HandBrake

I've updated the patch (and there's a little more explanatory text) at : http://awkward.org/category/handbrake/ At this point VOB files should process - but there's a coded maximum length of 4 hours (if the VOB is less than this the true duration will be transcoded) For now I'm moving on to Transpor...

That is what I did last night when testing in the IRC channel, but when I tried to load the "fixed" VOB, handbrake reported a duration of 00:00:00 and wouldnt encode, which I think is related to the second issue mentioned earlier. Yep - you're problem is still my buggy duration code, even...

This might be due to timecode breaks. For MPEG Streamclip to encode certain VOBs it has to correct these breaks. My previous 'trick' for working out the duration of stream quickly was to compare the first and last Presentation Time Stamp for the first Video Stream. This seems pretty reliable for br...

I've updated the patch referred above so that it correctly handles lengthy files (like VOBs 8-). It also now opens .VOB/.vob suffix files - no need to rename them. There is however an apparent bug with the duration calculation code - it seems for many VOBs (other than perhaps little chapter extracti...

Thanks for all the kind words and encouragement ! I had thought (from the description on freshmeat) that replex only did PS -> TS and not the other way around - it's cool that it goes both ways. It's not a lot of work to add the Transport Stream demultiplex code - I already have it written, I just n...

VOB files just needed to be renamed ?! That's a surprise ! But I'm glad it works that well. I had thought that VOB files were Program Streams with some additional headers (or perhaps private data sections). I hadn't done that much work on the subject - my plan was to leverage a (possibly private) fu...

So.... http://www.awkward.org/handbrake/mpeg2-ps-diffs.txt.gz Has a set of diffs that can be applied to the current SVN head to enable MPEG-2 Program stream support. I've tried this with a few different program streams and it seems to be OK - but bug reports welcome of course ! You should be able to...

A short update on progress so far... I have the 'preview picture' functionality working with a sample MPEG-2 Program Stream (which I had previously converted from a transport stream). In order to get this far I had to 'tweak' some parts of scan.c (don't try and call the DVDReader functions) and read...

I'm looking at adding support for MPEG-2 Transport Streams to Handbrake. My initial 'take' on this is that much of the underlying stuff is all there but what's missing is mechanisms to allow the handling of MPEG-2 streams outside of the DVD Format (no .ifo files, no titles etc etc). I'm an experienc...
