Incomplete movie encoding

[CCEncoder]

Hi, I use DVD2SVCD, I'm trying to convert the first title of a dvd into SVCD which does kinnda successfully however the title1 of the movie is 1:06:30sec but the entire bbMPEG_Muxed_File00.mpg last 1:03:21!! and I can confirm that by watching the last seconds of the mpg! so what is going on? please advise.

[cw_uk]

in multiplexer tab of dvd2svcd change "movie offset seconds" to 0 that should get you back the 2 seconds.

Trying to guess.... (Please always :logfile: )

Seems you are doing a NTSC to PAL conversion, where the frame rate changes from 24 to 25 fps. this change is done "Assuming" the new rate in video and changing the pitch in audio.

The final movie has 24/25 times the length of the original.

24/25*(1:06:30) = 1:03:50, which is (more or less) the length you have.

jsoto Log file is too big, no this is a NTSC to NTSC, you don't need a log, this should be a standard issue.

Seems you are using One Pass OPV in CCE. This will produce a not accurated file size.

bbmpeg is cutting at 795 MB , so probably you are loosing some part of the movie.

Please check if
audio size : (Encoded_audio_1.mp2) Should be 91,5 MB (4003 secs at 192 kbit/s)
video size : (Pulldown_Encoded_Video_NTSC.mpv) from the disk free space in the log I'm calculating 742 MB or 718 MB (in pulldown)
EDIT: Using D2S calculated bitrate it should be 684 MB (1434 kbit x 4003 sec) [/EDIT]

audio size + video size should be lower than 795 MB, if not, bbmpeg will cut the multiplexed file. If this is the problem, change the CCE mode to multipass, or (better) use D2SRoBa.

Hmm.
The avs script includes the line...

Import("C:\Program Files\DVD2SVCD\Tylo\RoBaConditional.avs")

...suggesting you are using D2SRoBa. However, unless NTSC logs look different to PAL ones, this log doesn't look like D2SRoBa plugin was used. :confused:

If you are using RoBa plugin, try setting the oversize limit for the sizing pass to 0.0, so that if the video is even slightly oversized it will force an extra encoding pass to correct it.
