[Dvdauthor-users] Partial sector error

[Tyler82 <bil...@ho...>]

I am having this error while i am trying to create a "DVD player" format Video DVD from a mp4 file.
It looks like create every folders for menu and so on, also the VIDEO_TS files, only the .iso will be missing.
I am using Arch linux, fully updated, ffmpeg also installed.
Here is my extraction from the debug file created on DeVeDeNG:

[Dvdauthor-users] need feature

[Vidas M. <v.m...@ho...>]

I would need store template in file structure whitch begin from root, named by DVD name. Subdirectories should be named by titles and store chapters in it by vob files [hard] linked to MPG files named as chapters.
I would like authoring process just hard link prepared VOB files - I would not like have title merged in 1GB VOB files - I would need every chapter in separate file with existing limitation no more 9 chapters in each title in case.

Example 1
I have many cam files. I would like make copies of these files to blue ray as is. It would be in file system:
root directory named, for example, TRAVEL
> subdir named as title name HOTEL
- copy of VTS_01_1.VOB from original cam DVD
- copy of VTS_01_2.VOB from original cam DVD
...
- copy of VTS_01_9.VOB from original cam DVD
> subdir named as title name OCEAN
- copy of VTS_02_1.VOB from original cam DVD
- copy of VTS_02_2.VOB from original cam DVD
...
- copy of VTS_02_9.VOB from original cam DVD

Example 2 based on video music clips.
I have copies of favorite clips from my DVD colection. It could be:
BEST OF ROCK (root directory - blue ray name)
> LED ZEPPELIN (sub directory named by title name)
- VTS_01_1.VOB
- BLACK DOG.MPG ([hard] link to VTS_01_1.VOB) - chapter name
...
- VTS_01_9.VOB
- ROCK'N'ROLL.MPG ([hard] link to VTS_01_9.VOB) - chapter name
...
> DEEP PURPLE (sub directory named by title name)
- VTS_99_1.VOB
- MASHINE HEAD.MPG ([hard] link to VTS_99_1.VOB) - chapter name
...
- VTS_99_9.VOB
- CHILD IN TIME.MPG ([hard] link to VTS_99_1.VOB) - chapter name

[Dvdauthor-users] devede error

[Mark L M. <ml...@gm...>]

Hello I am getting an error while trying to use devede with linux mint 19.
It is a fresh install and I contacted the author of devede and provided him
with the debug data and he said there was a message about an error with
dvdauthor and he could not fix it but to contact you instead.

dvdauthor: dvdvob.c:1877: FindVobus: Assertion `p >= thisvob->vobu[i -
1].sectpts[1]' failed.

seems to say it is a bug in dvdauthor, so I can't fix it. You should
contact the authors of dvdauthor.  Thanks Mark

IMESHO, your choice to report is a good one.

this inconsistency will impact very few people, however those it impacts
will be in serious teeth-grinding territory, and having
insignificant-seeming details like these pointed out (including the
error-message text) will save a large proportion of those people an immense
amount of stress (and time).

[Dvdauthor-users] possible spumux bug (ERR: Too many colors in base picture)

[Ryan T. M. <ry...@ry...>]

Error:  "ERR: Too many colors in base picture"

This error was driving me crazy.  I was sure the PNG images I was 
providing to spumux had exactly 4 colors, no more, but I was still being 
held up with this error.

I finally found out what was wrong.  The issue: the height and/or width 
of some of my images was an odd number.

First off, I had no clue that subtitle images had to have even-numbered 
dimensions, so if this is common knowledge and I'm just an idiot, then 
please disregard, it was my fault.

However, if images with odd dimensions is permissible to spumux, then 
there might be an issue.  In subgen-image.c, in the createimage() 
function.  This function basically adds a row and/or column of 
transparent pixels to the image if necessary to create an image with 
even-numbered height and width.  This seems harmless enough, but in my 
images, I did not have any fully transparent pixels (I was using colors 
with an alpha channel to get transparency).  So this means that a fully 
transparent color was added to the palette that did not exist in the 
source image, and pushed me over the 4-color limit.

The initial workaround is simple: make sure all your images have 
even-numbered dimensions, and no unexpected pixels/colors will be added 
to the palette.  But in my case, this was not intuitive in the least.


I know there's been very little traffic on this list over the last few 
years, so I don't know how many people actually care.  Just thought I'd 
try to give back a little bit!

Thanks!

No responses as of yet.  Is this mailing list still alive?

After some experimentation, was able to create a multipage menu;  
relevant part of the xml pasted in below.
Also, a close reading of the dvdauthor documentation seemed to show  
that putting <pgc entry="title"> in the
menu section of vmgm is the way to make the main menu accessible via  
the "top menu" button on the DVD remote.

[Dvdauthor-users] help with XML files

[<gh...@ma...>]

Hello -

I've been using dvdauthor for quite some time, but only for very simple
disks.  Current project is somewhat more complex.

1) Could someone please post an example of an XML file that includes a
multipage menu, where each page of the menu includes a "play all" button,
as well as scrolling buttons to the next and previous pages of the menu?

2) At least on my DVD player, the "top menu" button only seems to work if the
first menu is listed in the VMGM section of the XML.  Is this common?

Thanks for any help -

[Dvdauthor-users] Announcing DVDAuthor 0.7.2

[Lawrence D'O. <ld...@ge...>]

It’s been too long since DVDAuthor 0.7.1, so I thought I would announce
another release, wrapping up all the little patches added since then.
Nothing too major is new; from the ChangeLog:

    Various code-quality and build improvements
    Support “jump pgc n” and other interaction code-generation improvements
    Improve reliability of dvdunauthor
    Don’t force infinite pause on last cell of a PGC
    Allow specification of provider field in VMG IFO file
    Add video_format(7) man page
    Add padding to ensure .BUP and .IFO files end up in different ECC blocks
    Enabled hinting of rendered subtitle text
    Require cell start and end times (if specified) to be nonempty

As usual, links to downloads, GitHub repo etc are at
<http://dvdauthor.sourceforge.net/>.

Re: [Dvdauthor-users] new release

[Alex T. <al...@th...>]

Hi Martin,

possibly you use the old version of DVDStyler.
I just checked the current one (v3.0.2) and it works correctly.

If end time of all cells is set to auto (and only pause = 1 for the last 
one), dvdauthor.xml contains following cell times:
         <vob file="...">
           <cell start="0:00" end="0:22" chapter="1"/>
           <cell start="0:22" end="0:59" chapter="1"/>
           <cell start="0:59" chapter="1" pause="1"/>
         </vob>

Unfortunately there was another bug in current version: all entered end 
times are ignored if no other cell setting are changed.
It's fixed in v3.0.3 beta 3 now.

Cheers,
Alex

OK, I now require that the cell start and end times, if specified, must
be nonempty.

I think an empty string would be interpreted as a value of 0.

This would never have worked. Why would DVDStyler be generating such a
thing?

I could put in an error check. Then running the above control file
would fail.

[Dvdauthor-users] new release

[Martin H. <pol...@gm...>]

There's one point, which may be more a problem of DVDStyler,
but also DVDAuthor behaves strange.

DVDAuthor has a problem with playlists produced by DVDStyler.
Choosing the AUTO option for the end of userdefined chapters, one gets 
in dvdauthor.xml
an empty string for the end of the chapter:

     <titles>
       <video aspect="16:9" widescreen="nopanscan"/>

I don't know, if there is any semantics for this in DVDAuthor.
Anyway, DVDAuthor accepts it without warning, but procduces an chaotic 
output.

OK, I have enabled hinting by taking out FT_LOAD_NO_HINTING. I have
left out FT_LOAD_TARGET_MONO for now: the FreeType docs describe it as
a “Strong hinting algorithm that should only be used for monochrome
output. The result is probably unpleasant if the glyph is rendered in
non-monochrome modes”. So I’m not sure what the likely interaction is
with foreground/background colours...

I know, it’s been too long since the last regular release. There have
only been a few minor patches since then, but I guess it’s time to
make them official.

Anybody got any patches/issues they’ve been sitting on? Speak now, or

DVD-Video only supports 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratios. To handle video with
some other aspect ratio without distortion, you must apply letterboxing
(padding at the top and bottom, normally filled with black) or
pillarboxing (padding at the sides).

FFmpeg has the “pad” video filter that does this.

For example, I had some video that not only had an ultrawide aspect
ratio, but it had been encoded incorrectly so round circles were no
longer round. So I had to fix this by resizing the video from its
original 608×224, scaling up to the full available width of 720 pixels,
with a correctly-adjusted height to match (I worked this out by careful
measurement at 430 pixels). Then pad the result out to the full 720×576

ffmpeg -i «input video» -target pal-dvd -s 720x430 -vf pad=720:576:0:73 -aspect 16:9 -b 2500k output.mpg

[Dvdauthor-users] creating DVD from something other than 4:3/16:9

[Rick C. <ric...@gm...>]

Hello,

Normally using ffmpeg with -target ntsc-dvd or -target pal-dvd then following up with dvdauthor works great. But on something other than 4:3/16:9 for example if the aspect ratio is 2.40:1 then the resulting DVD has its aspect ratio changed and no longer looks good. What is the solution for this?

Thank you for that confirmation. So the VIDEO_TS.{IFO,BUP} alignment

Yes. I tried padding out the IFO and BUP files, and got major
complaints from genisoimage. So it appears I just have to set the
sector numbers, it will do the placement accordingly. (The draft patch
I posted still has the padding code in it, which I should remove.)

Question: do I need to round up the sector numbers for
VTS_nn_0.{IFO,BUP} as well, or only for VIDEO_TS.{IFO,BUP}? The patch
currently does both. Also, is my rounding calculation right?

If I understand the change correctly, that's not what it does. I think the expected behavior is that the sector number stored in VIDEO_TS.IFO file that determines where the BUP file will go is now guaranteed to be at least 32K away from the IFO file. When the ISO mastering software reads the IFO file, it should use that sector number and place the BUP at the correct location.

The actual size of the IFO and BUP files are not supposed to change--the problem is where the BUP placed, not how big it is.
