Hi, I am trying to make VCD and SVCD vith mpeg2end but I have a nasty behaviour from my VCD player model SABA 100E (I have only this to make tests):
With VCD (and SVCD) made from DVD ripping, the disk doesn't start when I put it into the player, neither automatically nor pressing the play button; after some retries I was able to make it starting playing going some frames forward (whith fast forward or stepping) and then pressing the play button again; after that, the disk plays correctly. This doesn't happen with VCD made from divx recording (home made movies) and with windoze-made VCDs (they plays seamlesses from the beginning). But if I convert ripped DVDs into divx and then into VCD, they still don't plays at the beginning. I've used transcode (both from command line and via dvd::rip) with mpeg2enc as output encoder. I made several tests changing all kinds of parameters in transcode and in mpeg2enc without differences; also changing mplex with tcmplex doesn't help (even SVCDs has the same behaviour). Only using the transcode's builtin encoder mpeg (based on bbmpeg) i can make working VCD, but the image quality is lower (almost with standard settings). I hope to be able to solve this problem because I feel better using mpeg2enc. I know that the problem may come from my DVD player, but I feel that mpeg2enc should behave at most like its windoze counterpart; maybe there are a little difference in the file format, recognized only by few players. I made two "one minute" VCD-compliant mpeg files extracted from the same interval in the middle of a ripped DVD, one using transcode with mpeg2enc,mp2enc and the other using transcode with the builtin mpeg encoder; for both I used mplex as multiplexer: the latter works, the former not. I am going to compare the two files for differences: anyone knows any tools to help in this job (mpeg analyzer)? where can I find a good description of the file format for mpeg1 streams?
