So, when you do that you need to specify to 'mplex' the sum of the video and audio bitrates + a small amount for the multi- plexing overhead. I use 2% as a general guidline. Thus in your case that would be (4500 + 224) * 1.02 or 4818. It is quite safe to specify a slightly higher value to mplex, in this case I'd use 4900: mplex -f 9 -r 4900 -o output m2v mp2 In general if you get mplex errors like 'too many frame drops' just incrase the -r value a little bit at a time until the errors go away. It's not until you get into the HDTV arena that other limits/problems begin to creep in - not something you'll have to worry about at this time though ;) Cheers, Steven Schultz ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by Shop4tech.com-Lowest price on Blank Media 100pk Sonic DVD-R 4x for only $29 -100pk Sonic DVD+R for only $33 Save 50% off Retail on Ink & Toner - Free Shipping and Free Gift. http://www.shop4tech.com/z/Inkjet_Cartridges/9_108_r285 _______________________________________________ Mjpeg-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mjpeg-users
