RE: [dvd::rip] avbi file only 2056 kb

Sorry, I noticed I actually replied to the wrong email.  There were 2
separate suggestions:

1. Restrict the encoding to starting at frame 25.
I tried this (see post below), it did not change anything.  Not sure
what it was supposed to do, though.

2. Put a '*' or a .vob file name in for the '-i' switch for transcode.
I tried a '*' first, I got errors doing that due the the shell
interpolating the '*'.  
[transcode] warning : unused command line parameter detected (30/33)
[transcode] warning :
argc[30]=/data/media/dvdrip/cody1/vob/001/cody1-002.vob (unused)
[transcode] warning :
argc[31]=/data/media/dvdrip/cody1/vob/001/cody1-003.vob (unused)
[transcode] warning :
argc[32]=/data/media/dvdrip/cody1/vob/001/cody1-004.vob (unused)

So then, I tried replacing the '*' with the first vob file name:
cd /data/media/dvdrip/cody1/tmp && nice -n 18 transcode -H 10 -a 0 -x
vob -i /data/media/dvdrip/cody1/vob/001/cody1-001.vob -w 1485,50 -c
25-146924 -F mpeg4 -b 128,0,2 --a52_drc_off -f 25 -Y 46,8,42,8 -Z
640x360 -R 2 -y ffmpeg -o /data/media/dvdrip/cody1/avi/001/cody1-001.avi
--print_status 20

Unfortunately, this resulted in the same exact situation as using '-i
/data/media/dvdrip/cody1/vob/001', which is that I wound up with a 2056
byte file.  Note that I am not receiving the "file read error" as is
mentioned in the post.

So, if no one has any feedback that my transcode switches might be the
issue, then I supposed I'll try posting this on the transcode-users
list.

Thanks very much,
David.

P.S.  Sorry to highlight your poor customer service skills, Joern.  ;-)

Thanks for the tip, unfortunately, this did not work for me.  I still
wind up with a 2056 byte (not 2056 Kb) avi file.  And I never get the
status indicator that prints the status every 20 frames, by the way.
The command I used was (I put the frame range into the dvd::rip gui, and
used the debug -> transcode commands):

cd /data/media/dvdrip/cody1/tmp && nice -n 18 transcode -H 10 -a 0 -x
vob -i /data/media/dvdrip/cody1/vob/001 -w 1485,50 -c 25-146924 -F mpeg4
-b 128,0,2 --a52_drc_off -f 25 -Y 46,8,42,8 -Z 640x360 -R 2 -y ffmpeg -o
/data/media/dvdrip/cody1/avi/001/cody1-001.avi --print_status 20

Hi Jorn

i have the same problem as in the last opened thread...
"probably a transcode issue..."
i have already described the proble in my thread "unable to
transcode....and other problems...2 i have opened this thread but i have
not abtained any answer...
also for me the first pass run fine...
but if i run the second pass of i request dvdrip to run a first pass
only encoding..
i get as output an .avi file only 2056 kb size...
also for me the two pass encoding ..the first pass runs but in the
second pass when i tryes to write to the avi files...it first try to
look at the input vob directory..but it take this error
"[fileinfo.c:118] file read error: Is a directory the same if i run a
single pass..


please take a look to my thread...
unable to transcode from file and other problems, the proble is
transcode unable to look into the input vob directory i described the
same proble but i get no answer...instead the other obtained an
immediate answer...!!
i already described the problem and where to modify the source...
please if you instruct us to add the complete filename in the input vob
directory or to add an asterisk..then it fucnctions..
i have already verified this running transcode with a line command...
thanks in advance
Maurizio
