 Posted: Fri Jan 03, 2003 2:11 am Post subject: Playing an SVCD with mplayer, I'm having problems |
 |
|
Whenever I try to play an SVCD using mplayer I get an error. Mplayer says the file is not supported. I know the files are ok because they play fine on my windows box. And it is not just one cd it is all of them.
Here is the code error I get, I also get it running as root...

It looks like you are mounting the SVCD and trying to play the mpeg directly. That in unnecesary. Also, it doesn't work. I just tried it:
| Code: | Playing /mnt/cdrom/mpeg2/avseq01.mpg

To play an SVCD 1) put cd in drive 2) do not mount the cd 3)....
This should produce output like:
| Code: | Playing VCD track 01
track 01: adr=1 ctrl=6 format=2 00:02:00 mode: 1
track 02: adr=1 ctrl=6 format=2 00:08:00 mode: 1
Cache fill: 18.29% (1533840 bytes) Detected MPEG-PS file format!
VIDEO: MPEG2 480x576 (aspect 2) 25.00 fps 3125.0 kbps (390.6 kbyte/s) |
It will also output the pictures and sounds  |

From the manual (file:///usr/share/doc/mplayer-0.90_rc1-r1/html/cd-dvd.html):
| Quote: | The Syntax for a standard Video CD (VCD) is as followed: mplayer -vcd <track> [-cdrom-device <device>].
Example: mplayer -vcd 2 -cdrom-device /dev/hdc
VCD disks consists of 2 or more track:
* The first track is a few MB 2048 bytes/sector data track, with an iso9660 filesystem, usualy containing win32 VCD player programs and maybe other infos (jpegs, text, etc).
* The second and other tracks are raw 2324 bytes/sector mpeg tracks, without any filesystem but raw mpeg ps data, one packet per sector. they contain the movie(s)... The tracks can't be mounted! It is similar to audio tracks (e.g. You never mounted an audio cd to play it, or did you? No). As most movies are inside track too, you should try -vcd 2 first. |

Probably a bit off topic but if you haven't burned the SVCD yet and it was in .bin format you can play it directly in mplayer.
mplayer foo.bin |

that last post may have been a little off of topic but it was exactly what I was looking for. I was trying to play a svcd using mplayer by typeing mplayer cue://filename.cue and it would only play a few seconds. Why does playing the .bin file work but doing it the correct way not work?

btw, "-vcd $TRACK" is deprecated, you should now use "vcd://$TRACK".
one question though:
is there somewhere i can specify the default cd device? mplayer only looks in /dev/cdrom, so i have to use the "-cdrom-device" switch everytime...

also off topic, but maybe one of you knows:
I have a SVCD disk and want to copy (rip) the MPEG to my HDD. I tried copying it the regular way (mount, cp, umount) but it didn't work. Probabely because the 2352B/sector thing
Is there a way around? in windows I used IsoBuster to do it... |

| Try app-cdr/bchunk, it will generate two iso tracks, the second one should be your mpg. |
