[gentoo-user] mplayer: "Encrypted VOB file" (but it's not!)

[gentoo-user] mplayer: "Encrypted VOB file" (but it's not!)

[Iain Buchanan]

Hi all,

recently I was converting some raw dv files that I captured with kino,
into mpeg2 files for compressing and writing to DVD.

99% of them converted fine, then I ran into one that gave me this error
with mencoder and then with mplayer:

Encrypted VOB file! Read DOCS/HTML/en/cd-dvd.html.

However, it's NOT a vob file!! It's not encrypted, it's just a plain raw
dv file, made the same way as all my other dv files, the others work
fine!

Here's the full output:

$ mplayer tape4/2006.06.30_20-39-01.dv

and it continues like this until I kill it.

Again, these aren't ripped from DVD's or anything like that - they're
captured with kino from my mini-dv video camera.  All the others
captured with this method work, this one doesn't.

The problem is, I can't recapture it, because my camera doesn't read
tapes anymore (time for a new JVC 3CCD Hard Drive cam) and I overwrote
them anyway (D'oh).

What can I do?

all google shows me is people with DVD problems... can anyone shed any
light?

Huge thanks if you can help!

Your digital camcorder runs Windows CE. At random times, it encrypts a stream. 

Just kidding. Couldn't resist. ;-)

That ought to be a bug in mencoder/mplayer or one of the underlying libs. Have 
you mailed the mplayer folks?

I almost believed you because of your previous helpful answers :)

not yet, because it's only happening to one of the files I thought
someone else may have come across it... maybe I should head off to the
mplayer list...

thanks,
