[MPlayer-users] mencoder fails with some DVDs (resulting movie just 36k big)

[Julian Mayer]

hello all
mencoder doesn't work with some DVDs:
i'm doing normal 3-pass encoding (10 sec preview):
mencoder dvd://1 -dvd-device /dev/rdisk5 -endpos 10 -ovc frameno -o  
frameno.avi -oac mp3lame -lameopts vbr=3
mencoder dvd://1 -dvd-device /dev/rdisk5 -endpos 10 -ovc lavc -lavcopts  
vcodec=mpeg4:vpass=1 -oac copy -o /dev/null
mencoder dvd://1 -dvd-device /dev/rdisk5 -endpos 10 -ovc lavc -lavcopts  
vcodec=mpeg4:vpass=2 -oac copy -o movie.avi
but on some DVDs the resulting movie just 36k big
interesting is that normally the last Position output for a 10sec  
preview is:
Pos:   9.9s    251f ( 0%)   0fps Trem:   0min   0mb  A-V:0.000 [774:114]
but on a non working DVD it is:
Pos:   0.1s    499f ( 0%)   0fps Trem:   0min   0mb  A-V:0.000 [0:0]
I've attached the whole log for a non working DVD
could anyone tell me if this is a known bug or if i'm doing something  
wrong...
otherwise i'll file a bug report
thanks in advance, julian
