VLC plays the selected track (last of 30 on a "100%" full disc) all the
way through without exception, a -RW disc, which proves to me I didn't
forget to finalize it.
Have you try on some others players ? Mplayer, Mplayer2, XBMC, Miro,
Try what exactly on other players? The AVIs all played. As you quoted below,
I also used SMplayer to test the AVIs. No MP* files were produced.
Another idea is about the finalization of the DVD. Have you access to this
option ?
I have no idea what "access to this option" refers to. On -RW, finalization
can be undone, but not on -R. The only unfinalized DVR-created DVD I ever
tried to use in Linux was DVD+RW, which neither my Funai nor my Pioneer will
attempt to finalize, and which didn't allow me to do anything I hoped to do
with it. All those I've used since attempting to use dvd::rip were finalized.
If yes do it. To my mind it is necessary. By experience, if the
answer is no, it is not obligatory but not for the opposite. If VLC like
DVD::rip and Transcode are not able to work at 100 % but at 70 %, the
problem seems to be more on this side (or another but not for this sofware).
I really have no idea what you're attempting to communicate here.
Could you do another test with your player on a "normal" DVD if you have
not afraid to loose a DVD. It is not expensive nowadays.
I tried using a Magnavox (H2160MW9A; made by Funai) DVR instead of a Pioneer
(460), and used a DVD-R instead, and different music video recordings as
source. I get the same error message and failure attempting to use a mpeg
container instead of avi. On first two AVI attempts, a playable AVI was
produced, but the result is only a worthless fraction of the source, possibly
the top half or so, at about 1/4 resolution of the original. After the two I
quit trying with the Funai DVD-R.
Perhaps a bit of the command tcprobe could tell us more explanations on it.
Tcprobe applied to what? Source DVD? Source VOB? Output of the failed mpeg
attempts?
