video gets shortened under dvd --> mp4 conversion

Sorry if already asked/solved, I cant' find help. I'm total newby in video conversion.
Need to convert DVD to some viable format for streaming it out from a website.

The problem arises at the first two steps of the following chain of commands:

Code:

$mencoder dvd:///video_dvd -noskip -mc 0 -vf scale=512:-2,pullup,softskip,harddup -ovc x264 -x264encopts bitrate=1100:pass=1:subq=5:8x8dct:frameref=2:bframes=3:weight_b:turbo=1:pass=1  -of rawvideo -nosound -o /dev/null
$mencoder dvd:///video_dvd -noskip -mc 0 -vf scale=512:-2,pullup,softskip,harddup -ovc x264 -x264encopts bitrate=1100:pass=1:subq=5:8x8dct:frameref=2:bframes=3:weight_b:pass=2  -of rawvideo -nosound -o video.264
$mplayer dvd:///video_dvd -aid 128 -dumpaudio -dumpfile audio128_it.ac3 
$a52dec audio128_it.ac3 -o wavdolby >audio128_it.wav
$faac audio128_it.wav audio128_it.aac -b 256 -q 100
$MP4Box -fps 29.97 -add video.264 -add audio128_it.aac movie.mp4

Mencoder produces video.264 which is shorter than original, it goes faster, like if lots of frames were dropped. When I put audio back in, it's not synchronous. More precisely,

During first pass, mencoder says:

Code:

$ mencoder dvd:///video_dvd -noskip -mc 0 -vf scale=512:-2,pullup,softskip,harddup -ovc x264 -x264encopts bitrate=1100:pass=1:subq=5:8x8dct:frameref=2:bframes=3:weight_b:turbo=1:pass=1  -of rawvideo -nosound -o /dev/null

mencoder is reporting the framerate as 25fps:
Code:
VIDEO:  MPEG2  720x576  (aspect 3)  25.000 fps
But you've set the framerate to 29.97 with MP4Box.
Code:
$MP4Box -fps 29.97 -add video.264 -add audio128_it.aac movie.mp4
They should both be 25fps.

EDIT: I don't know why tcscan returns an error - it's not something that I've used. If you want a program that displays information about media files, consider mediainfo.

Thank you, but

... does not solve the problem. This certainly was a mistake (thank you), but already the raw 264 video produced by mencoder is shorter.
Namely before runnink MP4Box.

EDIT: and, actually, I set 29.97 because
Code:
$ tcprobe -i video.264 
[tcprobe] Digital Video (NTSC)
[tcprobe] summary for video.264, (*) = not default, 0 = not detected
import frame size: -g 720x480 [720x576] (*)

by the way, tcprobe also fails, but ina different way:

I'm not sure why tcprobe is showing both 720x480 and 720x576, 29.970 and 25.000fps. When I try it with one of my videos I get:

As you live in Italy, it's much more likely that the video you're trying to convert is 25fps (unless you've imported the DVD from America).

If you try MP4Box with 25fps, what is the result?
- Is there a consistent delay between the video and audio
- Is the video/audio ok at the beginning, but becomes more delayed towards the end?

You might also want to try HandBrake to convert your DVD.

The original dvd, according to mplayer (while playing) is, as you said, 25fps and 720x576. It's a video produced by a press officer of an Italian borough council. However it rescales to 1024x576. I don't know what is 480: indeed 1024/576=1.7777..., while 720/480=1.5

Complete infos on the dvd, given by mplayer while playing:

video/audio ok at beginning, delay increases continuously, without jumps. I did not even realised it immediately.

You might also want to try HandBrake to convert your DVD.

I will try. But I am curious anyway.

HandBrakeCLI Great tool! It worked perfectly with default options. Thanks a lot!!!

Still curious of what was going wrong. The resulting mp4 file says

Code:

$ tcprobe -i m.mp4 
[probe_mov.c] audio codec=mp4a
[probe_mov.c] video codec=mp4v
[tcprobe] Apple QuickTime movie file
[tcprobe] summary for m.mp4, (*) = not default, 0 = not detected
import frame size: -g 720x400 [720x576] (*)
       frame rate: -f 25.000 [25.000] frc=3 
      audio track: -a 0 [0] -e 48000,16,2 [48000,16,2] -n 0x1 [0x2000] (*)
           length: 9501 frames, frame_time=40 msec, duration=0:06:20.040

On many widescreen DVDs, the video is stored anamorphic. On playback mplayer is correctly formatting the video before displaying it on your screen.
720x576 is typically used for both 4:3 and 16:9 content. The original 4:3/16:9 video is distorted to fit into that frame, then on playback it's stretched back to its original proportions.

I don't know what is 480: indeed 1024/576=1.7777..., while 720/480=1.5

720x480 is the resolution that American 'NTSC' DVDs use. Similarly, both 4:3/16:9 content use that resolution. You need to take into account the Pixel Aspect Ratio (PAR):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixel_aspect_ratio

Confusingly, there's conflicting information online on what the PAR values should be:
720/480 = 1.5 * 1.185 = 1.777
720/480 = 1.5 * 1.212 = 1.818 (Rec. 601 standard)

The first example would seem to be right as it mathematically it's closest to 16:9. However, for various reasons the second is correct for some digital formats (D1, Digibeta, DV) - it's unclear which PAR values DVDs use. For your needs it's probably not an issue.

EDIT: MP4Box with 25fps, no change, same output.

video/audio ok at beginning, delay increases continuously, without jumps. I did not even realised it immediately.

I've had another look at the first block of code you posted, and have spotted some errors:
- remove pullup and softskip from your list of filters - pullup is used to restore films that have been telecined from 24fps>29.97 'NTSC', which isn't relevant here.
- add yadif=0 as the very first filter - it's important to put it before any re-sizing or cropping filters.
- you have pass=1 and pass=2 on your second mencoder command - remove pass=1
- It shouldn't be necessary to have the -fps option with MP4Box - it should detect the framerate from the input file

Your set of commands should look something like this:
Code:
$mencoder dvd:///video_dvd -noskip -mc 0 -vf yadif=0,scale=512:-2,harddup -ovc x264 -x264encopts bitrate=1100:subq=5:8x8dct:frameref=2:bframes=3:weight_b:turbo=1:pass=1  -of rawvideo -nosound -o /dev/null
$mencoder dvd:///video_dvd -noskip -mc 0 -vf yadif=0,scale=512:-2,harddup -ovc x264 -x264encopts bitrate=1100:subq=5:8x8dct:frameref=2:bframes=3:weight_b:pass=2  -of rawvideo -nosound -o video.264
$mplayer dvd:///video_dvd -aid 128 -dumpaudio -dumpfile audio128_it.ac3 
$a52dec audio128_it.ac3 -o wavdolby >audio128_it.wav
$faac audio128_it.wav audio128_it.aac -b 256 -q 100
$MP4Box -add video.264 -add audio128_it.aac movie.mp4
Also, it's possible that tcscan/tcprobe are giving incorrect info. Try mediainfo - it gives much more detailed information.
