As the Topic.

I've a VOB file and the sound is mono MP2 and I can't encode this file with Pack-Shot and I also load this bat file in the Editor and I don't find a problem.

Can you help me?

Is the audio bitrate 80 Kbps ? If yes, that is not a standard bitrate.

What is the error reported by mencoder ?

No it's from an original DVD so it's 192Kbps.

Where can I see the bug report of MEncoder?

Open a Dos window by hand, go to mencoder directory and launch "engine\process.bat"

OK, I check this.

Maybe its because Besweet/Azid as default only accepts AC3/PCM as input ... I dont know if a mpa import filter for besweet is used.

That would be a "ToDo" for the future as I want to get AzidDTS working but as I know from the past ... WinDVD has to be installed for that.
But there are new developings mentioned on the VideoLan.org site that a GPL DTS Decoder is maybe available.

MEncoder sais "File/Device" not supported.

Thats really strange that "mencoder" reports that!
As I set to mencoders commandline a -nosound parameter, so the soundtrack will be ingnored. Therefore (IMHO) you got a strange DVD VOB "Video" stream

What does you mean?

Perhaps I can test to de-multiplex the VOB and then I encode with MEncoder and if Mencoder doesn't encode it's like you said.

Also the same. MEncoder doesn't encode. Perhpas because it's a CBR MPEG-2, could this be the Problem?

Maybe stupid of me to ask but have you allready demuxed the video stream out of the original vob?

Yes I have but MEncoder doesn't encode. And I don't know why. The only reason, perhaps, CBR???

IF even at Video only input that problem occurs than your source is flawed! IMHO!
Tell me about it ... means resolution mpeg1/2 ... CBR/VBR (Look at it using Bitrateviewer!) ... FPS ... etc etc etc

BTW ...post the generated commandline!!

It's a normal command-line produced with PACK-SHOT without filters and without audio, but if it helps I post it later.

The Video is from a DVD so there's a resolution of 720x576 MPEG-2 CBR the Audio is 224kbps MP2.
The DVD is PAL. I think that's all.

run the bat in your command prompt and show us what mencoder says or does it directly say File/Device not supported?

Yes, that's it and no more.

so you see the contents of your bat file. and directly after that File/Device not supported .
Mencoder doesn't say anything else before that
in the manual there are some commands mentioned about how you can work arround some errors
take a look in there maybe you'll find something

OK I try to post a screenshot to show the whole command.

The email service spymac gives you 100mb free webspace you can acces with ftp it's not mega fast but for pics it's fast enough

I think I accidentally found out how you got that error :P .
I wanted to use that's not on my harddrive and ik gave the same error is the path in your bat correct
