I'm posting this to both the mjpeg-users and transcode-users lists since I don't really know where the issue lies.
I just discovered tcrequant and am trying to use it to make reduced-size DVDs in the same manner as does dvd9to5.pl from http://lakedaemon.netmindz.net/dvd9to5. The first test was the PAL version of Once Upon A Time In America, which comes on two discs. The first disc went just fine, mplex giving me a 4.3 Gb file which dvdauthor accepted without any warnings except a "GOP not closed", and I was able to make a DVD which played OK in a stand-alone player. The second disc, using the very same script, throws up errors. It's OK until mplex runs, when it immediately emits errors and squawks about me not giving it a %d in the name and it wanting to split the file: > INFO: [mplex] Scanned to end AU 0 > INFO: [mplex] Scanned to end AU 0 > INFO: [mplex] Run-in Sectors = 89 Video delay = 13019 Audio delay = 16619 > INFO: [mplex] New sequence commences... > INFO: [mplex] Video e0: buf= 237568 frame=000000 sector=00000000 > INFO: [mplex] Audio bd: buf= 16384 frame=000000 sector=00000000 > INFO: [mplex] Running out... > INFO: [mplex] Video e0: buf= 235556 frame=000000 sector=00000001 > INFO: [mplex] Audio bd: buf= 16384 frame=000000 sector=00000000 >**ERROR: [mplex] Need to split output but there appears to be no %d in the filename >pattern movie.mpg OK, so I run it again with a %d in the filename. While it's running I see a huge number of these: > INFO: [mplex] Audio bd: buf= 16384 frame=000000 sector=00000000 > INFO: [mplex] Running out... > INFO: [mplex] Video e0: buf= 237310 frame=000000 sector=00000001 > INFO: [mplex] Audio bd: buf= 16384 frame=000000 sector=00000000 > INFO: [mplex] New sequence commences... > INFO: [mplex] Video e0: buf= 183011 frame=000000 sector=00000028 > INFO: [mplex] Audio bd: buf= 11776 frame=000003 sector=00000003 And when it's finished I find I have 926 output files!!!! Most of then are 4Kb, a few are 6Kb, the second last is 66Kb and the last is 4 Gb or so. The man page for mplex mentions sequence end/start points but only in the context of VCD/SVCD. I'd be grateful if anyone could shed light on what it might be in the source stream which makes mplex behave this way and whether I can (and should!) prevent it. jim ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the new InstallShield X. >From Windows to Linux, servers to mobile, InstallShield X is the one installation-authoring solution that does it all.
