I have managed to gt a response from Pinnacle on their forum and they are testing the DVD I made :D

but can you guys also try it so I know it's not just me that's getting the vobtrans.ax error. It's 606kb but unzips to 44MB :)

instruction for the 'crashes on 2nd title'
play this DVD you will get a menu asking to play the colour or blank scene

the colour scene is just a nice big orange blob throughout for 1min 33 secs and is ok

if you play the blank scene you see the orange dot at first but after 46 seconds it's just a pure black image displayed (0.22MB/s) for just over a minute until the end of the title

process this DVD leave title 1 at 100% and reduce title 2 to anything you want, it will analyze ok and reduces title 1 ok . At this point it's 63% complete but it will crash during the processing of title 2 after a short while when it comes to the black part although it won't show it in the preview cos the preview is behind the actual part it's processing

rename the PDI file it has created to end with .VOB and play it back. You will see that it is 1 minute 33 seconds in length which is title one cos that's were it crashed during processing title 2 and never added any of it to the PDI file



download link : crashes on 2nd title DVD.zip (606kb) (http://www.pirnie.org/ic_bug_repros/crashes%20on%202nd%20title.zip)

MisterX,
Yes I also get the multicopy error - vobtrans.ax error when IC tried to transcode title 2.

yep, 63% is when it crashes

so now at least I know that when the guy at Pinnacle tries it, he should also get the same error

and hopefully this will help them to fix it

cheers guys :D

Same here, but I get no error message on win2000 sp2. Just exits.

I've just tried this mini DVD on DVD95Copy version 1.4 and set it to fit 30MB

it came out at 34.5MB which is just fine cos I would expect that due to 1 minute of black content having a low bitrate of 0.22MB/s, it can't compress that part by much regardless of what you set it

the most important factor is that it didn't crash, it processed the complete DVD with no problems :)

it did actually reduce the bitrates of the black section
original title 2 bitrate orange part=2.01MB/s, black part=0.22MB/s
processed title 2 bitrate orange part=1.70MB/s, black part=0.21MB/s

Finally !!!!

the Pinnacle support guy jfrench has been able to reproduce the vobtrans.ax error with the DVD I sent and he's now past it onto the guy's in engineering

Pinnacle Support (http://webboard.pinnaclesys.com/read_messages.asp?WebboardID=1&ForumID=877&SectionID=170&ThreadID=136109&ThreadStart=0&Pos=5&cntThread=142&lng=1)

hopefully they fix it soon along with the black bar issue
