Strange problem with encoding.

[SiburNY]

I'm trying to encode DVD "Crime Spree". I ripped it with DVDDecryptor. In AutoGK I selected fixed width 640, AC3 sound, and target size 1399 (i want one big file). Then start encoding. It goes as always, no error occurs. However, final AVI has a problem: approximately at 45:40 I see frames from the beginning of the movie, audio goes on without any problem. It continues like this for 10 minutes, then picture restores as it should be. If I load VOB files and try to watch them, I don't have any problems.

If u need, I can cut that fragment where frames go out of order.

Thank you.

Hello, and welcome to the forum!

...I see frames from the beginning of the movie...

Are you using DVD Decrypter in IFO mode? From this description, you may be incorrectly using it in the default File mode.

[SiburNY]

No, I used it in IFO mode.

Added: Also I forgot to mention, that the moment where frames go out of order is in the middle of the second VOB file.

Added: In AutoGK I also specified "DVD input".

[len0x]

if you manually open vobs in DGIndex - what do you see? The same out of order frames or not?

[SiburNY]

I just opened VOB files in DGindex and they play fine, I don't see any problems.

Added: I cut off the segment, download it HERE (http://www.evton.us/temp/segment.avi)

[len0x]

wicked... that means that DGDecode has some issues. Nic might be able to have a look at it if you can provide him with the VOB files in DVD2AVI forum...

[SiburNY]

Yesterday I also tried different parameters. I selected width: 560, sound: cbr 128, and target size: 1CD. The result was the same.

Unfortunately, I don't have DVD right now, so I can't re-decrypt it.
