Hello all,
I'm running into problems getting the correct length for the AC3 stream in Maestro. After demuxing the audio straight from the dvd source with DVD Decrypter (no delay was reported), the reported length of the audio in Maestro is a little over 2 seconds longer than the m2v. Indeed, the video starts at the time it's supposed to, but the audio is consistently 2.x seconds behind through the movie. I don't know how this happened.. it's as if the 2.x second gap was present in the original movie but it really isn't!
I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but when I ripped the dvd in DVD Decrypter I kept the video and subs together in vob format so I can Subrip. After doing so, the first problem I ran into was after demuxing the video stream from that vob file using bbdmux: I got a m2v that's only 1 second long (Maestro notes that it has the drop frame flag enabled). After running the file through Restream with reset timestamps, zero broken-link flags and remove sequence end codes (the latter by itself resolves that particular issue), Maestro accepted the file. Might this process be flawed in some way?
I'm ripping Evangelion disc 2, a Japanese anime. The subs line up just fine with the m2v, but the audio seems to have a 2.x silence in the beginning.
Also I'd like to thank everyone on the forum for making my first projects a success! :) I was able to author all the other discs in the Evangelion series without this problem. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
miles
