Dear all, yes, yes, yes I know, it's a question about one of these Windows tools but I think the difficulties (Please remark: I don't say :Problems) are derived from a Linux tool. I use mplex from the 0.82 DVB-release with -t MPEG2. Then I copy the output from the LINUX VDR-box to my Windows workstation because of the much stronger CPU and somtimes more comfortable (sorry LINUX purists) but not always stable software. With TMPGenc ( to the LINUX purists: its a nice freeware(until now)tool to encode the MPEG2 stream to SVCD with a nice GUI and not all these commandline steps with two days of downloading the different tools and compiling and chasing the compile or link errors and loading again some libraries etc (I think you know??)) I tried to encode this stream to SVCD. But it stops allways after about 60% of the supposed time of the file. Also WinMediaplayer set the overalltime of this file (ok its a BillyBoy tool, but...) to about 60%. After demultiplexing and multiplexing again with TMPGenc the runtime is OK and it is also fully encoded but the audio is now not really in sync with the video. I have compiled now VDR with a maxfilesize(?) of 400 MByte. So the result is not to bad. But my question is: Why is it not possible to mplex the file at the first point of the chain in a way that many window tools will understand it really??? (Tausend Ameisen k�nnen sich nicht irren) I have seen all these discussions on this list about standards etc. But a standard can only become a standard when it is usefull for many people. Otherwise it is only theorie.
