Still, my main goal is to encode my own DVDs. If I've created a DVD by just pressing record, it seems these DVDs can't be read by FFMpeg/Mencoder. However, if I've made a DVD by the recorder's direct dubbing feature (copying VHS->DVD), then it works (this is the actually a disc I've just tested now with FFMpeg and Mencoder).

I'm a little confused, are you taking about the physical DVD? Or are you taking about the file format? If you are taking about the physical DVD then copy across the files first or try a different DVD medium. If you are taking about the file format then check to see if you can't change how your DVD recorder records its recording. eg My DVD recorder can record audio in PCM (default) or Mp3 (needs to be selected) The video is always MPeg.

Or maybe I am way off the track and therefore, do not worry

The file format. I have tried copying the .VOB files across with PeeVOBill, and while DVPlayer can play them FFMpeg cannot read the video stream.

That's really strange, I for one transferred (for example) princess bride across from a commerical dvd joined it up to the size of 6.7 gig vob file and ffmpeg could read it just fine. Trouble is it wouldn't support the sound stream but I could encode into another video format with no sound, tested it after a few minutes.

And this was on my A4000ClassicPPC

Guess we all need to wait for the new releases of FFMPeg and Mencoder

You have a funny definition of "Soon".
For you this is tomorrow !!!

Great. I will test it.

I am using Kcon: but renamed it to CON:

So ffmpegui does not see that I use it because the KCON assign.

Must I rename CON to KCON and change all the calls to shell (in shell.info) ?

Nice job for your both.

"Soon" was tomorrow becuase I heard from Andrea and Peter and stayed up until 2:30am to complete the documentation and testing. I didn't expect it to be that soon myself.

Hmm....in this case, what happens if you don't enable the USE_KINGCON tooltype? Does it use KingCon in that case?

I believe I specifically open either KCON: or CON: depending on the tooltype and fall back to CON: if KCON: has an error while opening.

I wrote my post too fast.

Yes I disabled the option and of course it uses CON (and for me KCON).

I test a little with a DVD and it works.

I continue my tests with a big file.

Thanks again

Thanks everybody, I seem to have made a major breakthrough!

I've discovered that it was DVD+Rs that were giving me the problem. I can rip OK from DVD-Rs. I can also rip from DVD+RWs, but it's problematic: if I record more than one programme on a disc, FFMpeg can only "see" part of each one. Again, the disc plays fine, it's FFMpeg that has the difficulty.

I wonder if my Asus DVD drive is not 100% compatible with the +R format? Or maybe it's FFMpeg that's incompatible? Can someone have a go and let me know the results?

Thanks.

Despite what recorders "say" they do, -R is the native format of most all recorders.
