New DVD2SVCD v1.08 B1 ---> Audio is too short....

[tivi]

Hi folks!

I tried the new version of D2S. I encoded a PVA sample.
Result: audio is missing at the end.
So I looked into the folder and examined
the extracted Audio:

xxxx.mpa -> correct lenght
xxxx.mp2 -> wrong (too short) length

Tried 48 kHz and 44.1 kHz. The result has been the same.
Too short.

Then I tried BeSweet v1.2 b6 and everything was fine!

Any Ideas?

i'm looking for Encoded_audio_1.log ...

[tivi]

I found out the following. Don't know if that is pure chance......

Audio length File 1: [00:05:19:680]
BeSweet v1.3b9 Audio length: [00:05:06:960]

Ratio: 1,041


Audio length File 2: [00:01:32:160]
BeSweet v1.3b9 Audio length: [00:01:28:416]

Ratio: 1,042



And now: Pal 25framespersec / NTSC 23,976 framespersec = 1,042


Just chance??



Here are the results of the german jury:

i believe the bug is with mpglib.dll.
can you upload the first sample someplace so i can test it ?

another issue, if you have time..
try to transcode with v1.3b9 using the mpglib.dll supplied within v1.2.

[tivi]

1st Sample is about 180M.....too big......

I will test your suggestion tomorrow!

I have to go to bed now - it's late......


cu

tivi

[DSPguru]

upload the shortest...

[tivi]

Hi DSPguru!


So - finished the test, but supplied mpglib.dll within
DVD2SVCD v1.07 build 4 is the same supplied within
DVD2SVCD v1.08 build 1: v2.00......??

Nevertheless I did the test:
no improvement.....

Then I noticed, that MP2enc.dll supplied within BeSweet v1.3b9
is never than MP2enc.dll supplied within BeSweet v1.2b6:
v1.129 > v1.12.

So, I did a test with the older one:
no improvement.....


Finally, I tested every possibility interchanging the supplied dlls.
no improvement.....


The only thing that works for me: BeSweet v1.2b6.....


It is a little bit strange, that noone else reports
the same prob........

A friend of mine has the same problem. He called me
and gave me report on this phenomenon. I installed the newest
version of DVD2SVCD and confirmed his observation.

So, what can we do now?

cu

tivi

[DSPguru]

problem is only with mpa inputs, right ?

[tivi]

yes! I did some tests - only mpa!

[tivi]

DSPguru, no news?

cu


tivi

[DSPguru]

sorry, tivi, didn't find the problem yet.
v1.3b9 and v1.2 gives the same length outputs here..

i'll keep tracking it and update you !

[tivi]

Thank you very much!

tivi

[tivi]

By the way - I could do an upload of an *.mpa file
which is transcoded wrongly. Appr. 8 MB..

You know a place?

cu

tivi

[DSPguru]

it would be great. any1 can help hosting this ?

[DSPguru]

@tivi
please retry with v1.3b11.

[tivi]

OK. Will try.....
