  1. Hi everybody.

    I have demux a m2v file from a DVD. I can import it into DVD maestro but i can't import the chapter list cause the timecode don't start to 0 or maybe it becomes 0 during the middle of the movie.

    Someone can explain to me how i can put the timecode to 0 with restream?
    I have already try with pulldown (pulldown source.m2v output.m2v -pulldown) but the output was not the same size (less) than the original

    So i have try with restream ( i have put the First Time Gop Sequence to 0h 0s 0m 0 f ). The output is exactly the same size as the input file so i though that it was correct but i have the same error in dvd maestro when i try to import chapter file

    Maybe i don't use the good option in Restream?

    Help me please

    Have a good day

    If the video is mixed NTSC/Film then neither of those programs
    will work correctly. Pulldown either adds or deletes pulldown flags -
    it won't leave them as they were. Restream changes timecodes
    as if there were no pulldown flags.

    Where did you get the chapter list ? Look at the times in that, and maybe
    change them.

    Its' possible that pulldown might do it if you use it without the GUI.
    I'll check.

  5. Thx for helping me.

    The chapter list come from chapter extractor (create from the IFO of the DVD rip on my hard disk)
    And i use the correct format: DVD Maestro.

    I have try pulldown without the GUI:

    i have tried: pulldown.exe source.m2v output.m2v -nopulldown
    But as i said before, at last, my output is smaller (in size) than the source

    I don't understand why...

    You probably ran out of space on your HD. PULLDOWN does NOTHING - let me repeat that, NOTHING, to your file size.

    How much smaller ? If you view it , are the last frames the same ?

  8. Yes, i have enough space on my hard disk...

    And yes, i think i have the same first and last frame cause i can see the begining and the ending credit..

    I can't check all of this now cause i'm at my job, but i sure that i say is right . (98% sure )
    But i will check in 3 hours!

  9. Ok, you have right. It was because i haven't enough place on my hard disk :P
    Sorry.

    So i make a new pulldown:

    Code:
    pulldown.exe source.m2v output.m2v -nopulldown
    And i have the same size for the source and output.


    But i have the same message in dvdmaestro when i try to import the chapter list

    Code:
    ---------------------------
    Error Message
    ---------------------------
    I-Frame Insertion entry frame rate is not consistent with current tape frame rate!  I-Frame import will be canceled. (0xc102008b)
    ---------------------------

    I open the m2v file in Vdub here's the file information:
    122670 frames -> 1:25:16
    fps: 23.976

    And in dvd maestro the frame rate is 29.97 DROP

    And the chapter list that i have extract from the dvd with chapter extractor:

    Code:
    $Spruce_IFrame_List

    if your mpeg2 doesnt start at 0 time , just right click on the maestro time code line and change it from asset based timecode to 0 based timecode

  11. Thx for your post too but the problem is here yet

    BUT, i have find an interessant text on another webpage: It's a piece of text of this website (i find it on google): http://dvdguides.trilight.net/

    Code:
    Maestro Tips
    
    PROBLEM: Receiving an "I-Frame Insertion entry frame rate is not consistent with current tape frame rate! I-Frame import will be cancelled." error when importing chapters.
    
    SOLUTION: Chapter locations always fall on an "I-frame". As such, an I-frame must actually exist at the time referenced in your *.chp file. When there is no I-frame at that location, the error is returned and the chapters are not imported. If you're following the Maestro guide, you should have your non-drop clip on the timeline for chapter import. Don't forget to replace this with the drop-frame clip later! (See following tip)
    
     
    
    PROBLEM: Subtitles are fine at first but then they get progressively out of sync. About 1 second after 30min., 2 sec after an hour and about 4 seconds by the end of my 2 hour movie!!
    
    SOLUTION: This is a drop-frame problem. You probably tried importing your subs while the non-drop clip was still on the timeline. Even if you replace it afterwards, the subs have already been imported as non-drop and they will be wrong. You must import your subtitles while the drop-frame clip is on the timeline.
    So i think that i must have my mpg2 file "non drop" in order to import the chapter..
    So, can i create a mpg2 file "NON DROP frame" in a mpg2 file "DROP frame" with a soft like restream or pulldown ?

    that is an encoding option .. i dont think you an change it later (i may be wrong) .. film source should be non drop frame and interlaced source should be drop frame (generally speaking - there are exceptions) , non drop frame may de-sync your audio ..

  13. Ok.

    I have tried to import the same movie, but an encoded version that i have make.
    So i was abled to import the chapters!
    after that, i have deleted the movie in order to add the "normal movie", the one that i have demux from the dvd (the drop frame version)

    and it's working... But it's not very easy cause i must encode the movie with NON DROP FRAME JUST for import the chapters , but it's working..

    Thx!!
