Hello,
I tried several times to convert an an avi to a DVD and than to burn
it and try to play it on a DVD player (no a PC dvd).
The result is that I have to make many attemps to try to insert the
media inside the DVD and wait. After many such attempts is start correctly.
This happened to me with more than one media. However, I must say that the DVD
itslef is brand new and from good quality and it plays DVD without any
problem.
Could it be that something in the process is incorrect or there is a better way
to do it ?
What I do is this:
I have movie.avi.
I run:
mencoder -oac lavc -ovc lavc -of mpeg -mpegopts format=dvd -vf
scale=720:576,harddup -srate 48000 -af lavcresample=48000 -lavcopts
vcodec=mpeg2video:vstrict=1:vrc_buf_size=1835:vrc_maxrate=9800:vbitrate=5000:keyint=15:acodec=ac3:abitrate=192:aspect=4/3
-ofps 25 -o movie.mpg /work/down/mov/homeAlone1/movie.avi
than I use dvdauthor, in this way:
dvdauthor -o dvdFolder -x dvd.xml
whereas the dvd.xml is this:
<dvdauthor>
<vmgm />
<titleset>
<titles>
<pgc>
<vob file="movie.mpg" />
</pgc>
</titles>
</titleset>
</dvdauthor>
Now, under dvdFolder, two folders are created: AUDIO_TS VIDEO_TS
and everything is OK. When I try to play the result with vlc, by
running File->Open Directiry and navigate to the VIDEO_TS, everything
is perfect.
Now , I create an .iso, in this way:
mkisofs -o movie.iso -dvd-video pathTodvdFolder.
The I burn this movie.iso with k3b ( By tools->Burn DVD iso from k3b).
When I try to play the DVD media I burned with the PC DVD - it is perfectly OK.
When I try to play the DVD media with a non-PC DVD (a good quality DVD
which is connected to
a TV), I have problems as depicted above. It does not play it
immediately. I have
to try 5 or more time to insert the DVD and pull it out and again, untill it
starts.
Any ideas what is wrong in this process?
Mark
I don't think your process is wrong. Maybe your burning speed is too
high. Some DVD players are very picky.
BTW, I use the following command to make dvds and it works reliably.
Saves a step in the process, since it makes the ISO and burns it.
directory=<directory holding VIDEO_TS>
growisofs -speed=8 -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd1 -V DVD -dvd-video $directory
Good luck
John
