dvdrip: "it seems that transcode ripping stopped short"

I am trying to rip a DVD with perl dvd::rip. But when I try to extract the vob files to the hard drive, it says:

I would re-emerge libdvdread, and perhaps check revdep-rebuild -p

I already did both, with no results.

well if vobcopy and ogm still work these dependencies might give a lead..

Yeah, dvdread useflag is enabled in transcode. Tried both stable (0.6...) and ~ (1.0....) versions of transcode, no change. Dvdrip is also new compiled with all dependencies. No aggressive compiler options either.
Damn error.

I've gone over to using k9copy.. seems to work fine on all but 'series' dvds ;-)

The problem is most likely caused by a small scratch on the dvd. It seems that dvd::rip cancels, because of the smallest errors.

I had the same problem. I fixed it my copying the dvd with vobcopy -m and importing it in dvd::rip.
The problem is, that the preview frame grabbing will take forever with this method.
But you could create a iso with mkisofs and mount it as you dvd-rom drive and rip it from the iso.

same problem here, tryed also a NEW video dvd (never played, just buy & open)... same result
anyway i use dvdcpy -o dir /dev/dvd (from ogmrip) and then import in dvd::rip but not always works (sometimes when starts the second pass, hangs and the result is a 4kb file)

but we like if dvdrip makes all the work... from the last 2 months transcode or dvdrip has this problem...

I was having the exact same problem. I set it to no subtitles on the rip screen and it works now.

I have had similar problems with ldvd ripping dvds. They would stop half-way through the movie (at layer change?)
if it is the same problem I was having it is to do with the mplex command not issuing -M option
from man mplex

yes....I am experiencing the same, and it appears to me it is when it the disc is going to the second layer. If I use dvdshrink in windows and put the movie on a single layer all works fine. Anyone have any advice on how to resolve this?

What I ended up doing was rip the vobs with vobcopy, then I imported the vobs into dvd::rip so I could transcode.

keyser,

I saw your post from abov, but how can I modify this in DVDRip. I am having trouble finding where mplex is called from. I am running a test now by setting an alias for mplex to mplex -M and then launching dvdrip from the same shell. maybe this will work. Any other advice would be most helpful. Thanks.

keyser, you know what's funny? I was trying to rip The Usual Suspects when I ran into this problem!

Sorry for being off topic!

I don't know if any of you resolved this, but I just came across the same problem and this thread.

anyone have anyclues about this error i think its due to improper framerate calculation, where it reads the TOC with 29.x framse NTSC but it rips at 23.x. just a thought

hazer · n00b Joined: 02 Sep 2004 Posts: 55

I think you have it a little backwards...

The vid stream may be 23.x fps, but dvd::rip is calculating for 29.x which is causing it to come up short.

0.97.11 was supposed to fix something about this but it hasn't been put into the portage tree yet.

I've run-onto an interesting suggestion that the this error is related to using: ide-cd module instead of ide-scsi :
http://criggie.dyndns.org/linux-dvd/

So I tried to verify it and mounted my dvd drive as "ide-scsi" but it was so slow to a point that was unusable, to rip a dvd would take a day or two so I can not verify it.
But playing with some configuration in grub.cong by appending to Kernel hda=ide-scsi hdc=cdrom etc
at one point I was able to read any disc I put into DVD not a single error; but I can not repeat it.
So, I'm more confused now then I was before.
