#46 "Error: Video encoding failed"

[Stephane Bortzmeyer]

Starting from an AVI file:

any2dvd --format=pal --menu=yes --iso=/var/tmp/test.iso --workdir=$HOME/tmp/any2dvd -i ~/tmp/test.avi

I always get:

...

Overlaying VTS-Thumbnails ...Done!

Placing buttons on Background-Picture ...Done!

Creating VMGM Video Stream ...

Error: Video encoding failed for /home/stephane/tmp/any2dvd/VMGM/vmgm.mpg, file not successfully encoded!

And, indeed, the file is empty:

% ls -alt /home/stephane/tmp/any2dvd/VMGM/vmgm.mpg
-rw-r--r-- 1 stephane stephane 0 Feb 21 12:04 /home/stephane/tmp/any2dvd/VMGM/vmgm.mpg

Reading the log, I found nothing more:

...

Files in /home/stephane/tmp/any2dvd/audio are empty, too:
