Hello All,

I have searched almost all of the net and even asked the master dragongodz (doom9.org) about this error.

I recently just got back into DVD ripping and also encoding.

I use DVDx and Smart Ripper. I had no problems before (last year) but recently I got a new Drive and have had this error everytime I try using DVDx2.3.

"mpeg2dec: Error during seeking input file"

I have set up DVDx exactly like how I used to when it worked. Now it just gives me this error. mpeg2dec: Error during seeking input file

I am stuck on a project. Also, all the movies I'm ripping are owned by us so there is no conflict.

Admin, I have searched numerously on this board for answers but came up short. That's why I posted.

I'm using DVDx2.3 and have set it up as the guides show.

I was thinking I just recently got into Xvid codec, do you think that can be the problem.

I'm very close to buying a new drive just to see if that is the problem.

Anyone who can help, I appreciate it. I know I have been some help too a few here. Now it's time to return the love, I hope!

TIA

Maybe Try updateing the Version of AVISynth and the Mpeg2Dec.dll file that DVDx is useing...The Latest version of AVISynth uses the "Mpeg2Dec3.dll File....

Or maybe Just Forget useing DVDx and just use AVISynth and your Mpeg encoder and do it manually which Is What I do....

I rip the DVD with SmartRipper and then use DVD2AVI to make a D2V project File and then I use AVISynth to Frameserve the D2V file useing the Mpeg2Dec3.dll Plugin to my Mpeg encoder which Is "CCE SP 2.70" but you can also use TMPGEnc or Procoder or the MainConcept encoder....

Well Good Luck

First off I thank you for replying! Feels good to know some1 smarter can help.

I am not sure if DVDx uses mpeg2dec.dll as I couldn't findit on my machine. I did download it from AVS site. When I copied it over to the DVDx folder, I got the same error. "mpeg2dec: Error during seeking input file"

Is there a specific way for me to install mpeg2dec.dll? If so, how?

The way you described you encode seems a bit tough to learn last minute, unless, I am making it harder than it is.

How long does it take you to encode a 18 minute clip your way? VOB to AVI!

any help is appreciated, very frustrated why I am getting this error!


I had to edit this to add:

If I were to upgrade to SP2, could that help?
Also I came across this http://www.vidlizard.com/mpeg2-decoder.html
I was thinking of installing it but was hesitant as K-Lite codec pack crashes my machine, not sure why!

I get this error too wit #1 DVD Ripper... Any Suggestions anyone? I too have searched the net and this forum, and for not wanting to double post, I'll re-ask here if anyone has any suggestions on how to rip DVD to DivX.

I'm using the latest versions of #1DVD, DivX which I got with the DivX converter.

I contacted #1's customer support as well, so if I get word, I'll post it here!

Any posts or suggestions are appreciated!!!


Thanks!

I created an account here just after searching for this error on Google.

I use DVD Audio Ripper 1.0.47 as I'm not much into ripping videos.

So, I was doing the audio ripping, finished off one disc and inserted another one and tried to audio rip it again but then I ran into this same error. It came up just like this, between two discss ripping.

I'd like to carry it on too, of course.

I run into this problem occasionally, mostly with multi-disc DVD sources. I use 2 different DVD to Mpeg converters, and all will encounter this same error for problem discs. I've run trial demos on at least 25 other converters, most fail and ironically the few that work produce inferior results. Save your time trying that route.

The solution that works? First off, it's free! Typically, a simple Re-authoring of the DVD with DVD Shrink will succeed. For more stubborn DVDs, a more complex Re-authoring process is needed. In this situation, I'll set up the same DVD in the project window twice as if combining DVDs. I then adjust the start frame from the first title to a few frames from the end and combine. You will most likely not be compressing and therefore not sacrificing quality of source. Back-up to hard drive and when opening with converter select the 2nd main root cell. This procedure has succeeded on most DVD.

But, on occasion, the VERY problematic DVD requires yet more work. For DVDs that fail to this point, a combination of DVD Shrink, DVDFabDecrypter & FreeDVD have ultimately proved successful, even for the DVD that's driven me to drink (excuses, excuses, lol). I'll Re-author (simple)the DVD with DVD Shrink to hard drive, run FreeDVD to remove encryptions, then copy the DVD to a new folder with Fab. Once again, I'll use DVD Shrink and set both DVDs (1st DVD Shrink simple & Fab copy) in project window and use same process of combining as in example above. The result has yet to fail, but obviously requires adequate hard drive space and one hell of dogged determination to succeed.

For conversion, I use 1Click DVD to Mpeg. Best results of the many I've tried. I also have Xilisoft DVD Ripper, and above process will work with that when it ultimately works with 1Click. I assume the same will hold true for most other converters.
