Well...

Well:

Some hints:

- Do you use DVDtoOgm 1.20.1 alpha
- have you installer AviSynth 2.50?
- Can you Preview your Scripts without any problems?
- Have you changed any software

If yes, the please try a single pass (2nd-pass, 1st for example) and then post the DVDtoOgm.log and the VirtualDubMod.jobs File.

Thanks for your help, because it will help me to improve the tool!

Yes, I use DVDtoOGM 1.20.1 alpha, and that has installed (for me) AVISynth 2.51 (not 2.50). It seems I can preview scripts without problems. I have not changed any software.

I can to one pass at a time it seems -- i tried "single pass" and then configured it to be xvid's "2 pass first pass", and it seems to be working.

When I try to do two passes (at once), it seems Virtualdub is what screws up: the audio encodes fine (that msdos window etc, and i get a perfect .ogg file), but then it says "Encoding video, first pass" (or something close), and virtualdub opens up and instantly closes ... so no .avi ever gets made. Crappy.

Help? Attached are the two files you wanted.

Report:

THX!

In fact I found to Buggs within the Xvid-Encoding-Operation, but I don't think: That's it.

Thanks for you VirtualDubMod.jobs, but this is the wrong... Sorry for explaining this not clearly enough, so other try: Just do the 2nd, 1st pass and disable "Mux Audio and Video" then the VirtualDubMod.jobs shoul contain some other informations, which I need...

THX so far, for helping me to improve this tool...

Ok i will post those files in a sec (gotta generate them). Note that not even what I tried yesterday (doing the 2 passes seperately as one pass apeiece) didn't work: VirtualDubMod hung at 95% (I tried a second time, hung exactly the same spot)

I think I've got it.

Bear with me here because it's been pretty much trial and error so I may have done something else inadvertantly and overlooked it.

Essentially, if you setup the "2-pass, 1st pass" first, then the "2-pass, 2nd pass" it seems to send the 2nd pass settings to Virtualdub mod twice, which fails because it can't find filename_movie.avi

If, however, you setup the "2-pass, 1st pass" AFTER the "2-pass, 2nd pass" then it sends the 1st pass data to Virtualdub mod first - then the 2nd pass data and everything works out OK.

Note that you also have to setup the 2nd pass settings to "2-pass, 2nd pass" during the 1st pass encoding otherwise the 2nd pass is carrie dout with 1st pass settings.

Let me know if that doesn't make any sense - my email is ginger_spad@yahoo.co.uk

Hmm. Well that's cool, but I think i'm just going to wait until a version of Dvd2Ogm comes out that isn't too buggy, seeing as that seems like an easy fix. However, right now virtualdubmod crashes every time I try to encode vanilla sky, at about 95%, no reason I can see.

Dvd2Ogm is perhaps the most promising software i've seen on the encoding front, at least as far as front-ends go, so i'm quite happy to help any way I can.

Author-of-dvd2ogm, let me know if I can help at all...

thanks,

DVX vs DVDtoOGM

I was thinking of starting to encode my movies in the OGM container format however I had planned to use DVX as most people here do. I am now in a dilemma between those two programs. My question : What does DVDtoOGM have to offer more than DVX ?

Thanks in advance.

[UncasMS]

test both and decide for yourself.

i'm using DVX since last fall and i'm extremely happy with it.

[iparout]

I will do so. I'll also test GKnot as its latest version supports OGM.

[GWolfe01]

Im having some *major* problems with subs. The subs are ripped okay with subrip and I added them correctly in the DvdToOgm setup, but when it comes to play the file i can select the subtitles but they wont show up Im really tearing my hair out here cuz GK wouldnt encode these damn subs either

[Spad]

I have the same problem with subs - they 'exist' in the OGM inputs but don't display onscreen.

Tried a few things, including adding them manually in Virtualdubmod but it doesn't seem to help.
