Golden Gun transcoding failure.

[mpb]

Hi folks,

I am wondering if I just have a bad original disc here. Any shared experience or suggestions are welcome.

I am trying to back up Bond #9: The Man With The Golden Gun.

It rips and strips fine and it's just BARELY too big - 4.55gigs. So I have to transcode down and I figure 90% or so will work.

With rempeg, halfway through it does the fatal error thign and the log says "invalid macroblock - bad macroblock command - error".

With tmpg and CCE it just locks up and stops - possibly at the same point. It's hard to tell exactly.

My original TMWTGG DVD doesn't have any obvious scratches. It is a fairly old release as DVDs go - maybe the layer change was not handled well back in the beginning?

When I play the transcoded file it's all jumpy and messed up, not at all smooth and clean like most transcoded m2v's.

Thanks for any help you can offer...

MPB,

You need to verify the VOB files are the exact same as the ones on the DVD. So, run a MD5 checksum against both the originals and the ripped files, if they differ them there was a error in the rip to the drive. Also, what did you use to rip it down? You should of got an error in the rip process. Also, defrag the target drive before the rip.
