I'm using an authoring tool that does demux and remux (automatically). Recently, I had a badly damaged stream with lots of missing frames. I could still play the MPEG file with xine, because the xine engine does a pretty good synchronizing job. But when I watched the resulting DVD (also with xine), audio and video were totally out of sync - by several seconds after only half an hour. I had to throw the DVD away. Conclusion: An additional demux/remux step will probably make dvdauthor shut up, but it doesn't actually repair anything. In fact, it often makes things worse. I guess you know what "Verschlimmbesserung" means? What we actually need is a separate tool, "dvbrepair", that does the job correctly. > - Multiple sequential input files.

Shouldn't be too hard if the chunks really are part of the same recording. Otherwise, you would have to index them separately, re-calculate the timestamps and so on. This will probably be one of the benefits of the new indexer. > Currently, cutting a recording means for me: > * cat input -> double data > * cut input -> tripple data > * demux -> four times as much data > * mplex/author (via fifo) -> five times as much data I agree that this is far too much copying. -- Michael "Tired" Riepe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> X-Tired: Each morning I get up I die a little ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
