Chapter Selection → DVD

[ToiletDuck]

Helloha,

When i want to process an small portion for a testrun and chose chapter selection at base tab, hybrid seems to process the entire episode anyway !
Is it possible for dvd sources to process/encode an small portion in any which way you can using hybrid ?


Cheerios,
TD

Did the chapter already exist in the source? If it did share a debug output.
Otherwise, use cut support.

Sure all chapters are accounted for.  Hybrid did load the original (Untouched) DVD-9 content, nothing cut,added or edited..

Also, i can't seem to select and add titles to the job list, iam only able to add title one from each dvd source !?
This is the error i receive:




ps: Debug attached from both error message, and title issue.

Yes, neither Vapoursynth or Avisynth has anything that can supports proper DVD parsing. (Nothing I can really do about it.)
This is why folks usually use MakeMKV or PGDemux to remux their DVD before conversion when I want to use Avisynth or Vapoursynth.


Will look at the debug output.

=> create a new debug output just with the chapter issue (I won't look at the debug output otherwise. Got no time for that.)

When I load a DVD source and set the chapter selection for example to 1-1, Hybrid properly adds:

# cutting from frame 0 to 5880  - WARNING: This might cause synch issues
clip = core.std.Trim(clip=clip, first=0, last=5880)

when I set the chapter selection to 2-2:

# cutting from frame 5881 to 11770  - WARNING: This might cause synch issues
clip = core.std.Trim(clip=clip, first=5881, last=11770)

is added.
This is not just in the preview, but also in the encoding.
=> chapter selection seems to work fine here.

Wos to be expected  , so i have to remux the whole shabaam title by title.. 
Great, 8 seasons containing 26 episodes each   
that will be fun ..

Done, attached.

so, yes, loading dvd source and selecting chapter 1-1 (11 min more or less), But hybrid does the whole title anyway.
Funny you mentioned the preview feature..

In the preview windows i only can see the selected chapter just like it should be.  But it encodes all chapters not just 1 !

And in the debug file i've noticed strange behaviour like several lines →, cutted from 0 frames to XXXX then , 0 to XXXXX and so on and on !?
Also , cutted = False !

iirc both pgc demux and makemkv both can extract by title.
Hybrid probably can do it too.

works for me in encoding too

Too vague to answer that properly, but cutted = false, means that at this point in the script no cutting go applied.

Will look at the debug output and try to reproduce the problem.

My benevolent Royal Majesty Sir Selur...

I know how i can extract it, furthermore you forgot to mention yet another old but usefull tool → DVD decrypter    ← One that DOES just encoded / extract the selected time/chapter from a complete title perfectly 

the thing is , i don't have preview (except for dvd decrypter) to see which is what you know... For episode order ..
But the more important , NO BATCH extraction (hybrid = preview + jobs = sneak preview + batch processing  )

Unless i use command lines , and create a *.bat file for batch proccessing... I'll figure it out..

Could it probebly has something to do with the "loaded profile" (AGAIN!) prior to selecting chapters 

I'll check that out..

Yes, many entries refering to different parts cutted (ie: from frame 0 to XXXX, 0 to XXXXX and so on .. )


Oh well , atleast we have had a "weebit" snow this year in some parts of the world  (°^°)

DVD decrypter

Often created non-DVD compliant output for me which can cause issues, so I would not recommend it.

"loaded profile" (AGAIN!) prior to selecting chapters

No clue, but according to the debug output:

For the Vapoursynth creation Hybrid assumed:

451.88 sec * 25 fps so that would be 11.297 frames.
