Scenarist import error: timecode...larger than video duration. I'm stuck...

[JFerguson]

Here's the error. It's for Matrix Revolutions R1 (disc 1), and it's a movie-only dump (from Shrink):


Warning The duration of MPEG video file "D:\!DVDWork\!DoIt\VTS01\VTS__01_P01.16~9_1.MPV.M2V" has changed.
Error Track "VTS_01_PGC_01", Scene "VTS01_vobid02_cellid20"'s timecode 02:00:11:06 is larger than video duration.
Warning D:\!DVDWork\!DoIt\VTS01\VTS__01_P01.16~9_1.MPV.M2V
Warning : Number of SequenceEndCode is 0.

Error Importing failed


The .mpv file is 4GB - looks about right. The .mpv.m2v file is about 3GB - that doesn't look right...who generates this one?

I'm using ReAuthorist to generate the import script. No version of ScenAid (including build 24) can produce a proper script (0905 produces incomplete script file, the latter versions err out upon scanning the work dir).

I haven't been able to dig anything up on this one with a search. Appreciate any help - thanks...

the .mpv file is the re-encoded asset. The .mpv.m2v file is the pulled down version of the .mpv <-- that's the one you'll need to use however it should be the same length as the .mpv (batchcce / docce4u usually creates this file after encoding)

If it's not, then that's where your problem resides....

I'm trying to determain your problem w/ the .ifo scan in ScenAid. If you could please email me the .ifo's in question it would greatly help

however, my guess is the problem resides with the fact that your trying to scan a vts set created/made by dvdshrink and it's probably not 100% standard.

I'd recommend instead, try using a utility called vobblanker and blank out all the VTS sets you don't want/need although, be warned, you won't find much support for these method as most people don't support ripping apart a dvd like that
Thanks

Yeah, I don't know why this one's been such a bother. I re-ran pulldown from the Utilities menu in DoCCE4U and it produced a properly sized file this time. Imported and built the DVD in Scenarist with no problems. Thanks for the help.

I emailed you the IFO. 0.9.0.24 errors out on it; 0.9.0.5 doesn't but builds a script about half the size that ReAuthorist does, and that usually means trouble...
