View Full Version : vob2audio won't work with files extracted with DVDDecrypter

Hi.

I just started to use DVDDecrypter instead of SmartRipper for my rips (since it comes with the latest GKnot) and I have found out that the output files cannot be opened with vob2audio.

Vob2audio needs an .lst file (which is normally created by SmartRipper but not DVDDecrypter), so I created the .lst file manually. However, when I tried to open it with vob2audio, I got the following message :

Ligos Spliter seems to miss an audiostream. Use the Audio-vob option in SmartRipper ! or use VobTools to delete first segment.

The .lst file I manually created looks like this :

e:\Aenigma\vts_01_1.vob
e:\Aenigma\vts_01_2.vob
e:\Aenigma\vts_01_3.vob
e:\Aenigma\vts_01_4.vob

I think its a valid .lst file, so I don't know why vob2audio can't open it.

Why does that happen ?

Thanks in advance for any help.

P.S. : I know that there are better options out there for sound decoding (i.e. BeSweet) but I prefer to work with vob2audio, so please don't tell me to use other programs for the audio decoding.

This error-message has nothing to do with DVDDecrypter or your list-file.

This error is a bug in the Ligos-Splitter, which is used by vob2audio.
This Ligos-Splitter 1.3.0.81 (mpeg2parser.ax) only searches 0,5 MB into the vobs for audio-streams. If it doesn't find all audio-streams, then the number is different from the number which is calculated from the ifo-file by the little tool 'streams.exe'.

You can fix this Bug, if you patch the Ligos-Splitter, so that it seeks more deeply into the vobs, such as 25 MB.

You should also update the 'streams.exe' to Version 2.6.9 or 2.7.0.

All fixes are included into an Installshield-Installer of vob2audio, which I made on 05.05.2002.

----------

Here is the Patch :

Offset 0x 266d (hex) = 9837 (decimal) :
08 00 change to 90 01

----------

I also made a little Ligos-Splitter Patcher, so you can set other seek-sizes.

P.S. mail me at mpeg2hq@lycos.de if you can't do the patch or if you can't find the tools or the Installer.
