I have my own crappy little easy way of fixing the problem (using batch file search and replace). I just think it is a good/necessary feature to implement, if you are going to be modifying it anyway

You are right there. Unfortunately I haven't started yet, coz I didnt get the sources yet from D3s7

The moment I do I'll start

D3s7 · 3rd March 2005, 01:17

Probably won't be till this weekend...

I've got to clean up the source enough so you can figure out what's changed and rar it up...

course first I gotta remember what all I changed

No problem at all, subs are patient.. so am I

CoNS · 3rd March 2005, 22:52

I'm adding custom subs to a disc. It has 1 VTS and 1 PGC inside the VTS. I use PgcDemux latest version to demux. It tells me the PGC has an audio delay of -92. I usually use IfoEdit DVD author function to remux. I specified -92 ms as audio delay, but when I later loaded the output in PgcDemux again, it had a much higher audio delay, something like -179.

I then downloaded MuxMan and tried this neat proggy. This time, the specified audio delay of -92 became -79 in the outout disc. No errors were encountered during any of the remuxing processes. What can be causing the incorrect audio delay?

You've been around long enough to know not to crosspost.

The problem is probably in PgcDemux, but I am waiting for jsoto to read the post in IFO/VOB editors.

muxman creates still images to 4:3. can it create a 16:9 stills?
thanks

mpucoder · 4th March 2005, 17:34

Yes, it can, but currently you have to trick it. If you are using the gui, along with your bmp open any 16:9 m2v file. Allow Muxman to check it (ie close the file list dialog box), then open the file list again (click on ... on the video line) and remove the file.

Eventually there will be a dialog box to view and set attributes for images.

There is a bug which prevents version 0.12 from setting 16:9 for stills from a project file. That has been fixed in Muxman 0.12c and will be released within the hour. To specify a 16:9 use one of the following lines in the video segment section:
Display Mode=P/S and LB
Display Mode=Only Panscan
Display Mode=Only Letterbox

Nice!

Will we still be limited to inputting 720x480/576 BMP images? How about JPG, GIF, PNG etc. And images with bigger resolutions?

Cheers

mpucoder · 4th March 2005, 18:04

It will do resizing, but you might not like the results (if so, use a graphics editor before Muxman)
As for formats, jpg is a nice possibility as most jpg can be converted to mpeg without any additional loss (both jpeg and mpeg use the same color space and DCT, only the final encoding is different).
gif is a possibility if UniSys's copyright has expired.
I've looked at png, that will take some time for me to understand (note, in the past I wrote image processors for DOS using bmp, gif, and jpg)

mpucoder · 4th March 2005, 18:07

Now that 0.12c is out here is another way to change to 16:9 without a video file. Set everything up the way you'd like, then save the project to some file. Edit the file so that the Display Mode is one of the three in my earlier post, then reload the project file. You don't need to close Muxman in between.

katjarella · 4th March 2005, 19:35

Thanks for fixed 16:9 display modes for stills from project file

my wish list:
* support of "all" Video Resolutions (480x etc)
* create Stills as MPEG1
* selectable instruction : Duration or *Frame (Video List).
* Auto Create Chapter from Video or Audio List
* muxman Projekt:
*Layout Info { Target Directory= }
Item=PGC{ Pre Command= Post Command= PG Playback Mode= Repeat Times= PGC Still Time=}
later + Cell Command= Next PGC= Prev PGC= Goup PGC=

* IMPORTANTLY

No problem, we'll take the discussion there. About cross posting: I initially wrote about the problem in PgcDemux. Afterwards I got to think about the fact that MuxMan is involved in a way that you could be interested in, and so I searched the forum for a MuxMan thread and posted the question here, too, to make sure you'd notice. Anyway, I've replied in that other thread now.

since Muxman is a DVD authoring program 480x is not a standards valid resolution. that is specifically for SVCD.

I am aware of that. Maybe it is possible to disable the check of the resolution, though.

PS: I have accustomed myself that not all of my wishes come true.

rasta21 · 10th March 2005, 03:57

...i run muxman on my 128mb encoding machine...so here my little wishlist.

*set priority option (realtime /high /normal /low)
*status display when minimized to taskbar. (%) display in taskbar for example

CoNS · 11th March 2005, 22:17

Thx for this great program, mpucoder. I have a couple of requests:

- Function to import ifo subtitle colours (like loading chapters, in File menu).

- Option to force selected subpic stream on.

fluffysnurgle · 12th March 2005, 03:02

Is there any way to use Muxman to make DVDs which have multiple titles and possibly even menus? Muxman is a very good program, but one plain title on the disk isn't really enough for what I need now.

Thanks

Zeul · 12th March 2005, 09:28

fluffysurgle.
Muxman will eventually be a complete authoring tool, but at the moment Mpucoder has been making sure that the authoring engine works properly, and so it is tested in a single VTS environment. Multiple VTS will come, and so will menus at some point.

fluffysnurgle · 12th March 2005, 21:12

Thanks Zeul

What I have been doing is:
1) Multiplex each title with Muxman separately
2) Make an ISO for it
3) Use a DVD ripper to join the multiple VOBs into a single file
4) Pass the newly-joined VOB to DVDAuthor

This works well enough; but is a lot of steps. Unless there is a way to stop Muxman splitting VOBs at the 1GB boundary (in which case the VOB could be passed to DVDAuthor directly; but I think the 1GB file size is a DVD-Video requirement) I guess it will have to do.

Jeffster · 13th March 2005, 23:33

I think there may be a small bug in the way muxman concatenates video files. I don't know if it's of any consequence to the final DVD but I thought I'd mention it.

If I demux the VOB created by muxman and import the m2v into other programs, the length of the video file isn't recognized correctly, instead the reported length of the m2v appears to be that of the first video file that was added to muxman not the combined length.
