The final output of the choppy DVDstyler movie is a vob file which is 23.4 Mb in size with the 44100 Hz and 128kbps audio, whereas the Qdvdauthor produces a smooth runnung 18 Mb vob with audio at 48000 Hz and 224kbps.īoth are “compiled” not from separate sound files, but from the same AVI movie. When I make DVDs with this program, I always use ac3, 48Khz at 192Kbps and I’ve never had any problems.įiguring out that it was most likely the audio compression (previous post) I did already try the ac3 option before posting last time, but this did not fix the choppiness when played in a standard dvd player. Most of that stuff is Greek to me, but if you have experience setting up the command line programs, you should be able to tweak it. If you look at the “Core” tab on the “Settings” property sheet found under the “Configuration” menu, you can see and change the commands used by the various sub-programs. I do remember reading somewhere on the forum that the audio needed to be at 48Khz when you put it into DVDStyler, but that was a while back, and I don’t know if that is still the case. DVD styler is really just a front end for several command line programs, one of which is dvdauthor, so it should be able to handle what you want. If it’s on “Copy” set it to ac3, which will force audio re-encoding. If you are putting in mp2, double-click your video on the timeline and you can adjust the audio properties. I know that it is very common for folks to use mp2 as the audio track, and that’s normally fine, but the DVD specs say that at least one clip on the disk must have ac3 audio. So, it looks like the "Save as VOB for input to DVDAuthor" isn't working for me.It may have something to do with the audio that you are feeding it. (The resulting DVD is also still cut short). That did make the warnings in the first half of the process go away, but not the multitide of errors in the second half. So, thinking that my cuts may have something to do with this, I tried again, but just did a "QuickStream Fix", so there's no edits in the output VOB. I think the first half errors are my cuts: there are three cuts in this file. I can't tell if the errors I see in the first half are related to the errors on the second. WARN: Video PTS does not line up on a multiple of a field. WARN: Partial sector read (4 bytes) discarding data. WARN: Discontinuity in audio channel 8 please remultiplex input. WARN: Audio pts for channel 8 moves backwards please remultiplex input. OK, for completeness sake.I used the "Save Chapter File" option to create a DVDAuthor XML file, leaving DVDStyler out of the loop all together. I'm assuming this should work.am I doing something wrong? Does there need to be a setting set in VideoRedo for this to work? WARN: audio sector out of range: -8649 (vobu #150, pts 37.419)Īnd it goes on.and when I'm done, my resulting DVD has a VOB that's the same length (approx) as the original, but only has a 10 minute program (somewhere in the middle of it there's a giant cut with missing data: the start and the end of the program are there). INFO: Audio ch 0 format: mp2/2ch, 48khz 20bps INFO: Generating VTS with the following video attributes: However, halfway through the DVD creation, I start getting these errors: I drag it into DVD Styler, and it correctly just calls DVDAuthor with it: it doesn't demux and remux the VOB. I have a 20 minute program that I save as a VOB.

I'm using DVDStyler 1.4 which uses DVDAuthor. I'm experimenting with saving edited files from VideoRedo as a VOB, so I can make my DVD authoring much faster.
