Hello all,

my standalone player (Yakumo DVD Master DX4) has
problems playing certain videofiles from dvds I
authored with dvdauthor.
The sound plays for some seconds and stops then,
the picture is asynchronous and much too slow
(like a slideshow).
I multiplexed them with "mplex -f 8" without errors or warnings,
let the dvd structure create by dvdauthor, then mkisofs,
burn.

mpginfo tells me for such a file:

  That means at these points the time stamp is earlier than the previous

The final dvd plays well on my old Cyberhome 505 and
any software dvd player i tried - but not the Yakumo.

The strange thing is that i have other files, produced
exactly the same way, which play on the Yakumo well too,
even on the same dvd.
Here is the mpginfo output of a file which works:

The "estimated duration" seems to be completely wrong for
all the files. The good.mpg with est. dur. "01:22:15.50"
for instance has a playing time of about 6 and a half minutes.

My questions are:

How can i find out differences between the files which
work and the ones which do not work? I encoded and multi-
plexed them all the same way.

Should I worry about the complaints of mpginfo? And if
so:  Is there any way to fix/rebuild the timestamps?
Mpginfo gives no warnings when it analyzes the demuxed
.m2v and .mp2 files. But after muxing them with mplex
the warnings come up again.

I already demuxed them with mpgdemux and remultiplexed
them again with mplex but it seems to make absolutely
no difference.

Thanks and greetings,
Leander
