    Hey I have been using a combination of yade x and ffmpegx for quite sometime now to great effect for converting dvds that I own to playable formats for my psp. But recent for no reason i can figure out i have been running into odd occurrences. When I take the .vob yade x makes and put it in to ffmpegx select the psp h.264 preset enable two pass encoding and give it a name in the options menu it all seems to go well. The first thing that i noticed was that it seemed to be encoding way to fast for an old dual 500 mhz g4 tower running 10.3.9. Then when it got to 100% it just kept going. I let it get to over a thousand % before i canceled it. Now it is weird because it only does this with some vob files and not other, there is no pattern to it that i can see. I have even tried the same problematic .vob files on another computer which had tiger on it. Same thing happened its driving me nuts.

    Here is what it says when i press the info button on the encoding progress bar.
    Encoding started on Thu Mar 9 17:13:32 EST 2006
    Seems that stream 0 comes from film source: 29.97 (30000/1001) -> 23.98 (24000/1001)
    Input #0, mpeg, from '/Volumes/Slave 120/folder of stuff/Billy Madison.vob':
    Duration: 00:04:02.7, start: 0.197967, bitrate: 143915 kb/s
    Stream #0.0: Video: mpeg2video, 720x480, 29.97 fps
    Stream #0.1: Audio: ac3, 48000 Hz, 5 channels, 448 kb/s
    Stream #0.2: Audio: ac3, 48000 Hz, stereo, 192 kb/s
    Stream #0.3: Audio: ac3, 48000 Hz, stereo, 192 kb/s
    Output #0, mov, to '/Volumes/Slave 120/folder of stuff/Billy Madison(mov).vob.ff.mov':
    Stream #0.0: Video: mpeg4, 640x352, 29.97 fps, q=2-9, pass 1, 1500 kb/s
    Stream #0.1: Audio: aac, 48000 Hz, stereo, 256 kb/s
    Stream mapping:
    Stream #0.0 -> #0.0
    Stream #0.1 -> #0.1
    Here is a picture of the progress bar at over 1000% done



    Sorry for any spelling/grammer mistakes i may have had. I failed that class or something.

    As the duration of the movie is read wrongly, so will the estimated time of the encoding be wrong. Suppose your feature is 90 minutes instead of 4, then the progress bar could reach 2225%. The number looks odd, but the final conversion will be fine.
