Maestro: imported M2V only 00:00:00:01 sec. long

[SoniC]

Hi,
I'm trying to reauthor RC2 Slayers DVD, but I'm facing
some difficulties. Whenever I import the demuxed
m2v's into Maestro, it shows only a length of 00:00:00:01.
The demuxed m2v seems to be fine in VirtualDubMod, but
TMPeg has the same problem as Maestro.
I tried demuxing by VobID already and with demuxing with different programs:
Vobrator, VOBEdit, DVD Decryptor
All without any luck.
I also tried fixing the GOP Time Code in DVD Lab
(which has no issues with the m2v at all) but again
without any luck.
Any help would be much appreciated since I want to avoid
reencoding the movie at all cost.

Well, in the meantime I found a workaround for this issue.
I did cut the first frame with MPEG-VCR, and then it was
working. Sure, the subs and audio is now async by 40ms
(1/25 sec) but I doubt this can be noticed at all.
Anyway, I'm still wondering why the m2v stream was not
working.
Neither demuxing by VobID nore CellID did produce any
working stream.
If someone can come up with a solution for this, I would
be glad to hear it.

There is a program called ReStream (http://www.sysh.net/restream.html) that allows you to change the attributes of .m2v files including timestamps. You might want to give it a try.

Thanks,
after removing the Sequence end codes with restream it was accepted by maestro as well.
