Problem with muxman converting bmp to vob

[tigrilito]

Hi,

I have trouble with muxman 0.14g converting a single BMP image (resolution 720x480) to a VOB.
All I do is specify my image as the video source, no added sound, no subpictures. When I hit the Start button everything seems to be working fine but when I open the result in WMP or DVD Remake all I get is a black frame.

The log file did not show any errors either but for completeness here it is :

MuxMan version 0.14g
Accepted image G:\Temp\looney.bmp
20:59:09 Begin multiplex.
Maximum audio duration 0 fields.
new graphics buffer size 1244160.
Starting scene Segment_1_scn1 at 00:00:00:00
SeqEnd at 1CA9.
Bytes remaining in buffer = 0.
20:59:09 End multiplex.
Bitrate - avg: 163676, min: 163676 (lba 0), max: 163676 (lba 0).
Shortest GOP has 2 fields, longest GOP has 2 fields.
Fields: 30, Still fields: 28, VOBU: 1, Sectors: 5.

Any idea why it is not working ?

TIA.

I think you need to adjust the duration. The muxman log
shows the output is 30 frames. When I replace end credits
with a still, I set a duration of 6 seconds which muxman
says is 720 frames, so your still is only displaying for .25
seconds. You set the duration in the window that pops
up after you've selected your video.

Hi hf,

I tried that but it didn't help much... now I see 6 seconds of pitch black frames.
Even added some sound which I can hear but no video at all :-(

It seems like muxman just ignores the bmp.

If you can send the bmp to me I'll see if there is a problem decoding it. See your private message for the email address.

Just sent it along with the generated VOB.

The bitmap is a 32-bit bitmap. These are not supported by MuxMan - yet. And when they are they will support the alpha channel. For versions of Muxman up to 0.15 convert the bitmap to 24-bit.

Thanks a bunch mpucoder. I resaved as 24bit and it works like a charm.
I didn't see that limitation in the readme or on the muxman web page but maybe I missed it.

Thanks so much for the great tool and support.
