19498 | 968 How can I backup and encode a VOB file with a broken beginning? |
969 </para></question> | |
970 <answer><para> | |
971 The main problem when you want to encode a VOB file which is corrupted | |
972 <footnote id='fn-corrupted-files-or-copy-protection'><para> | |
973 To some extent, some forms of copy protection used in DVDs can be | |
974 assumed to be content corruption. | |
975 </para></footnote> | |
976 is that it will be hard to get an encode with perfect A/V sync. | |
977 One workaround is to just shave off the corrupted part and encode just the | |
978 clean part. | |
979 First you need to find where the clean part starts: | |
980 <screen> | |
981 mplayer <replaceable>input.vob</replaceable> -sb <replaceable>nb_of_bytes_to_skip</replaceable> | |
982 </screen> | |
983 Then you can create a new file which contains just the clean part: | |
984 <screen> | |
985 dd if=<replaceable>input.vob</replaceable> of=<replaceable>output_cut.vob</replaceable> skip=1 ibs=<replaceable>nb_of_bytes_to_skip</replaceable> | |

1124 <systemitem class="library">libavcodec</systemitem>, the native MPEG-4 |
15922 | 1125 encoding library usually shipped with <application>MEncoder</application>, |
1126 used to set the FourCC to 'DIVX' when encoding MPEG-4 videos | |
1127 (the FourCC is an AVI tag to identify the software used to encode and | |
1128 the intended software to use for decoding the video). | |
1129 This led many people to think that | |
1130 <systemitem class="library">libavcodec</systemitem> | |
1131 was a DivX encoding library, when in fact it is a completely different | |
15925 | 1132 MPEG-4 encoding library which implements the MPEG-4 standard much |

1142 Note that this will set the FourCC to XVID rather than DIVX. |
15922 | 1143 This is recommended as DIVX FourCC means DivX4, which is a very basic |
1144 MPEG-4 codec, whereas DX50 and XVID both mean full MPEG-4 (ASP). | |
1145 Therefore, if you change the FourCC to DIVX, some bad software or | |
1146 hardware players may choke on some advanced features that | |
1147 <systemitem class="library">libavcodec</systemitem> supports, but DivX | |
20860 | 1148 doesn't; on the other hand <systemitem class="library">Xvid</systemitem> |
15925 | 1149 is closer to <systemitem class="library">libavcodec</systemitem> in |
1150 terms of functionality, and is supported by all decent players. | |
