Scenarist problem

[Molly]

I've never had something like this, and it's been years since I've started using BigThree.

I'm having this problem in Scenarist:

Error Vobu duration for 1th picture has 2 frames, it should be equal to or more than 10 frames
Error dvd_mux : DoMux Multiplexing Error
Error Terminated Multiplexing (ScenAid30-dummy_VTS02_P1_C31_Track_t.vob).
Error Number of frames in a VOBU is out of DVD spec. Please check MPEG video file or move CELL boundary.
Error Multiplex is failed.
Error Multiplexing failed, Track "dummy_VTS02_P1_C31_Track"

Error MuxFromDB:MuxVTS failed
Error Multiplex failed
Error DVD Video files could not be created

Any other info needed to solve this, just ask, I don't want to give you every single log if it isn't needed.

Thanks anyone.

one option to fix this is to remove cell 31 from your scenario in scenarist, and use a legal 12 frame blank video in its place.

how familiar are you with using scenarist manually?

[Molly]

Just say no familiar with it at all.

I'll try my best to do what you've explained, but it'll have to be after Easter.

Thanks!

[jel]

okay i will try to make it as easy as possible.

check this guide for a bit of background info on scenarist:
http://www.doom9.org/index.html?/mpg/scenarist.htm

so ...

1. open the project in scenarist
2. navigate to cell 31 in vts_o2 in the scenario editor window (top left tabs - 3rd from left)
3. click on the cell and hit delete
4. switch to data editor tab
5. go to your scenaid program folder:
C:\Program Files\ScenAid and select the "dummy_pal_169.m2v" file and drag and drop this to the data editor window
6.go to the track editor and from the asset manager window (bottom right) open the data folder till you find the "dummy_pal_169.m2v" and drag it to the track editor window.
7. if asked, select "slideshow"
8. double click on new track you have created
9. highlight the black video and in the property browser (bottom middle window) change the duration from 00:00:10;00 to 00:00:00;12
10. go to settings > colour pallette and change from default to vts_02 colour pallette
11. switch to scenario editor window and drag and drop your new track onto the last PROGRAM of vts_02
12. compile and update as ususal.

good luck

btw i wont be around much after easter but i am sure someone will help you out if you run into any problems.
