Need help with Wine to execute child processes from parent process.


Recommended Posts

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).

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.

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.
