Multiple issues

[Selur]

Think I fixed the

console warning "... Couldn't adjust 2nd pass bitrate....."

problem, but that isn't the real issue.

Case 1. No filters, audio:ignore. Result de-interlaced video stream with proper duration 15 min 15sec (I tried QTMC - gives also proper duration)
Case 2. No filters, audio: passthrough all. Result: de-interlaced video stream with wrong duration 13 min 43 sec, console warning "... Couldn't adjust 2nd pass bitrate.....", audio tracks don't get demuxed, AVI consists unwanted AC3.

Case 1:
Video is decoded by Vapoursynth/Avisynth
Case 2:
Video is decoded by Vapoursynth/Avisynth
Audio is extracted using mencoder/mplayer (if, like you wrote the audio didn't get demuxed/extracted then it couldn't end up in the avi )
(Audio doesn't get converted since your audio queue doesn't include the info for Hybrid to do so)

-> This seems to be a problem of mencoder/mplayer and Vapoursynth/Avisynth decoding the files differently
(mencoder/mplayer properly parses the DVD, Vapoursynth and Avisynth don't)
My guess is that the files include an intro or outro which mencoder/mplayer skips, since the dvd structure tells it to, but Vapoursynth/Avisynth doesn't.
Only workaround reliable for this is to process the DVD beforehand with PGCDemux or MakeMKV.

I wrote a workaround for this a while ago which often works if you (assuming yout don't use the chapter selection to restrict what should be processed of the DVD). By enabling 'Audio->Misc->Extract audio using DGIndex' before loading the source, Hybrid will use DGIndex to extract the audio, which should help. Totally forgot about that option; since it only works on Windows and I rarely process DVDs.

=> working on fixing the old workaround
