> the only reliable length is the one of the wav files; for some reason > mencoder doesn't seem to decode the whole dts stream I noticed something that makes the issue more weird. At first i thought that mplayer -dumpaudio produces the wrong stream, but i ran dcadec on it and the stream is correct, so mplayer too doesn't decode it correctly under some circumstances. To sum all the info in one: 1) mplayer dvd://1 -aid 137 -> decodes DTS fine (length 6078) 2) mplayer dvd://1 -aid 137 -identify -frames 0 -> shows 6078 length which is correct. 3) mplayer dvd://1 -aid 137 -novideo -ao pcm -> decodes DTS fine to a wav of 6078 length. 4) mencoder dvd://1 -aid 137 -oac copy -ovc (copy/h264/whatever) -> produces a avi which has smaller length (5971) and shows in the screen "Skipping Frame!" every 2-2.5 seconds. 5) mplayer dvd://1 -aid 137 -dumpaudio -> produces the correct stream but if i run "mplayer -identify -frames 0 stream.dump" it shows the wrong length of 5971. So the problem lies not only with mencoder but with mplayer too. I tried 3 DVDs with DTS audio so it isn't some fault of the DVD. My prog versions are the following: libdca SVN version (also tried version 0.0.5 before that) also tried -ac ffdca to use ffmpeg instead of libdca but same result. mplayer svn as of yesterday (revision 27975) I am glad to provide any more info or test any patch. I am sorry for my long post and thank you for your time.
