I try to join multiple m2v files by adding them to a single project and then selecting “Save Project and Demux video”. The m2v file that I take as a result plays fine but when I try to merge it with AC3 sound using DVDAuthorGUI I get an error about wrong end-sequences inside the file. My guess is that DGIndex do not remove the end-sequences from the intermediate files.

Could you have a look at it?

Thanks a lot in advance!:)

Your analysis is correct. You can use Restream to delete the sequence end codes from your combined M2V file.

Dgindex just pulls the video stream data and writes it to the new file. it does parse the stream of course and adding code to remove the sequence end code wouldnt be impossible, but that level of futzing with the video is more than the demux option was meant for (imho). adding a sequence end code removal would be a feature. not having it would not be considered a bug.

a warning would be nice and less work than altering the stream. just have to count the sequence end codes as they hit. a warning for >1, a warning for 0 and a warning if 1 but not at the end of the stream (in conjunction with the demux option)
