DVDDecrypter - Demuxing- Time = 0:00 on M2V

[digitalman]

This may sound like a dumb question, but I never ran into this issue before:

Under IFO mode, which setting would cause a demuxed M2V file to show 0:00 time for the entire file. It will not even play in an MPEG2 player because of this. I checked all the Remove "" boxes under settings for IFO Mode, so I am wondering which one would cause this. When I add it to DVDLab it shows 0:00 as the time and it will not add chapters. If I run pulldown on it, the time is corrected and chapters can be set, but the audio is totally out of sync on the final authored DVD. I know I should just use the default settings, but if I do not check all the boxes under File mode, on certain DVDs, I can't skip through the DVD when I play it from the hard drive, unless I fast forward. Thanks for your help.

p.s. This has happened on two DVDs, since I changed settings.

What version of the program are you running?

Try setting it back to the default settings via the 'Defaults' button.
Oh and if that fails, uncheck the 'patch m2v timecode' option on the IFO tab in the settings.

I think I know what the issue is. I forgot I was running a demo of AnyDVD. In one of your posts, you said AnyDVD could cause problems if run at the same time as DVDDecrypter, and it looks like it has.

What does the patch M2V timecode do? Something for the CCE 01:00:00:00 issue? I got the same error without AnyDVD running when demuxing the M2V file in 3.1.7. The total time was showing as 0:00 when I added it to DVDLab and would not play in any player. When I unchecked the patch M2V timecode box and ran DVDDecrypter again it did not work, and the time length of the video was showing zero. Also, when I encode the 0:00 time M2V file in CCE Basic, it comes out fine with the correct time when added to DVDLab, and is able to be played in any player.

If anyone is interested, the problem is DVDLab, not DVDDecrypter.
