Hi, I'm working on a couple of NTSC DVDs, and even with the latest version of transcode (ver. 1.0.3), I'm getting conflicting framerate readings from tcprobe.
When I run tcprobe on the DVD ("tcprobe -H 100 -i /dev/dvd"), I get the following: [tcprobe] summary for /dev/dvd, (*) = not default, 0 = not detected import frame size: -g 720x480 [720x576] (*) aspect ratio: 16:9 (*) frame rate: -f 23.976 [25.000] frc=1 (*) audio track: -a 0 [0] -e 48000,16,2 [48000,16,2] -n 0x2000 [0x2000] audio track: -a 1 [0] -e 48000,16,2 [48000,16,2] -n 0x2000 [0x2000] audio track: -a 2 [0] -e 48000,16,2 [48000,16,2] -n 0x2000 [0x2000] Even after using tccat and running tcprobe on the mpegpes video, tcprobe still reports a framerate of 23.976. However, when I use transcode, and pass it "-f 23.976,1" or even "-f 24,1" or "-f 24,2", it is unable to convert the video. mplayer, on the other hand, reports a framerate of 29.970 reading from both the DVD and from the tccat'd MPEG file. mplayer output: MPEG-PS file format detected.

Is this a bug in transcode? If so, what can I / we do to fix it? -- Richi
