(0002222) ddennedy (developer) 2009-01-27 08:15	How did you rip the DVD? I have been able to load rips created from dvdbackup just fine.

(0002223) nowede (reporter) 2009-01-27 09:06	I mounted the DVD and copied it. One of the resulting files called VTS_01_1.VOB showed that behaviour. I also used dd to get the first 50MB of that file. It showed the same behaviour and played only a few seconds, where that part with Avidemux played as long as expected. The dvd is a recording from German television. If it helps and you are interested, I can provide a link to the 50 MB part of the file.

(0002264) ddennedy (developer) 2009-01-28 03:18	We do not use avidemux's code for reading and decoding files. We use the FFmpeg libs. Can you play the file with ffplay? What does 'ffmpeg -i VTS_01_1.VOB' show? If it plays in ffplay, then post a link to the file. Otherwise, you should pursue the issue with the ffmpeg tracker: http://roundup.mplayerhq.hu/roundup/ffmpeg/ [^]

(0002272) ddennedy (developer) 2009-01-28 19:58	We have some other files like this where ffmpeg is unable to determine the duration from an initial probe, but it is able to play back the entire duration. However, MLT and kdenlive are not simple players and need to know the duration. I have been looking into ways to improve the situation.

(0002444) nowede (reporter) 2009-02-21 16:20	With the new version 0.7.2.1 the video sequence above still only plays 21 seconds. Remarkable: cutting the last frame at the end of the sequence makes kdenlive (or ffmpeg?) discover the correct length and the video is shown in that length.

(0004568) jsager33 (reporter) 2010-01-23 23:46	I'm not sure if this issue has been beaten to death. This is my first bug report so please go easy on me. I have a Sony DCR-DVD100 Handycam that writes directly to 1.4G DVD discs. After I have recorded the video and finalized the disc, it is playable in a DVD player. I use dvd::rip to rip each chapter of the DVD to its own vob file. When loading the vob's into kdenlive it reports their length to be a matter of a few seconds or so. I ran ffmpeg -i on the file and this is what I get: FFmpeg version SVN-r20373, Copyright (c) 2000-2009 Fabrice Bellard, et al. built on Jan 16 2010 19:07:30 with gcc 4.4.2 configuration: --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64 --shlibdir=/usr/lib64 --mandir=/usr/share/man --enable-static --enable-shared --cc=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc --disable-debug --enable-runtime-cpudetect --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libvorbis --enable-libtheora --enable-libx264 --enable-libxvid --enable-libdc1394 --disable-indev=oss --disable-outdev=oss --enable-x11grab --enable-pthreads --enable-libfaad --enable-libspeex --enable-libgsm --enable-libfaac --enable-nonfree --disable-altivec --cpu=x86-64 --enable-gpl --enable-version3 --enable-postproc --enable-avfilter --enable-avfilter-lavf --disable-stripping --enable-hardcoded-tables libavutil 50. 3. 0 / 50. 3. 0 libavcodec 52.37. 1 / 52.37. 1 libavformat 52.39. 2 / 52.39. 2 libavdevice 52. 2. 0 / 52. 2. 0 libavfilter 1. 4. 1 / 1. 4. 1 libswscale 0. 7. 1 / 0. 7. 1 libpostproc 51. 2. 0 / 51. 2. 0 [mpeg @ 0x6263c0]max_analyze_duration reached Seems stream 0 codec frame rate differs from container frame rate: 59.94 (60000/1001) -> 29.97 (30000/1001) Input #0, mpeg, from 'tessie10-001.vob': Duration: 00:00:07.12, start: 0.119756, bitrate: 16023 kb/s Stream #0.0[0x1e0]: Video: mpeg2video, yuv420p, 704x480 [PAR 10:11 DAR 4:3], 9300 kb/s, 29.97 tbr, 90k tbn, 59.94 tbc Stream #0.1[0x80]: Audio: ac3, 48000 Hz, stereo, s16, 256 kb/s At least one output file must be specified As a frame of reference, avidemux reports the length as 13.346 seconds. As a workaround, I re-mux the video and audio in the vob file to and mpg file using avidemux and it loads into kdenlive perfectly. Hopefully this post will be helpful. p.s. I am using the latest svn trunk version (0.7.7).

(0004569) ddennedy (developer) 2010-01-23 23:58	jsager33, would you please load the original rip into kdenlive, right-click it in the Project Tree and choose Transcode/Remux MPEG-2. Enable the checkbox to "Add clip to project." Did the transcoded result give the correct duration in Kdenlive?

(0004573) jsager33 (reporter) 2010-01-24 01:11	I did as you requested and the transcoded file gave the correct duration. I also tried the transcode with a few other clips and each transcoded clip gave the correct duration. Please let me know if there is anything more I can assist with. btw - great app!
