Yes, I have sent a private link to your email.

The mplayer binaries I used were obtained from linuxpackages.net:

MPlayer-1.0pre7try2-i686-3jto.tgz

I included the file in the private link.

I was not able to see the delay with my own encoding.

Please run the following command:
encode2mpeg -o as031 in.mpg -avionly -aid 128 -encode 0:3:1 -profile aspl5 -debug 7

Then compress and send to encode2mpeg at users.sourceforge.net the files as031.log and as031.debug.
I will probably also need to play myself as031.avi. Can you put it somewere where
I can download it?

The command line you are using are supposed to work. But I don't remember
if I did extensive test with ac3 5.1 audio with the DVP 642.
I will try to reporduce your problem and see what's going on.

[Encode2mpeg-users] DVP642 A/V sync problem with ac3 5.1 audio

[JohnG <4p...@gm...>]

I would like to archive my DVDs for playback on a DVP642 hardware 
player.  I have had no success in preserving ac3 5.1 audio. 

This command I found in profile.html produces an avi file that plays 
back without any A/V sync problem on the DVP642.  Unfortunately,  it 
encodes the audio into mp3 format:

encode2mpeg -o movie dvd://1 -avionly -aid 128 -encode 3:2:2 -profile divxht

I have a multichannel sound system and mp3 is not going to satisfy the 
concept of archiving. 

I was hoping to preserve the ac3 5.1 audio.

Every attempt so far to preserve the 5.1 audio has resulted in an A/V 
sync problem where the video is delayed by about 2 seconds.  The 
playback starts out ok, but after about a minute the video delay is there.

After much trial and error, I extracted a chapter from the DVD that had 
much dialog.  The object was to be able to observe the A/V sync. 

mplayer dvd://1 -chapter 10-10 -v -dumpstream -dumpfile in.mpg

Then the following commands were tried and the results burned to a 
Verbatim DVD+RW and played back on the DVP642.  All experienced the 
video delay.  All of the files played ok with mplayer.

nice -n 9 encode2mpeg -o as621448 in.mpg -avionly -aid 128 -channels 6 
-encode 6:2:1,448 -profile aspl5

nice -n 9 encode2mpeg -o as631384 in.mpg -avionly -aid 128 -channels 6 
-encode 6:3:1,384 -profile aspl5

nice -n 9 encode2mpeg -o ht621448 in.mpg -avionly -aid 128 -channels 6 
-encode 6:2:1,448 -profile divxht

nice -n 9 encode2mpeg -o ht631384 in.mpg -avionly -aid 128 -channels 6 
-encode 6:3:1,384 -profile divxht

nice -n 9 encode2mpeg -o as021 in.mpg -avionly -aid 128 -encode 0:2:1 
-profile aspl5

nice -n 9 encode2mpeg -o as031 in.mpg -avionly -aid 128 -encode 0:3:1 
-profile aspl5

nice -n 9 encode2mpeg -o as022 in.mpg -avionly -aid 128 -encode 0:2:2 
-profile aspl5

nice -n 9 encode2mpeg -o as032 in.mpg -avionly -aid 128 -encode 0:3:2 
-profile aspl5

nice -n 9 encode2mpeg -o ht021 in.mpg -avionly -aid 128 -encode 0:2:1 
-profile divxht

nice -n 9 encode2mpeg -o ht031 in.mpg -avionly -aid 128 -encode 0:3:1 
-profile divxht

nice -n 9 encode2mpeg -o ht022 in.mpg -avionly -aid 128 -encode 0:2:2 
-profile divxht

nice -n 9 encode2mpeg -o ht032 in.mpg -avionly -aid 128 -encode 0:3:2 
-profile divxht

So, am I wasting my time on the DVP642(I can return it for a refund)? 

Is there a workable DVD player, a fix for encode2mpeg, or am I making a 
mistake of my own?

in mpeg mode whit option -mc 10 i have perfect synchronization in the

You talk about avi, but your source file (15.mp4) probably is not an avi,
but a mov/mp4 file. This is anyway not related to the sync problem.

Concerning your command line, -D 10 is incorrect. The precision of
the DC component should be changed only for mpeg2. Therefore remove -D 10
from your command line and see if it already helps with your sync problem.

Also if you are using MPlayer 1.0pre8 try with 1.0pre7. There are several
incompatibilities between encode2mpeg 0.5.x and MPlayer 1.0pre8.
Hopefully I will be able to release 0.6.0 soon.

If it is not enough, try the following:
 - add the option -mc 0
 - add the option -mc 10
 - use Mpeg Mode
 - use Mpeg Mode with -mc 0
 - use Mpeg Mode with -mc 10

Let me know if you make any progress.

No. encode2mpeg can use the unpatched version of mplayer, dvdauthor, mjpegtools
etc., but you could experience bugs or have some problems with the output.

For every patch included with the encode2mpeg tarball there is, in the README,
an explanation why you should apply it.
If you think the problem that a particular patch solves does not affect you, 
then you do not need to apply the patch(es).

Yes of course,

encode2mpeg -o mydvd -mpeg -dvd -encode 0:0:1 -video 1.mpg -video 2.mpg

But keep in mind that if the svcd has 44100 Hz audio the resulting dvd
may not play on many dvd players. 
It is better to reencode the audio with:
-srate 48000 -encode n:0:1
were n can be 4, 6 or 7.

Re: [Encode2mpeg-users] quality options in mpeg mode

[Osmany G. C. <osm...@ci...>]

Thanks for your answers........maybe it's a coincidence but in this
moment i am encoding(mpeg mode) animes...i found a lot of time ago in
internet a web site that talk about making vcds and give recomendations
to encode anime(manga) but i loss the address ...i will google again to
find that page.i encode the animes similar to othe films...
I think that the selection of a matrix have a big importance in the
quality of the final video. encode with *:4:* should be diferent if i
use encode *:4:* and -qmatrix hi-res   
Normally i use direct mode but now I am using (mpeg mode) because in
direct mode the performance of  my  PC it's very bad ....with mencoder i
can do a lot of things while i am encoding whitout problem :-)

The quality option I use are the one that gave me a very high PSNR.
The test were done for DVD encoding, so may be the options are
not the best for VCD/SVCD.
Coming back to your question:

v4mv is valid only for mpeg4 and it is used in avi mode, it does not 
work for mpeg1/2.

dc!=8 also is not valid for mpeg1 and it makes sense for mpeg2 only
with high bit rate. For that reason is disabled for VCD/SVCD, but it
is enabled for DVD.

I found also that dia results may vary with differents source video, 
so no specific dia option were chosen.

So, to fully answer your question, -encode n:4:i will give 
the better quality compared to the other three modes, but
surely it would be possible to find, for EACH MOVIE you want
to encode, a specific set of options that will give a higher PSNR.

The one I choose should be a good compromise.
If somebody can provide me a better combination, I will use it.

It would also be good to have some -encode n:5:i
better suited for amine. Unfortunately I have neved done
anime encoding and therefore I don't know what to use.

P.S. In order to see the options used by mencoder add the

The feature will be enabled with the option -menuopts :0
You can expect a new release with the new feature and some
bugfixes in a couple of weeks.

Thanks a lot.
IMHO -menuadvopts is better placement, because it will be probably rarely used 
(till now nobody have been asked you).

No, it is not possible at the moment. If the DVD (or S/VCD) has chapters and menu
then the chapter submenu is automatically created.

It could be possible to eliminate the chapter submenu with some 
hand work, but I have to think exactly how to do it.

But I think I can implement the feature you are asking for.
May be as a -menuopts or -menuadvopts suboption.

Would that be ok?

Hi,

Is it possible to generate a DVD menu without chapters submenu?
My goal is to have very simple start menu - just audio subtitles and play but 
preserve original chapters from source DVD.

The answer is yes. The option -usesbr will always work, but it should be used
only if other options are unable to accomplish what you need.

You can try the following:

1) -mpeg1vbr (VCD)
2) -encode n:3:i
3) -qmatrix kvcd
4) -usesbr

And you should really read the documentation! It's all in there.

mistake :-).......
i do a test with a dvdRW with two files a vcd and SVCD and i have
problems with audio like you said....now i am doing a dvd 5 low

Hello,
it it always possible if you reencode the movies.
If you mean to transfer to a dvd the contents of SVCD without
reencoding and then to be able to play such dvd on a dvd player,
then the answer is it may also work, but not guaranteed.
SVCD has a resolution of 480x480 and audio mp2 44100 Hz.

480x480 is not an official supported dvd resolution, but 
apparently most (if not all) the dvd player are able to
play a dvd with such resolution.
The big problem is with audio. DVD audio is 48000 Hz.
There exist player that would play dvd with 44100 Hz audio,
but that is much less common. Most of the time the player
wont play it (and also dvdauthor will complain a lot
about 44100 audio).
So the best thing to do is to keep the SVCD video and
reencode the audio to mp2 48000 Hz.

encode2mpeg -o DVD -mpeg -encode 7:0:1 -srate 48000 source.mpeg

In order to put 3 movies on a single DVD you can use
the option -video or -titleset (or both) depending of what you want
to accomplish.

[Encode2mpeg-users] [ANNOUNCE] encode2mpeg 0.5.5

[Giacomo C. <enc...@us...>]

Announcing (a little bit late) the release of encode2mpeg 0.5.5

It contains:
        support for encoding from multiple input image files
        configuration file support
        few bugfixes/improvements



New. encode2mpeglight.

In the TOOLS directory of MPlayer CVS is present encode2mpeglight.
A smaller (light) release of encode2mpeg that needs only MPlayer/MEncoder.


Release cicle.

Up to now, encode2mpeg has been released more or less monthly. The next release
may take longer. I'm working to patch/fix dvdauthor's spuunmux/spumux.
Until I'm done, I will eventually make only a bugfix release (unless MPlayer 
1.0pre8 is released).
