting everything, reinstalling DVD2SVCD and CCE and trying to rip the DVD again, this time DVD2SVCD wasn't unable to rip (DVD2SVCD freezed) the disk ussing the internal routines so I also tryed vStrip but it ended up with a 'Lost sync [@LBA xxxxxx], was expecting PACKET_START_CODE_PREFIX' (This is not the unlock drive error). After this I couldn't recover from that point until I reinstalled everything (Windows and all), tho' the DVD played okay using WinDVD.
And for the second question: Anyone knows what might have happened and also if there's something I could've done instead of reinstalling Windows?
I'm Ussing Windows XP Pro on an Athlon 900Mhz and 256MB.
Thank you for your time :)
