G'day, I have had similar problems in the past and found a solution somewhere on this list. Switching the audio channels (+/- I think) seems to make it work again after you get past the point where you lose audio. Or at least it worked for me and a friend here in australia.

Read DOCS/HTML/en/dvd.html ... The two shows to experience this problem were different, but from the same channel (Channel 10). I capture digital TV in Australia using a DVB card. With one of the shows, the error is precisely between two advertisements. Perhaps the next advertisement is copyrighted and the copyright holder didn't want any unlicensed potential customers to see the ad. :) Kind of like the trailer for the movie Serenity ( http://www.serenitymovie.com/ ). The High-Def version of the trailer ( http://www.serenitymovie.com/media/serenityT1_720p_8mbit_LTR_NR.zip @ 131MB ) is actually encrypted WMV using Microsoft DRM! (And, therefore, the trailer is only playable on Windows.) Now, isn't the whole point of a trailer to give the movie broad exposure to a wide audience to try to increase the number of people who pay to go see the movie? I guess you have to show your MS Windows CoA at the ticket counter when you go to see Serenity... Either that or Universal knows that any Linux user is likely to already have the "browncoat" mentality (i.e. are "galactic outcasts"), and therefore is already planning to see the movie. :) OK. Back on subject... Have you tried running the videos through any tools to verify the streams? For example, you could do some quick checks with tcprobe, tcscan, etc. (others?)

[mythtv-users] Audio loss during playback with "Encrypted VOB file!"
Twice in the past month, I've been watching a recorded TV show when it has suddenly lost audio. I dug up the .nuv file and played it with mplayer, and it had audio all the way through. However, at the exact point at which MythTV loses audio, mplayer spits out: Encrypted VOB file! Read DOCS/HTML/en/dvd.html MythTV doesn't produce any special messages when running in verbose mode. It simply stops writing audio to the sound card at that point. I tried skipping past the problem, saving a position, and restarting playback, but no good: MythTV won't play any audio from that point in the file onward. The two shows to experience this problem were different, but from the same channel (Channel 10). I capture digital TV in Australia using a DVB card. With one of the shows, the error is precisely between two advertisements. My system specs: MythTV 18.0, mplayer 1.0pre6-3.3.5-20050130, 2.6.10-gentoo-r6 kernel, nvidia 1.0.7174, alsa:spdif output. Any help appreciated! Max. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
