I've looked into the .d2v file smartripper generated... I think the problem of wrong time is because it thinks the dvd is 25fps

The second thing I found about Smartripper's d2v, is the Luminance setting...

Luminance_Filter=0,0 <-- correct
Luminance=128,0 <-- wrong

the missing "_Filter" caused application to crash on loading the wrong header. The luminance gamma suppose to be 0 as well (The result d2v file of smart ripper becomes too bright)

Hi-

I don't know this first hand, as I've never used it, but it's said that the .d2vs generated from Smart Ripper are not so good. Have you tried a different version of DVD2AVI, such as the one included with GKnot?

[hayami]

but a d2v file is just a signpost file to tell VFAPI about the source file and how to process it, therefore if it's written correctly it should be the same as the one as dvd2avi. But the problem now is the d2v file written is incorrect and cause other program to crash when reading this d2v (i.e. aviutl, Tmpgenc..etc)

Why I'm using SmartRipper to generate Smartripper to make d2v is to skip the step of dvd2avi (and saving at least 10 minutes) where it can do what dvd2avi can do

1. rip dvd from smartripper -> generate d2v, demux audio stream to ac3
2. read d2v and compress avi
3. compress ac3 to ogg/mp3
4. mux audio and video
================================================================
just read the dvd2avi forum for some more info on d2v...
the d2v structure has changed in dvd2avi 1.77 and therefore the d2v file made by Smartripper is obsoleted. (But the only change is just the Luminace -> Luminace Filter (Gain -> Gamma)

However, the framerate Smartripper report is still incorrect.
