Hi, Some problems related to multimedia. I wished to copy part of a DVD recording (on my home DVD, from the TV) for a friend. As my computer (Sempron AMD with 500 MB RAM and 1GB swap, running debian testing/unstable) is too modest for a non-linear editor. I tried to use transcode. $ tcccat -i /dev/dvd -T 2,-1 2>/dev/null >mydvd.vob imported the program, which played correctly with gmplayer $ tcprobe -i /dev/dvd -T 2,-1 2>/dev/null gave: (dvd_reader.c) mpeg2 pal 4:3 U0 720x576 video (dvd_reader.c) ac3 drc 48kHz 2Ch [tcprobe] summary for /dev/dvd, (*) = not default, 0 = not detected import frame size: -g 720x576 [720x576] aspect ratio: 4:3 (*) frame rate: -f 25.000 [25.000] frc=3 audio track: -a 0 [0] -e 48000,16,2 [48000,16,2] -n 0x2000 [0x2000] [tcprobe] V: 97550 frames, 3902 sec @ 25.000 fps
Then I extracted the part of interest with: $ ffmpeg -i mydvd.vob -vcodec copy -scodec copy -ss 00:02:30 -t 00:42:25 part1.vob part1.vob played with gmplayer but the sound was a good 2seconds ahead of the image. During the playback i tried to demultiplex part1.vob: $ tcextract -i part1.vob -t vob -x ac3 -a 0>part1.audio But the file part1.audio was empty Trying: $ tcprobe -i part1.vob, I got [tcprobe] MPEG program stream (PS) [tcprobe] summary for dvorak.vob, (*) = not default, 0 = not detected no audio track: use "null" import module for audio Any suggestions? Thanks, Avraham
