Hello List, Thanks to Steven I was able to compile the CVS version of the mjpeg tools and create my first DVD type movie. (If you want to call it that.) The video images look great and play according to the creation. But my DVD player is experiencing sound drop outs when played. The drop outs are repeatable on each playback in the same locations.
The orignal sound file I know is OK and I have played back the first 30 minutes of the mpeg Layer II audio file using mpg321 and that is OK. I have not found a program that will attempt to play the mplex'ed output file directly though. So I have not been able to verify the last operation of mjpeg tools. Xine would attempt it but my system is not able to perform well enough I guess to handle the video and audio. The movie plays erratic and there is no audio at all. My system is only a P-III-1 GHz CPU. I have been able to play back the first 15 minutes though with Ogle and then it chokes and spits out a lot errors on the VOB file and terminates. Ogle does not want to play the mpeg video file at all though. Some of the messages that Ogle reports are below. The messages were from playing the VOB file directly from my hard disk. I did verify the checksum of the VOB file on the hard disk and the DVD to check if it was bad burn to start with. In fact I burned it twice, once on a DVD+RW and then on a DVD-R both with the same results in my DVD player. The final stage of mastering the DVD was created using dvdauthor. The sequence has no titles or menus or anything. Insert it and it just starts playing. It is a 1 GByte file that should play for 1.5 hours, NTSC format. The video images are just still photographs that I scanned and converted to jpeg and then sequenced. The audio was a 48KHz, 16 bit stereo that I had on my system that was digitized awhile back from a cassette tape. Can anybody recommend a program to play the multiplexed output of the audio and video? I used the -f 8 format specifications. As I understand it, this format includes the spaces for dvdauthor to work with. Any suggestions or thoughts on what might be causing the sound drop outs would be great. The final DVD is about 98% playable. At present the problem appears to be in mplex or dvdauthor operations, but I am unable discern at the present time.
