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 am using version 0.52.7 and I cannot even get to the second pass right now...it always hangs on the first pass.

I tried the OGG container (with xvid) and it seems to only require one pass. Also, whenever I found it hanging at the end of the transcoding if I switched it to use a range, eliminating the last few frames, then it finished. This is the Phase of The Moon part: IF transcoding hung at the start then using a range to skip the first frames wouldn't always fix the problem immediately, but if I cancelled the transcoding and restarted it, then it might work (maybe 25% of the time), so eventually, I could get this to work. (The bad part is I haven't found anything that plays OGM on my zaurus.)
I figured out how to salvage the results of dvd::rip OGG transcoding when it hangs at the end of the process. In the project/avi/track directory (e.g. hoodwinked/avi/023 ) there will be two files: file-track.ogm (e.g. hoodwinked-023.ogm) which is the video file and file-track-00.ogm (e.g. hoodwinked-023-00.ogm) which is the audio file Just cancel the transcode process in dvd::rip, open a shell and go to the location of these two files. Enter the command: ogmmerge -o mergedfile videofile audiofile like ogmmerge -o HoodwinkedMovie.ogm hoodwinked-023.ogm hoodwinked-023-00.ogm The resulting movie file should play just fine. The video and audio files can be deleted. -- 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
