[VCDImager Bugs/Devel] error/bug in vcdimager 0.7.12

[Patrick Kellaher]

Hi

I was trying to make an svcd out of an mpeg file recently and came across
this problem.  When running vcdimager v0.7.12 like the following:

$ vcdimager --type=svcd --iso-volume-label=<name> --update-scan-offsets
<mpeg file>

I received the following (inaddition to the standard WARNs for this
version):

   INFO: scanning mpeg sequence item #0 for scanpoints...
!ASSERT: file vcd_mpeg.c: line 445 (_analyze_pes_header): assertion
failed: (vcd_bitvec_peek_bits (buf, pos2, 4) == 3)
Aborted

So I decided to try vcdgear instead.  VCDGear worked, but the resulting
bin/cue when burned to CD and played on my standalone DVD player (Pioneer)
it was squished to the left side of the TV.  So I tryed running vcdgear's
-fix option on it, same result.  I then decided to try vcdimager v0.6.2. 
I used the following command:

$ ./vcdimager --type=svcd --bin-file=<filename> --cue-file=<filename>
<mpeg file>

I ran this inside of the source tree after I compiled it (but not
installed).  It got all the way through the file without any problems, and
the resulting bin/cue, when burned to CD and played on my DVD player,
played normally (no squishing).

I don't know what kind of info you need about the mpeg file but here is
the info that mplayer spits out.  Let me know if you need any other info
on the file.

Detected MPEG-PS file format!
VIDEO:  MPEG2  480x480  (aspect 2)  29.97 fps  3250.0 kbps (406.2 kbyte/s)
Detected audio codec: [mp3] afm:1 (mp3lib MPEG layer-2, layer-3)
Opening audio decoder: [mp3lib] MPEG layer-2, layer-3
AUDIO: 44100 Hz, 2 ch, sfmt: 0x10 (2 bps), ratio: 16000->176400 (128.0
kbit)

Finally, I would like to thank you for a wonderful piece of software.  I
use it all the time and it works great.

Pat
