Problems creating VIDEO_TS

[veravera]

Hi,

I am quite new in using ffmpeg and have a question.

I am trying to create a DVD from .VOB file and I am using "DVD ffmpeg" or "DVD mpeg2enc" decoding but at the end I have only ".mpv" file and not a VIDEO_TS directory. The .mpv file is without audio.
I also tried to create DVD from .m2v and .mp2 file but still the same result - only .mpv file for result.
The .VOB or .m2v and .mp2 are from mactheripper. I would like just to add subtitles to an existing DVD
I did this two weeks ago and it was OK but now when I am repeating it does not work. What I am doing wrong?

Thank you and best regards,

Vera

It could be any of these : a) you're not waiting for the 'Finished' message to appear, or b) there are spaces or special characters in your path names or file names, or c) the ffmpegX application is not in the Applications folder.

Hi,

I am waiting till it Finished. There is also a sound at the end. There are not any spaces or special characters in the path names or file name.

The .VOB files is:

EMVOX-Computer:~ vera$ /Users/vera/Desktop/und.VOB

and the subtitles file is:

EMVOX-Computer:~ vera$ /Users/vera/Desktop/und.srt

ffmpeg is in Applications folder.

Here is also the info from the last try:

Input #0, mpeg, from '/Users/vera/Desktop/und.VOB':

Is there some other things I have to do in order to have it working?

Thanx and best regards,

It looks like there is a Quicktime decoding error. Try to disable "Normalize" in the audio tab.

Hi,

Thanx a lot. When I disabled the "Normalize" in the audio tab it worked.

A question. Is there a way to prepare a DVD with 2 audios and 2 subtitles?

Regards,

To add 2 audio tracks follow this guide http://homepage.mac.com/major4/svcd2audio.html (but use Mux as.. DVD instead of SVCD). To add a subtitle, take the resulting .mpg file and use the "Author" tool on it (load the mpg and text-based subtitle file in the "browse.." fields).
