I've had very similar problems and found that something strange was going on with the Xvfb mode. I took out the redirection of output to /dev/null on the avidemux2 calls within mpeg2cut and found that it was crashing. (I'm not sure I get why the crash doesn't just kill avidemux2 and let the mpeg2cut script try to continue anyway... it shouldn't just *hang* there forever!) Here's an excerpt from the crash I get: #0 0x02750602 in g_on_error_stack_trace () from /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 #1 0x0808cf54 in sig_segfault_handler () #2 <signal handler called> #3 0x006b251c in gdk_rgb_init () from /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0 #4 0x006b268f in gdk_rgb_find_color () from /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0 ... In my case it was doing this on the first call, which is when it is doing the "Indexing the file with avidemux2". So I had the script echo out the avidemux and lvemux command lines, and ran them by hand instead -- the gui for avidemux2 popped up, did it's work, and closed as intended. Then the same thing happened for the second avidemux2 call, so I "solved" the problem the same way and ran the command by hand with similar (working) results. I haven't figured out what's going wrong with Xvfb on my system; I'm still working on that. (Yes, I have it installed and have tested it with xclock; of course I can't see the invisible xclock window but at least it doesn't crash or otherwise error out when I run it.) In any case, my resulting cut MPEG2 files (originated by a PVR-350) have audio sync issues that become really noticable about 75% through, and there are blocky video glitches at one or two of the cutpoints. So it seems I'm still quite a ways off from a workable solution to having commercial-cut MPEG2 that I can burn to DVD. :-( -- Dave Caplinger
