Budious Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I need some help with mkv2vob running under Wine 1.0 in Ubuntu. The application is running but I get the message "Error getting mkv info!" when I attempt to transode the file. Googling the error message suggested that Windows users that got the error had security settings or applications preventing the parent process from executing child processes (/mkv2vob/tools/...exe's) that were required for the parent process. Is there a way to start a Wine application so that it can call these child processes? (assuming this is the problem). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kreuger Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I'm not sure how exactly to help this problem but I'm sure there are native programs that can do the transcoding for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markwolfe Veteran Posted July 1, 2008 Veteran Share Posted July 1, 2008 Wine should be able to transfer calls to other apps, as long as they exist and are well-behaved in wine. Alternatively, a little google showed me this is a PS3 video thing, is that correct? If so, I think ffmpeg might be able to do the job natively.

Budious Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 Well, I have come across some fairly complicated scripts using various *nix tools to demux the video, audio, and subtitle streams; hexedit the video format byte; and resample and remux the video and audio to a PS3 compatible file. There were reported quirks with all these alternative methods though, I just thought it would be easier to get mkv2vob working under Wine than to deal with all that nonsense.

Kreuger Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 vob is standard dvd format, is it not? I'm pretty sure Avidemux which has a nice GUI can do it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
