[Dvdauthor-users] Error using dvdauthor 0.7.0: 'Err: no VOBUs found'

[Greg]

Hi dear community,

I'm facing issue using dvdauthor (with qdvdauthor as frontend). When I click
on create DVD, it's stopping with only one Error "Err: no VOBUs found"
I check VIDEO_TS and all seem there...
My video is in mpeg dvd format, i checked installation and all seems ok...

please find enclosed my issue logs, hope an assistance, because i didn't
find such issues on google...

Thanks and have a nice day!

My video is in mpeg dvd format ...

What did you use to convert it?

Put it through mpeg2desc, and see if the beginning looks something like
this:

00000000: mpeg2 pack hdr, 0.460 sec
0000000e: system header; length=18
00000026: pes private2, PCI; length=980
00000400: pes private2, DSI; length=1018

Note in particular that “system header; length=18”.

Hello,

Thanks for the reply.

I used avidemux to convert my file...
Note that i tried with DVDStyler this WE, and that's working great. I Guess
it's Q dvd author's issue now... what do you think?

Anyway, i used mpeg2desc command and i have exactly the same results you
quoted... any idea so?
(FMI: what is the system header: length=18 means?)

Thanks and have a nice day,
Greeg

Just to be sure, you used mpeg2desc on the video which was giving you
trouble, and it looked the way I described?

Because the start of a “VOBU” is marked by those headers, and “no VOBUs
found” meant it couldn’t find them.

(FMI: what is the system header: length=18 means?)

A “system header” gives information about the streams present in the
MPEG file. DVD-Video requires certain information about streams to be
present, so the system header must be exactly the right length for that.

If you want the gory details, they’re spelled out here
