analysis pass using wrong mode

I am trying to backup WE_OWN_THE_NIGHT with CCE Basic and noticed the analysis pass with HC is encoding using 15-2 GOP and using interlaced... so I chk'ed the HC01.INI and HC.INI and saw that it is encoder using interlaced... Code:

Something in the VTS is interlaced. But the analysis phase is only trying to get a Q factor that is close so it can use it in the distribution -- it really isn't critical.

I just looked at the code to be sure. When doing the Q determination, DVD-RB uses the largest segment (in terms of frame count) in the VTS for determining the way to encode it as a whole (and find the Q). It has to do this because it is possible to have some segments that are interlaced and some that are not -- but you have to get a Q for the entire VTS. It looks like the largest segment might be VOBID/CELLID 1/29.

yes, sorry.... the only .avs file I didn't look at... the end credits... because on my monitor in falls at the top of the next column... is interleaced. again sorry.

Interesting. So the end credits were the longest segment? Hmmm. I may have to add something in to prevent that from happening.

Well, the last segment in this movie is about 1-2 mins of the very end of the movies and the ending credits. Code:

13597 frames is over 15 minutes.

It's about 9 1/2

Sorry about that. I must have missed a keystroke in my calculator. :) If it is NTSC then 13597 frames = 453.68 seconds (f / 29.97) = 7.56 minutes (s / 60)

I did it based on 23.976... not 29.97 because the .d2v files are 23.976 (film)... the pulldown is not applied to later in the rebuild phase. The .ecl file frame count is based from the d2v file which is 23.976. So the time should be 9.451812 or about 9:27
