I think the problem is the same - but the symptom has shifted slightly because the input is (slightly) different. > I tried the following mplex commands, with no more luck: > mplex -f 8 02.ac3 02.m2v -o 02_r.mpeg > mplex -f 8 -V -r 10404 02.ac3 02.m2v -o 02_r.mpeg > ++ WARN: [mplex] Stream e0: data will arrive too late sent(SCR)=477476 > required(DTS)=477419 > ++ WARN: [mplex] Audio bd: buf= 11869 frame=000173 sector=00000077 > ++ WARN: [mplex] Video e0: buf= 79782 frame=000129 sector=00000447 > INFO: [mplex] STREAM bd completed @ frame 17656. > INFO: [mplex] Scanned to end AU 14125 > INFO: [mplex] No. Pictures : 14126 > INFO: [mplex] No. Groups : 942 > INFO: [mplex] No. I Frames : 942 avg. size 68465 bytes > INFO: [mplex] No. P Frames : 13184 avg. size 44546 bytes > INFO: [mplex] No. B Frames : 0 avg. size 0 bytes > INFO: [mplex] Average bit-rate : 9228000 bits/sec > INFO: [mplex] Peak bit-rate : 9768800 bits/sec > INFO: [mplex] BUFFERING min 17 Buf max 235543 > **ERROR: [mplex] MUX STATUS: Frame data under-runs detected! > Any clue? Yep ;) It seems that the stream is slightly high in bitrate. This is a good example of why leaving some "headroom" (not pusing things up to the maximum limits) is a good idea. Look at the peak rate of 9768800 9768800 + 224000 (audio) = 9992800 Now I use 2.5% as the overhead in a "VOB" stream so 9992800*1.025 = 10242620 and that is over the 10.08 megabits/sec for the DVD format "-f 8". Mplex is detecting that the VBV buffer size is not sufficient to accomodate the input streams. IF that analysis is correct (and I'm not way off-base which has been known to happen ;)) then all that's needed is to get the average bitrate down another ~160 kbits/sec. Couple things to try - could change the bitrate to '-b 9400'. OR try adding "-E -10" to the mpeg2enc - that enables the 'single coefficient elimination' rules at a moderate threshold, I have seen that lower the average bitrate 10% without (visibly) degrading the image. Good Luck!
