Muxman 0.13 released - Page 3

mpucoder · 1st April 2005, 19:52

If you are using scp or mxp the scene name tells you which one was not created.
If you are using a chapter list look at the scene name in the error message, it always ends with a number. The number is the chapter number that was not created. In your case the 13th chapter.

So I just open my celltimes.txt file in notepad and delete the last chapter manually?

About the colour palette: Does the project file operate with YCrCB colour values or RGB?

If that is the 13th chapter, yes.

RGB

Make a profile using Muxman 0.11c - it's the last version to have the "make profile" checkbox, and available in my forum archives in case you deleted it. Don't worry about what 0.11c makes for a DVD, profile information allows me to synthesize the entire m2v file.

Excellent!!! Just done and sent to your e-mail the mxl file...

I found the problem, and there will be a new version soon. Just so you know why it changed when you modified the m2v, vobu planning uses random access to the video file, and the standard seek function uses a 32-bit signed integer for file position. Therefore it cannot be used to position beyond 2GB, and leaves the file at its current position. This means that the problems only happened beyond 2GB.

mpucoder · 3rd April 2005, 11:43

OK, version 0.13e is now available at the Muxman homepage
Fixes two problems:
some bmp files not being decoded properly
chapter points beyond 2GB in the video file were not always at the correct frame.

Sir Didymus · 3rd April 2005, 20:38

Confirming in my test 0.13e solved the glitch on the chapter points...
Very subtile and difficult to catch, this one...

Compliments!!!

@mpucoder

yeah.. fseek bit me in the --- with some stuff i added to pulldown.exe.

_fseeki64 works alot better.

DMagic1 · 6th April 2005, 07:30

I have 4 seperate m2v files I'm adding in. All except one is accepted.
If I add that one first its accepted but all others after it are rejected. If I add the others first then that same one gets rejected.

mpucoder · 6th April 2005, 08:57

All the files must have the same attributes like resolution, aspect ratio, framerate, pan/scan data, and CC. The log gives you a code for why the file was rejected. You can also open just one video file and look at the line under the filename on the main gui to see its attributes.

I's like to second CoNs request for a subtitle colour import. I know you mentioned in another post that the default palette for MuxMan is the same as it is for Scenarist...well not owning a copy of Scenarist leaves me a bit in the dark (I am using Subtitle Creator to make my bitmaps and tending to see only black and white) so I was wondering if you or someone else in the know can tell be what the default colours are, this way I can continue to be lazy and not have to pull colours from other IFO files with IFOEdit...

Of course I assume eventually you will have a palette editor in MuxMan...

mpucoder · 8th April 2005, 19:04

The easy way to see the default palette is to save a project with Muxman, even an empty one, then look at the project file.

The IfoEdit way, definitely works....
I am not sure about the others....

So MuxMan is frame number based only!

Thanks... I had forgot this.

mpucoder, about the subtitle colours: r0lZ also thought it was too much of a hassle to implement a function in PgcEdit to parse all PGCs in an .ifo and to let the user select the relevant PGC to copy the colours from.

However, he has now added an import/export subtitle colour function in the latest version of PgcEdit (v0.5.2beta2), which add an export and an import button in the color lookup table editor, so that you will be able to save the color table, and reuse it whenever you need it.

The new function loads/saves the raw, unmodified color table in binary, as it is stored in the IFO (64 YCrCb bytes - the first byte of each color is a null, pad byte) with a .CLB file extension ("PGC Color Lookup Table" file).

It would be really great if you would add a "Import subtitle colours" function in MuxMan (right below the "Import Chapters" function in File menu) which simply loads such a .CLB file and uses the colours for the project. Please? As you can see, more users would find such a function very useful, it's not just me who keeps buggin' ya!

EDIT: The latest beta of PgcEdit is available via the "All Versions" link of the PgcEdit homepage at VideoHelp.

Or, open IFOEdit and check it out from there. Thanks for the reply, but I think my problems are arising in Subtitle Creator...

The IFOEdit way will give you YCbCr values, whereas looking at Muxman's .mxp file will show you RGB ones.

Just a note to all in NTSC land using muxman...

If you use a pulled down asset for muxman, it does the opposite w/ .5 frames as scenarist

Scenarist appends the missing field and add's the frame, muxman drops the extra field and uses the last full frame.. - only really matters for chapter locations

jsoto · 11th April 2005, 01:32

Hi,

I know 448k is the usual maximum rate in DD tracks included in DVDs and I'm not sure if a DD with a bitrate of 512k or 640k in DVDs is legit or not, but muxman accepts them

Because these bitrates have a frame size higher than the available room in one pack, there will be some packs without a frame header.
In my understanding, in these packs, muxman fails:
- Frame header count is filled to one. I believe it has to be zero.
- First access unit pointer is pointing out of the pack.

jsoto

PS: You can easily create a 512k/640k ac3 with besweet using a 384k as input:
BeSweet.exe -core( -input "Audio_384.ac3" -output "Audio_640.ac3" -logfile "Audio_640.log" ) -azid( -g 1 -c normal ) -ac3enc( -b 640 )
