dvdunauthor: possible bug when having "NoVTS_TMAPT available - skipping"

Arnaud Mouiche — 2013-05-21T12:41:22

hello,

I'm using dvdunauthor for demuxing a DVD so my kids can watch the 
different episode of their cartoon on a tablet (I thanks the authors for 
the only tool I found for this task when multiple episodes are mixed in 
one DVD when opening and ending of each episode are split ...)

Today, it failed with the following trace (I'm using ubuntu 12.04).

Re: VIDEO_TS.IFO is always NTSC?

Jaime — 2013-05-20T21:42:33

I get a very similar problem on Debian Wheezy (which reports dvdauthor
version 0.7.0-1.1+b2):

I'm using the following control file:

<dvdauthor dest="outputdir">
  <vmgm />
  <titleset>
    <titles>
      <video format="pal" aspect="16:9" />
      <pgc>
        <vob file="video.mpg" />
      </pgc>
    </titles>
  </titleset>
</dvdauthor>

If I run:
export VIDEO_FORMAT="pal" ; dvdauthor -x dvdauthor.xml
then I get 5 files: VIDEO_TS.BUP, VIDEO_TS.IFO, VTS_01_0.BUP, VTS_01_0.IFO
and VTS_01_1.VOB. Checking these 5 files with mediainfo returns:

$ mediainfo * | egrep "name|aspect|Standard"
Complete name                            : VIDEO_TS.BUP
Display aspect ratio                     : 4:3
Standard                                 : NTSC
Complete name                            : VIDEO_TS.IFO
Display aspect ratio                     : 4:3

DVD Flick Would someone please help me. I am new to this application. Everything has been going smoothly. I downloaded a couple movies from YIFY and burned them to disc. The audio sinc is lagging the video on each movie I burned. Can you tell me my options? I've redownloaded the software and will be burning and reburning a movie tonight but I won't have a dvd player to watch it until next Thursday at the earliest. Such is life. If anyone can give me some advice or options to try, I would greatly appreciate this. I'm disabled. My mother and I get together once a week to have dinner and watch a movie. It's about the only thing we have left. Please help us. Mark

Re: VIDEO_TS.IFO is always NTSC?

Tintwotin tintwotin — 2013-05-13T13:46:53

Another yet related question:

In attempt to just have one titleset(and avoiding having a wrong format of
the first titleset) I tried this:

<dvdauthor>
         <vmgm />
         <titleset>
             <titles>
                 <pgc>
                     <vob file="C:\Users\user\Desktop\EFC
test\MVI_4994.mpg"/>
                 </pgc>
             </titles>
         </titleset>
</dvdauthor>

This creates only one titleset which reads PAL/NTSC correctly in MediaInfo,
however the 3 resulting files are called VTS_01_0.BUP, VTS_01_0.IFO,
VTS_01_0.VOB, which means that standalone players can't start the dvd
because they look for VIDEO_TS.BUP, VIDEO_TS.IFO, VIDEO_TS.VOB.

So the question for me is how should the XML look for a simple pal dvd
which plays in standalones?

VIDEO_TS.IFO is always NTSC?

tin2tin — 2013-05-13T07:27:20

I'm using dvdauthor 0.7.1 on windows(build from 20. of Aug.), and I'm very
puzzled why VIDEO_TS.IFO is NTSC when checking it with MediaInfo, even
though I use an XML file like this:

<dvdauthor format="pal">
         <vmgm />
         <titleset>
             <titles>
                 <video format="PAL" aspect="4:3"/>

                     <vob file="C:\Users\user\Desktop\MVI_4993.mpg"/>
                 </pgc>
             </titles>
         </titleset>
</dvdauthor>

The created VTS_01_0.IFO and VTS_01_1.VOB are PAL.

Re: Cell commands

Lawrence D'Oliveiro — 2013-04-05T02:56:24


No, this is a limitation of the DVD-Video spec itself. If you look at
the detailed instruction layouts at
<http://dvdnav.mplayerhq.hu/dvdinfo/vmi.html>, you will see that a
conditional JumpTT instruction (the green line below the
NOP/Exit/Jump/Call lines) only allows both operands being compared to be
registers, there is no option for comparing a register to a literal
value. Comparing a register to a literal is only allowed for goto/link
instructions (top two green blocks) and conditional-set instructions
(bottom green block in that top table). So dvdauthor compiles your
statement above to multiple instructions (using a goto), which will not
fit into a cell command.

The only way around this is to set up your own manual redirect—perhaps
instead of trying to jump directly to title 1, you jump to another cell
which contains an unconditional “jump title 1” command. This might be a
dummy cell that shows a fraction of a section of a black screen, or
something.

You’re not the first to be baffled by the

Lawrence D'Oliveiro — 2013-04-04T05:23:05


Thanks to Jean-Pierre for providing the sample file that triggered this
error. I have investigated it, and determined it terminates with a
truncated VOBU, consisting of just a NAV pack and nothing else. The
last part of an mpeg2desc dump looks like this:

032e7000: mpeg2 pack hdr, 94.653 sec
032e700e: system header; length=18
032e7026: pes private2, PCI; length=980
032e7400: pes private2, DSI; length=1018

In short, this is a malformed input file. It can be very easily
converted to a valid file, by passing it through FFmpeg, e.g.:

ffmpeg -i <input-file> -target pal-dvd -acodec copy -vcodec copy <output-file>

The above assertion failure arises from dvdauthor trying to guess at a
value for the missing time in the nonexistent VOBU contents, and coming
up with an inconsistent answer. I have changed the code to display more
information, including the offset of the offending sector within the
input file at which such problems are found. The output from dvdauthor
now looks like this:

STAT: Processing VTS_08_1.

Re: DVD freezes on last frame

Lawrence D'Oliveiro — 2013-01-29T02:49:49


I don’t think there’s any such thing as “stopping” a DVD disc once it
starts. If you want to return to a menu, you need to put one in and end
the title with a transfer to that. If you want a black screen, you need
to put in video that shows that.

Hello,

if I specify conditional cell command such as "if (g0 == 1) jump title 1;", I get error
     ERR:  Cell command can only compile to one VM instruction.
But some other software (e.g. DVDReMake) supports cell conditional commands.
And I also didn't find this restriction at

Is it possibly a bug in dvdauthor?

Cheers,

help authoring dvd

Rick C. — 2013-01-23T05:55:49

Hi,

I was using dvdauthor in the past and never remember having much of a problem.  I used this for simple dvd:

mkdir DVD && export VIDEO_FORMAT=NTSC && dvdauthor -o DVD --title -f input.vob && dvdauthor -o DVD -T

But I notice recently it seems to not autoplay (or play at all) in many players and I'm not sure what went wrong?  Unless this started happening with the release of Mountain Lion (I'm using Mac) I'm not sure also?  Can someone tell me if anything looks wrong with my command line?  The structure created and everything appears to be just fine and no errors are generated, but still having this autoplay issue.  Thanks!

Hi,

When I launch my vob file using VLC, I heard sound, and I see video.
The .vob file comes from a dvd of a personal video (from a video recorder).

If it can help you, I can share a .vob file (45 Mb), witch I have the problem.
Note also, that I use DVDStyle (that use dvdauthor). First, I open a bug here : http://sourceforge.net/p/dvdstyler/bugs/503/ 

Note also, that I have the same behavior this a .vob file from a commercial dvd.
DvdAuthor.exe display 0.7.1 version.


My original problem is simple : I have on DVD1 2 videos (A and B), and on DVD2 2 videos (C and D), and I need to create a new DVD with videos A and C.

Source video DVD :
- DVD1 : A & B
- DVD2 : C & D
Wanted output (video DVD) : 
- DVD3 : A & C

But i don't want to lose video quality. So I try to not reencode video...
Thanks for advance for your help...
