Has anyone developed patches for vdrconvert to work with the new versions of mjpegtools 1.6.3 and transcode 1.0?
Regards.

Vdrconvert has a small problem with the new mjepgtools, but it is easy to fix. One program complains about an unsupportet data format, you have to add a single parameter, than it works Unfortunately I don't know which program it is and I can't find the parameter I added. If you look into your logfiles and send me the program name or line number I could look it up.

Unfortunatly I backed everything down until a patch was released, but the problem was in vdr2dvd.sh on the ppmtoy4m lines.

I don't know about vdrconvert, but a problem that sounds like the same was solved in vdr-burn 0.0.6i-pre2 by piping the output of ppmtoy4m to "y4mscaler -O chromass=420_MPEG2" and then to mpeg2enc, ie. not directly from ppmtoy4m to mpeg2enc. That should work for all versions of mjpegtools, but requires y4mscaler.
It's also possible to fix it without y4mscaler by adding the "-S 420mpeg2" option to ppmtoy4m, but that would require mjpegtools >= 1.6.3 (it was something else than 420mpeg2 in earlier versions) and my ppmtoy4m man page has this to say about -S anyway:
The subsampled modes use a lousy subsampling filter; better results will be achieved by passing the default 4:4:4 output to a scaler which supports subsampling, such as y4mscaler(1).

That's it:
The line nice -n ${PRIO} ppmtoy4m -n $DVDANIMSUBFRAMES $DVDNORM_PPMTOY4M -I t -L -r -v 0 ${UniqueDir[Number]}/submenu/${Page}/submenu.ppm | nice -n ${PRIO} mpeg2enc -q 2 -a 2 -n p -f 8 -v 0 -o ${UniqueDir[Number]}/submenu/submenu-${Page}.m2v
$STDOUT 2>>$STDERR
has to be changed to:
nice -n ${PRIO} ppmtoy4m -n $DVDANIMSUBFRAMES $DVDNORM_PPMTOY4M -I t -L -r -v 0 -S 420mpeg2 ${UniqueDir[Number]}/submenu/${Page}/submenu.ppm | nice -n ${PRIO} mpeg2enc -q 2 -a 2 -n p -f 8 -v 0 -o ${UniqueDir[Number]}/submenu/submenu-${Page}.m2v >>$STDOUT 2>>$STDERR
notice the "-S 420mpeg2"
Also the line
nice -n $PRIO ppmtoy4m -n $DVDANIMFRAMES $DVDNORM_PPMTOY4M -I t -L -r -v 0 ${UniqueTempDIR}/preview/${Page}/mainmenu.ppm | nice -n $PRIO mpeg2enc -q 2 -a 2 -n p -f 8 -v 0 -o ${UniqueTempDIR}/mainmenu-${Page}.m2v >>$STDOUT 2>>$STDERR || ExitError
to
nice -n $PRIO ppmtoy4m -n $DVDANIMFRAMES $DVDNORM_PPMTOY4M -I t -L -r -v 0 -S 420mpeg2 ${UniqueTempDIR}/preview/${Page}/mainmenu.ppm | nice -n $PRIO mpeg2enc -q 2 -a 2 -n p -f 8 -v 0 -o ${UniqueTempDIR}/mainmenu-${Page}.m2v
$STDOUT 2>>$STDERR || ExitError

Thank you, I have confirmed this is now working with your changes. :)
Best Regards.
