Could you test my dvd2avi & with your transport streams?

@kindred: It cant demux the stream, normally that would occur if the PID entered was wrong, but I cant think what it would be with yours. Could you send a small section to me? or upload it somewhere?

heh I feel a bit of an idiot.. :)

I just noticed that you've listed the PIDs to enter with audio first, then video. I'm so used to putting video, then audio that I didn't even read the labels that closely and just assumed thats what it was asking for. Do US systems broadcast the audio pid before the video pid?

Putting audio PID first and video last as it should be worked correctly, even for my huge 3GB TS stream :)

Can't wait for this new dvd2avi to be completely done - this will save me so much time.

On a side note, the normal DVD2AVI I use (1.76 that comes with DVD2SVCD) always incorrectly calculates the audio offset by 0.080ms - is this a known bug? A friend has tried it too with some of his UK DVB streams and he too always has to adjust by 0.080ms.

No, it shows a box of the right domensions but no video.

Nic,

After frustratingly figuring out that I was putting the wrong PID's in place, your dvd2avi is working fine with MyHD capture files. That being said I've had random crashes on XP if the TP has more than two streams(our local affil likes to put the weather map on the second PID set).

Also when loaded the video displays a green bar across the top, this doesn't carry through to an external compression program(vdub, ndub, cce, etc..), and File->Exit doesn't work.

As a feature request, is there any way to get your crop to work on the 1/4th res display? Cropping/Resizing 1920x1088 video on a 1024x768 display is a bit tough.

Nic,

After also figuring out the PIDs it works GREAT.

Crashes occasionally but otherwise works well. Would be nice if it would remember TRANSPORT STREAM and PID :)

Do you have a new release?

Nic,

Is the ac3 demuxing busted? How do you get it to rip an AC3 track consistantly?

Also the AC3 track (when it works) does not have the audio offset.

So I have been using TRBarry's version to rip the ac3 and yours to get the dv2 created.

[jrmann1999]

TRbarry has a dvd2avi? want to post a link to the thread/site for this? I can use nic's to demux ac3 and it seems to work fine tho of course it doesn't print the offset so it's useless to me.

"TRbarry has a dvd2avi?"

Mine are just test binaries of the save-oe Sourceforge project. They do have support for HDTV streams but the video and audio pid's must first be specified in the DVD2AVI.ini file.

www.trbarry.com/MPEG2DEC2.zip (no support for YV12 or Avisynth 2.5alpha)

I'm a little unclear on what the purpose of this new DVD2AVI is? the trbarry version already handles HDTV transport streams, outputs ac3 with the delay in the filename, and although editing the ini file seems a bit inelegant at first, I find it handier to have an assortment of ini files to copy in for each broadcast source I use as opposed to doing it through the UI with no persistence from session to session.

Is there some advantage or new development I'm missing here?

[Nic]

Well, er, yeah, what do you think all the other features are for, (filters, resizing, twopass, etc). obviously when I finish it, it will save all the settings (actually the most recent version gets the PIDs for you :) )

@sjchmura: what problems were you having with AC3, did it sound right when demuxed?

-Nic

[sjchmura]

Thanks for the reply nic. I was NOT complaining - just letting you know

The AC3 sounds fine. However, there is no OFFSET. Also, you have to (at least it seems) save the DV2 file THEN go back and save the AC3 file. In the other version but the D2V file and Ac3 are saved at the same time.

TRBarry's version saves the audio offset so I know what to use in AC3Fix.exe :)

[Nic]

Oh good glad it sounds ok :) Like an idiot I added the delay finding code and then forgot to output it.doh. Ive stopped working on it at the minute but ill finish it off soon. trying to take a break from coding for a while :)

[sjchmura]

If I sent you $5 or I promised to answer any cancer related question you might have would you finish it :)

Best
