In DVD Rip, I have been trying to transcode a movie I ripped using DVD Rip, but it continually stops at 99.07%. It basically just stops there forever until I hit Cancel. I have tried move than one video codec, to no avail. Recommendations?
Ditto. (Suse 10.0) I'm looking at Dumbo which has been stuck on 99.21%most of the day while I was out. I did this yesterday and the same thing happened then. When I first ripped the movie I noticed it took dvd rip a looong time to get the list of DVD chapters and it took dvd rip (or was it vobcopy?) an inordinately long time to start ripping. As far as I can tell looking at the VOB files all the movie was ripped start to finish. IF I kill dvd rip and all the leftover processes hanging around, the AVI (xvid4) file is viewable/playable in its entirety down to the closing credits -- except that you can't skip around or fast forward through the movie. This suggests to me that the indexing is what is getting hosed. I guess this may be a by-product of some convoluted copy protection scheme. Several other Disney movies I own have similar copy problems or worse.

I don't even see an AVI file...is it in some temp directory somewhere? I have the same thing...my vob files look ok on the hard drive, just no AVI from the transcode.
I usually encode to avi/xvid with two passes (the results are playable with Kino2 on my zaurus). The avi is generated on the second pass. If the transcoding hangs on the first pass (it happens here sometimes too) then you'll never see the avi file appear. I just did an update of all the DVD Rip related packages I could find on packman and it all still seems to be functioning. Right now I'm retesting Bambi which has the same encoding problems as Dumbo -- it hangs while encoding right at the end of the second pass. Its not a fast computer -- this will take until sometime tomorrow. -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
