Hi - first time for me to post here...
I have been using transcode for about a year to (amongst many other
things) encode backups of DVDs to xvid for use on a portable hardware
player. This works very well, but with the following snag: when I rip
the dvd in chapter mode (using the -U flag), many of the individual avi
files don't start with a key frame.[...]
Looking at the sources I suspected from quite long time that this feature
was somewhat broken :\.
We'll fix this for 1.1.0 (and maybe for 1.0.3), since we're already
rediscussing how to handle multiple input.
Maybe there is also a solution/workaround using some options combo
but I sincerely don't know since I dont'use this feature :)
Best regards,
Ah, OK, thanks for checking. One reason why I was using chapter mode was
that transcode would exit if I used the standard -o flag sometime around
the and of the first chapter (on some discs, not all). This only seems
to happen when ripping direct from the disc - if I use vobcopy to copy
it then it seems OK, but I prefer to rip straight from the disk as my
hard disk always seems to be almost full ;-)
Another question: Can I use the log file from the first pass of a
two-pass encoding but change the target bitrate (-w) in the second pass?
thanks
guy
