However that re-coding/transcoding is being done (I didn't' see anything that looked like decode/encode commands) the output is in error about 10% of the time. Basically that indicates that the proceedure is on the verge of being broken and that it doesn't take much to generated out of (DVD) spec streams. > when mplex does an early termination with the warning data will arrive > too late in reference to the video stream I have not been able to figure What I am almost certain that mplex is saying is that the bitrate is too high for a DVD. > INFO: [mplex] SYSTEMS/PROGRAM stream: > INFO: [mplex] rough-guess multiplexed stream data rate : 0402496 > INFO: [mplex] target data-rate specified : 10080000 > INFO: [mplex] Setting specified specified data rate: 10080000 The first number 0402496 is a result of a bug in 1.8.0 - that's obviously a bogus value. However, the 'target bitrate' seems to indicate you're right up against the absolute limit for a DVD (10.08 Mb/s). No headroom for the bitrate at all. > INFO: [mplex] Audio c0: buf= 0 frame=000000 sector=00000000 > INFO: [mplex] Video e0: buf= 0 frame=000000 sector=00000000 > ++ WARN: [mplex] Stream e0: data will arrive too late sent(SCR)=107727725 > required(DTS)=107727626 Don't specify such a high bitrate. I didn't see anything that looked like an encoding command in the script that was given so I can't comment on the options being used except to say "lower the bitrate" (you won't see the difference).
