I doubt any of that is a problem. The actual rip sizes I've encountered have been correct. I think this issue is merely with the report shown when AnyDVD displays what it found prior to ripping. Nothing to fear.

This is a strange off-by-one. Let me explain... 3876601 sectors would mean that a final sector index is 3876600 (i.e., one less than the number of sectors). AnyDVD HD reports 3876602 (i.e. one greater than the number of sectors). So, James's number of sectors is 2 greater than what would be...

Well, I know a bit. I'm a scientist-engineer with video experience, also. But you should consider James to be the only expert here.

So, underneath UDF there's another file system with it's own sector architecture? I find that extremely hard to believe.

I have ripped thousands too. Except maybe for the occasional "can't rip" situation, off-by-one seems to make no difference. I noticed it because I write reviews and the number of bytes can be important for differentiating between releases of the same title. The only people to whom it's...

There ya go! Do that. You know, video is just mechanical. The smoothing filters are not needed except in the most dire circumstances.

You seem a little confusted, my friend. Let me just put this down and if you want to discuss it further, okay, but not here. Send me a private message. 2-3 pull-down Outputs a sequence of 2 combed frames followed by 3 "progressive" frames. ___frame 1 / ___frame 2 etc. (time flows left...

Well, now I really am super mystified. Let me tell you why. Because I mention H&J above, I revisited it. I was wrong. The 25fps 'PAL' version really is 'PAL'-fast. It really is 24fps cinema sped up to 25fps. I discovered that by comparing running times for my 2 'NTSC'-soft versions...

Hey TubeBar! That's correct. One such region B, 'PAL' DVD is 'HILARY and JACKIE' [1998] AEN 6867449002095 [2007] (i.e., H&J). H&J was made from 24fps cinema, same as the 'NTSC'-soft versions, but it is not 'PAL'-fast. It is not Euro telecined via 13-12-13-12 pull-down, either. Every frame is...

Hey James! Hahaha... You're right, there! However, 1, 'off by one' may be a lead to other errors (...or not), and 2, it's not confusing: Your LBA 'count' is really an index into serial data, so it begins at zero. LBs (logical blocks) are not numbered, they just exist as a serial sequence. PS...

Hi. There is no rounding. There's 2048 bytes/sector. Windows reports 7,939,278,848 bytes. That's 3876601 sectors. AnyDVD HD reports 3876602 sectors. That's off by one. "Off by one" is a common programming error.

Kindly excuse me if this has been addressed -- my search was rejected, words too common... It appears that AnyDVD HD is reporting number of sectors off by one. For a particular DVD, Windows Explorer reports 7,939,278,848 bytes (i.e., 3876601 sectors), AnyDVD HD reports 3876602 sectors.

Hahaha... I don't understand everything! It's not a way to edit video. It's a language for editing video. I do have some examples, though. In the github stuff you'll see my email address. If you care to comment/ask for help/etc., let's use my email address, not this forum. Okay?

Is the GUI an application you are writing, or are you referring to something like HandBrake? If so, it's not based on ffmpeg. It uses the same encoding/decoding libraries that ffmpeg uses but that's all. FFmpeg is a mutt and AviSynth/VapourSynth/etc. are mongrels. HandBrake always transcodes...

Thank you, James!

Yes, I understand that George++. This sidetrack is off-topic so I'll be brief. It doesn't matter. I have FF set up to always try 'https' first, but if I get the warning, then I can tell it to use 'http'. The point is this: I'm not getting the warning. I'm getting a log-in dialog.

Well, I appreciate your views on DVD Shrink. I don't use it. I use ffmpeg (and sometimes AVIsynth or children of AVIsynth). What I do is make MKVs that utilize HEVC codec. The resulting MKVs are about 1/4 the size of the concatinated VOBs but don't seem to have lost any resolution during...

That doesn't matter. If I use 'http', firefox changes it to 'https'. If firefox finds 'https' doesn't work, it puts up a warning, but that's all; I can choose to try 'http'. I'm not getting that warning. I'm getting a log-in dialog. Yes, that's the warning.

https://oss.redfox.bz/ puts up a log-in dialog and clicking it provokes a 401 response. Thank you for the link, but... https://forum.redfox.bz/palspeedup/ "This is how the Americans solve that problem" is not a correct explanation of field pull-down & telecine...

I gotta apologize. I'm sorry. You see, I read a lot about video and I get ...confused? Yeah, confused. What people write seems so vague to me. When I'm done I think, "What did he/she just say?" I'm just too much of an engineer, I guess. Too anal. Read a little of...
