timing problems joining multiple PGCs

[mycatsnameisbernie]

I am trying to transcode a DVD to mp4/h.264 using Handbrake. I do this all the time and had no problems until now. What I think makes this one DVD special is that its main move title is split into multiple PGCs. It also contains multiple angles and subtitles. Handbrake can not transcode this, it stops after just a few seconds. VLC and other players can play it just fine.

I don't know if this is bug in Handbrake, or something non-standard about the mastering of the DVD. But I decided to use this as a learning exercise to see if I could massage the data on the DVD into something that Handbrake would accept.

See the end of this post for dump of how IfoEdit displays Title 1 as ripped from the DVD. PGC 2, 4, and 6 are stills that say “Act 1”, “Act 2”, and “Act 3” and display for a couple of seconds each when playing the DVD. PGC 1, 3, 5, and 7 are the main movie. Note that there are also subtitles and angles.

The first thing I tried was reauthoring the DVD with DVDShrink. DVDShrink lists each PGC as a separate item. It calls the first PGC “Title 1” and the others “Title 1 Continued”. It also lists separate items for Angle 2. PGC 3, 5, and 7 are listed under “Main Movie” and PGC 1, 2, 4, and 6 are listed under “Extras”. Unfortunately, DVDShrink (in reauthor mode) converted each PGC into a separate title. This doesn’t work for me because handbrake can only transcode one title at a time. I am trying to get all PGCs transcoded into a single mp4 file.

So next, I used the method described here: http://forum.digital-digest.com/showthread.php?t=60724 to convert the separate titles output by DVDShrink into a single title. This method uses VobEdit’s “join clips” feature to create a title with one PGC with one chapter per cell, then uses IfoEdit to recreate the IFOs, and finally a mock strip cleans everything up. Since I didn’t care about the Act 1,2,3 stills, I only used PGC 1, 3, 5, and 7.

Now things start to get really weird. If you look at the times for PGC 1,3,5,7 below, you will see they add up to 1:56:58. However, VLC shows the length of my joined clips to be 2:06:28. I tried using both FixVTS and "mock strip", but neither changes the length.

As an experiment, I played the original DVD and the "join clips" versions at the same time with VLC. Even though the "join clips" version is supposedly longer, both player windows stay in perfect sync.

When I transcode the "join clips" version with handbrake, handbrake doesn’t see the last 2 chapters, so the end of the movie is cut off. However, VLC displays the result just fine with all chapters visible.

Next, I retried the VobEdit “join clips” method with one change: when I used IfoEdit to create the ifo’s, I checked “Create Chapter for 1st Cell only” instead of “Create Chapter for each Cell”. VLC still reports the too-long movie length, but handbrake transcodes the entire movie perfectly. The transcoded mp4 output by handbrake has a length of 1:59:40, which is still too long, but closer to the truth. However, the entire move is only 1 chapter, and I would like to have more chapters.

So next, I tried using PgcEdit to add more chapters. VLC still reports the incorrect (too long) movie length, but otherwise the result looks good on VLC. But now there is a different problem with Handbrake: It reports the encoded mp4 length as 2:03:14. The actual movie ends at 1:59:40. Then, it repeats the first 2+minutes of the move to take up the remaining time.

So I have the following questions:


Are there other methods that can join PGCs without introducing the timing problems I am seeing?
Why was the result of "join clips" incorrectly reporting a too-long movie?
Why does the number of chapters effect Handbrake's behavior?


Thanks for the help!

P.S. Here is dump of the main movie title from IfoEdit:

Hi!

What's the Title and Region number of the DVD?

[mycatsnameisbernie]

It is this DVD: http://www.amazon.com/Puccini-Turandot-Forbidden-Frittoli-Fiorentino/dp/B00000IBVC

It is US, NTSC, region 1, but was rendered region-free by the ripper.

Thanks for the help!

So next, I used the method described here: http://forum.digital-digest.com/showthread.php?t=60724 to convert the separate titles output by DVDShrink into a single title. This method uses VobEdit’s “join clips” feature to create a title with one PGC with one chapter per cell, then uses IfoEdit to recreate the IFOs, and finally a mock strip cleans everything up. Since I didn’t care about the Act 1,2,3 stills, I only used PGC 1, 3, 5, and 7.Instead, a cleaner, surer, and simpler method is to use the "Join" feature of DVD2One (commercial software) - set to "Seamless" mode.


Now things start to get really weird. If you look at the times for PGC 1,3,5,7 below, you will see they add up to 1:56:58. However, VLC shows the length of my joined clips to be 2:06:28.Not to worry. For whatever reason, VLC often shows loger total time than that of the actual DVD (or other video)...

Instead, a cleaner, surer, and simpler method is to use the "Join" feature of DVD2One (commercial software) - set to "Seamless" mode.I am having a problem using DVD2One on this video: The 1st PGC has no subtitles, but the others do. DVD2One won't let me join them seamlessly unless I turn off the subtitiles in the other PGC's. Is there a way around this?

Thanks for the help!

Not that I know of. However:

Would you please be good enough to explain why, if the PGCs are all part of the same performance, why/how could one not have subttiles, while the others do?

Would you please be good enough to explain why, if the PGCs are all part of the same performance, why/how could one not have subttiles, while the others do? This DVD is an Opera. The first PGC is the introduction and credits. There is no dialog, just music. The remaining PGCs contain the performance.

Is there a tool I could use to add a dummy subtitle to the first PGC, thereby making DVD2One happy?

Thanks so much for your help!

Is there a tool I could use to add a dummy subtitle to the first PGC, thereby making DVD2One happy?No simple way of which I'm aware.

I'd suggest that you use DVD2One to do the following:

1) Seamless join of all performance PGCs EXCEPT the "Intro and Credits" (This will become your "Title 2" after performing the next step)

2) Then do a NON-seamless join of the "Intro and Credits" and the newly created "Title 2"

This should create a DVD that automatically starts with the "Intro and Credits" and proceeds to the chapterized performance.

The only thing you won't be able to do is, once in the performance chapters, go back to the "Intro and Credits" by selecting "Previous Chapter" (Depending upon your standalone player and its remote control, you may, however, be able to select "Title 1" or "Title 2")

**EDIT** Sorry, I just realized that I've lost sight of your original purpose of creating a single file that you could compress/convert...

No simple way of which I'm aware.[/B]I managed to cajole DVD2One into doing what I wanted.

There is something very strange about the first PGC on this DVD. I wasn't quite correct when I said it has no subtitles. None display when it plays. But DVD2One thinks it has subtitles, and gives my the list to select from. However, if I select any subtitle(s), DVD2One refuses to seamlessly add any of the other PGCs. The other PGCs did not exhibit this problem.

However, the following recepie worked:


Add first PGC
Don't select any subtitles
Do "Add Seamless Title" on remaining PGC's
Go back to first PGC and turn subtitles back on


I am happy now. Thanks so much for your help and for the referral to DVD2One!
