Hi,

is anyone of you using transcode to rip and encode DVDs? I have a problem
with it in combination with dvdrip, the graphical frontend.

dvdrip has a cluster mode which distributes the encoding work on several
nodes, where each node gets several thousand video frames to encode with
transcode.

The problem is that the transcode processes on the nodes sometime stop
when they have finished their work (100% done) but they don't exit, so the
cluster control can't assign new jobs to them.

I tried to run the respective commands that dvdrip generates by hand on
the nodes and I get the same behaviour: some chunks encode without
problems, some encode up to 100% but then the process hangs around idle.

The commands I use look like this:

`which nice` -n 10 transcode -i /hugo/bla/vob/002 -a 0 -w
1504,250,100 -b 128,0,0 -s 2.963 --a52_drc_off  -V  -f 25 -Y 12,5,12,11 -B
27,10,8 -x vob -o /hugo/dvd/avi/002/chunks-psu-00/bla-002-00003.avi
-y xvid -S 0 -W 3,11,/hugo/dvd/tmp/bla-002-nav.log && echo
DVDRIP_SUCCESS

I asked on the dvdrip list, but they said it's a transcode problem (which
I can comprehend), and I asked on the transcode list, too, but got no
response. I suppose it's a problem with FreeBSD.

I use transcode v0.6.0pre5.

Any ideas are appreciated,
regards,
le
