View Full Version : ReMPEG2 Generates Fast MPEG-2 Files

I'm having a problem with ReMPEG2 (v1.5.2) generating MPEG-2 files from VOB files and the MPEG-2 files play back far too fast. In one test the VOB was 369 seconds in length and the resulting MPEG-2 file was only 295 seconds long! I've already posted on a couple boards and no one has even replied to my message, I don't know if this problem is unique to me or if people prefer another application to reduce the size of VOB files. I've tested on 2 different machines, one running XP and another running 98-SE and 2 different media and I get the same results. I just don't get what I could possibly be doing wrong here. Can someone who uses ReMPEG2 tell me what their results are? Do you ever get an MPEG-2 file of the same duration as the VOB file? Is there a newer version of ReMPEG2 out there?


When I insert the split audio and video files generated with ReMPEG2 into MyDVD, the app interpretes them as I see them, the audio runs at normal speed and the video runs too fast. I don't get it, aside from adjusting the bitrate, the only other option I touch on the ReMPEG2 app is that I change Frame Mode from Progressive Only to Match Source.

Thanks for any advice

Im pretty sure this isnt the right forum for you question. At the same time, im not sure which one is! Probably one of the DVDR forums?

I think I found my problem, I somehow have Ligos MPEG decoders installed on my system. I suppose it was included with one of the packages I installed with my Pioneer A03 drive. I assumed that I still had my CineMaster decoders handling all my MPEG-2 streams but this Ligos decoder was being picked up by DShow instead. When I forced the file to run with CineMaster's video decoder I was able to determine that the speed was correct and the decoder (using a registry setting) was decoding the video at the proper frame rate.

Guess that's one mystery down!
