Clone DVD Mobile & Apple TV

[ddanckaert]

I had been using Clone DVD Mobile 1.1.4.1 and an Apple TV preset that I found on the web and it had been working very well. However, now that I have version 1.1.5.2, it bombs every time. At this point, I've started ripping DVDs with AnyDVD and then producing the MP4 file with DVD Fab Platinum.

Any suggestions on how to modify this preset to make it work now? I wish there was a comparable Apple TV preset in the software itself.

I'm sorry, AVC seems to be broken in the latest version of mencoder - I'm working on it right now.
The new PSP profiles (also using AVC, but with a different multiplexing technique) work, though, maybe you can derive something usable from them in the meantime?

I noticed that version 1.1.5.4 is doing the same thing. In the history is shows "- fix: a bug in mencoder.exe resulted in faulty MP4/AVC files". Should this of addressed the problem with these settings? I also would like to see a Apple TV in the software presets.

Tell me whether the settings posted above will work with v1.1.5.4 and I'll be glad to add them.

No, those settings don't work with v1.1.5.4. I also found the old version of 1.1.4.1 and it didn't work with that version either but not sure if it's because I had some of the newer files with other apps like AnyDVD or CloneDVD2.

The error is:
Encoder output:
Option lavcopts: Unknown suboption a
Error parsing option on the command line: -lavcopts

That is only because the forum software chose to add a few spaces here and there to that profile you're seeing. But it requires a change nonetheless...
Let's try again (the lavcopts line should contain no spaces):

[Apple TV H264 AVC]
Manufacturer=Apple (iPod/iPhone/AppleTV)
useMencoder=1

Volume=800
Res1=640x480

I didn't get it to work. The error changed to:

You still appear to have a space in the lavcopts line: coder= 1, it seems?

 

[Mike3143]

You are right. Everything worked after I removed the space. Thanks!

CloneDVDMobile & AppleTV

Does this configuration give you AAC 5.1 audio on the final .mp4 file if I select Dolby AC3/6 as Audio Stream in CloneDVDMobile?

I want to have surround, even if the 5.1 is downmixed to Dolby Prologic II by the AppleTV:
