[VCDImager] VCDImager SVCD's are colourless

[Bart Van Hove]

Hi,

I'm using VCDImager 0.7.21cvs but the same problem ocurred on 0.7.14. It 
is the following:

I have created a pretty standard SVCD MPEG (no RIFF): address@hidden, 
224kbit/sec mp2 stereo sound, ~2200kbit/sec MPEG-2 video. The file is 
400M, created by mencoder.
I attempted to create a SVCD from this one file:

vcdimager -t svcd SVCD.MPEG

Then burnt it using cdrdao. The resulting SVCD plays back fine in 
MPlayer, but it doesn't in my modern, stand-alone DVD player (Sony 
SLV-D930) where everything is fine except for the image: it keeps being 
played in black and white only!

After having tampered for ages with the actual .mpeg, I tried burning it 
in Windows, in Nero. Behold, the resulting SVCD plays in colour! I can 
uncheck "Create compliant SVCD", I can make an mpegav dir instead of 
mpeg2, I can use ENTRIES.SVD instead of ENTRIES.VCD, SVCD's burnt by 
Nero play back fine in my DVD player...

Then I tried adding some flags to the vcdimager line, 
--broken-svcd-mode, --sector-2336, --update-scan-offsets, none of those 
changes the fact that vcdimager created SVCD's playback in b/w. I tried 
adding a segment directory too (Nero does that, though it's empty), no luck.

To me there's nothing fishy about vcdimager's output either:

------------------------------
++ WARN: initializing libvcd 0.7.21 [linux-gnu/i686]
++ WARN: 
++ WARN:  this is the UNSTABLE development branch!
++ WARN:  use only if you know what you are doing
++ WARN:  see http://www.hvrlab.org/~hvr/vcdimager/ for more information
++ WARN: 
++ WARN: mpeg stream contained no scan information (user) data
finished ok, image created with 8688 sectors [01:55:63] (20434176 bytes)
------------------------------

I think vcdimager 0.7.14 used to tell me the resolution too, and that it 
was burning a PAL SVCD. Using -v doesn't result in more verbose output. 
Apparantly, no scan information is found, but I read VCDImager added 
that itself? Perhaps this is where it differs from Nero. I've tried 
finding notable differences between nero and vcdimager SVCD's, and have 
found some though they don't mean much to me. The Nero avseq01.mpg files 
are slightly larger (about 120Kbytes). Now I'm going to paste the output 
of vcddebug, run with both SVCD's. To me it seems as if Nero includes 
more information about the data on the SVCD, for example in INFO.SVD 
Nero fills in more things.

Thanks for anyone willing to spend some time on this problem, perhaps it 
is a common one but I don't get that impression when Googling. Playback 
in b/w is often related to PAL/NTSC issues, but I don't think that's the 
case here (seeing how vcdimager 0.7.14 actually mentioned burning a PAL 
file).

Happy Holidays,
