Undead Sega · 14th November 2009, 22:01

i will try that option, however i am wanting to mux the streams into a wmv, would i be able to do that in graphedit?

but either way, why am i getting that error in the muxer? Unless u are suggesting that i mux the two streams into an avi and open it in SolveigMM ASF Muxer to mux it into a wmv?

Yes, that's more or less the idea.

Undead Sega · 15th November 2009, 20:52

i see, if thats the casde, isnt tere a simpler tool that can easily take my h.264 and ac3 streams into an AVI?

jmartinr · 15th November 2009, 23:13

avs2avi and then avimux gui.

Undead Sega · 16th November 2009, 03:25

why avs2avi? wat would i need that for or its purpose to me?

can it just use avimux gui to take the streams directly?

jmartinr · 16th November 2009, 12:55

Maybe it's not necessary for the Solveig Muxer. It has a checkbox for H264. Just try.

Some years ago I tried what you are doing now, and then changed to MP4, which makes streaming a lot more straight forward. Just had a quick look at my test ASF-files from that time. They play fine in VLC, but not in MPC or WMP. At the time I tried a few options, one of them was VLC, that can do a remux. The test file that plays in VLC is probably done with VLC.

Out of curiosity I just tried an avi to ASF remux with the Solveig Muxer. It plays but shows video corruption.

Undead Sega · 16th November 2009, 23:42

i have also tried that at the first go and i still ran into the same problem.

i am on avimux gui now, and so far i can only input the ac3 stream but i cannot with the h264 stream, is there something that i am missing?

h264 in avi comes with some pecularities. Use search. But anyways, I tried the avi route, and it didn't work that well. What do you want to do with your muxed files?

chris_h · 17th November 2009, 07:02

I have a media player (two of them actually, one is part of the TV) that does not seem to like wma3 audio in a wmv file (I think you guys call that the container). The video plays fine, but I get an "audio codec unsupported" message on screen.

So I was thinking that I could use this tool to convert the audio stream. I am getting this error:

Could not set audio profile, (hresult = 0x80070003)
Cause: The system cannot find the path specified.
Encoding...
Got event: 3
Conversion aborted, (hresult = 0x8000ffff)

I thought I had seen a similar error in this thread before, but now I can not find it. Do I have to demux the audio from the video first, so that I have two seperate files, and then reencode the audio and multiplex?

Thanks in advance.

Tried that, but there is something wrong with the file output by solveig, when you play it back on hardware there is no sound, just sound "blops" at intervals.

And wmvmux just says event 14 and quits...

Just retried Solvieg and had some succes without audio (some corruption on seeking, but for the rest functional video's), but not with audio. I've no idea for a solution.

Hi folks,

I know this is an Older post ... but can anyone, including the Author of this program - CRYPTO (if he is still around), help me with this problem ... every time I try to run the program on my laptop which has Vista Home PRemium, SP2, 64-Bit ... I get the following Error ...

"Cannot continue. This program requires HDTV Dump Filter Version 1.2 or later. Please check, if the filter is installed and registered."

BTW, I have already seen the Earlier Post saying to Register the Filter ... and that does NOT help.

Also, I have scoured the interent and there is NO "HDTV Dump Filter Version 1.2" ... the latest version I can find is 1.1 and that does Not work.

The reason I am after this program ... is because I am looking for a Program that it will simply REMux my existing WMV file ... I do Not want to Reencode ...

my WMV video file plays Fine on my "Netgear EVA9100 TV Media Player" (it is a media player like WDTV Media Player) but I can NOT Fast Forward (FF) the file ... every time I try FF the video file ... it goes back to the Beginning of the darn file.

Can anyone provide any Help!

Thanks,

G!

I had the same error, but registering the filter solved that. What happens when you run the batch file?

lovelove · 31st August 2011, 16:41

does transcoding/muxing job until last frame, but then "hangs" and can't finish the file. I tried that with several different input files. Same result. Input conforms to ASF specs, I tested with ASFvalidator. It's a pitty, because the GUI looks clean and promising. Here are the A/V properties: ...any ideas what's going wrong ?

After so many "catastrophic failures"

, I had to stop using Crypto's WMV Muxer

In most cases, SolveigMM ASF Muxer and/or AsfBin are suffficient, but sometimes, ffmpeg

or/and vidtoasf are required too.

SeeMoreDigital · 31st August 2011, 17:24

Indeed...

Crypto's WMV muxer has a friendly enough GUI (much like his MP4 Muxer) but sadly it never seemed to get finished enough to be stable!

Real shame

I got a "catastrophic failures", aborted, retried (without touching settings), again, "catastrophic failure", aborted, retried (without touching settings) and this time I didn't get an error (talk about consistency ... :-) ). But although no error is issued, the program still "hangs" on the last frame and doesn't finish.

I need to mux audio track (wma) and video track (wmv), I didn't find a way in AsfBin GUI to do that. Is it possible in GUI? Or only in cmd ln? or not at all?

As for SoveigMM ASF muxer, I don't know how to use it. I have registered SMM_ASFMuxer.ax but what now? There is no executable.

I also tried vidtoasf, but it doesn't accept wmv as input (pretty weird for a wmv muxer):

Code:

vidtoasf -in video.wmv -audiofile audio.wma -out out.asf
Error: Invalid input file extension.

what alternatives (other ASF muxers) are there?
I only found WmvStreamEditor but it crashes upon startup.

Did you try FFmpeg/libav and VLC already?
