analysing the file with '-i' shows that it has an ac3 stream, mp2 stream, and a video stream.
That's probably it then. You should try the latest snapshot (050322); the bugs page claims there's a fix for a problem with AC3 and vdr >1.3.19 (and 1.3.23).
thanks. that does the trick.
if anyone else is interested, my converter script now looks like this:
---cut here--- #! /bin/bash
# vdr2dix.sh [dir] # # e.g. vdr2divx.sh /video/FooBar/2005-03-22.23.59.99.99.rec # will convert to divx & save as /video/DIVX/FooBar.2005.03.22.avi
# user-tweakable constants OUTDIR='/video/DIVX' TMPDIR='/video/tmp' ARGS='-oac mp3lame -ovc lavc'
# arg processing IN="$1" show=$(echo "$IN" | sed -e 's=/video/==' -e 's=/.*==') date=$(echo "$IN" | sed -e 's=.*([0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9]).*=\1=') OUT="$OUTDIR/$show.$date.avi" #echo $IN "===>" $OUT
[ -e $TMPDIR/vdrsync1.mpg ] && rm -f $TMPDIR/vdrsync1.mpg
#echo vdrsync.pl $IN -mpeg2 -o $TMPDIR/ #echo mencoder $ARGS -o $OUT $TMPDIR/vdrsync1.mpg
vdrsync.pl $IN -mpeg2 -o $TMPDIR/ mencoder $ARGS -o $OUT $TMPDIR/vdrsync1.mpg
rm -f $TMPDIR/vdrsync1.mpg ---cut here---
it probably needs some tweaking of the mencoder arguments for optimum quality/size, but it works as is.
