Hello,
I'm attempting to transcode some DVDs that have been created on various
different DVD recorders. I'm converting the DVDs to wmv2 codec in avi
container using 2 pass encoding. Most of the DVDs I've done have worked
fine but all the DVDs that come from on particular recorder (Panasonic LQ
MD800) result in a bad avi file:
www.nowhere.ca/test.avi
Here's the commands I am using (I don't need the audio track):
Pass1:
transcode -H 1024 -a 0 -T 1,1,1 -i /temp/dvdsource/
-w 9000,50 -F wmv2 -b 128,0,2 --a52_drc_off -f 30,4 -M 0 -Z 720x480 -R
1,/tmp/pass1.log -y
ffmpeg,null -o /dev/null
Pass2:
transcode -H 1024 -a 0 -T 1,1,1 -i /win/temp/dvdsource/
-w 13000,50 -F wmv2 -b 128,0,2 --a52_drc_off -f 30,4 -M 0 -Z 720x480 -R
2,/tmp/pass1.log -y
ffmpeg,null -o test.avi
This is the tcprobe output from the source DVD:

I'm running this on Debian testing. I've tried the Debian package for
transcode v1.0.5rc4 from debian.multimedia.org and compiled transcode
v1.0.5 from source but I get the same results with both.
I've spent two days googling, searching list archives and trying different
command line settings but can't get DVDs from that recorder to work.
Am I missing something totally obvious?
Any assistance would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Keith.
