ProjectX collections management question.

[Cyberpro60]

I have installed that latest version of ProjectX [v0.90.4] but the "collection handling mechanism" seems to be quite different from the ProjectX user guide found elsewhere on Doom9 and I am having trouble figuring out how to get it to work properly.

[Doom's ProjectX userguide seems to pertain to an earlier version and it needs to be updated]

In the earlier version of ProjectX there was a tick box option on the main page to "process all collections". When this box was ticked all the individual streams [Collections] in a transport stream were demuxed simultaneously. With the new version only one "selected" stream [collection] is demuxed.

The new version doesn't seem to have this option - or at least I have found it yet. This means that I can only demux a transport stream one program/substream [collections] at a time which can be quite time consuming. To make matters worse, ProjectX seems to have difficulty in displaying a video preview of anything other than the first "Program" in the transport stream which means that you are somewhat in the dark about which substreams to demux.

It appears the new version enables you to pick the substream [collection] with a +/- button option but the operation of this mechanism is quite illogical and difficult to comprehend.

Has anybody else noted this quirk? Do you understand how this works and can you please share your understanding?

The version you noted is the latest per se, but there is a modified version available thats in my opinion superior, mainly because I had some problems with sync and compatibility etc with the original that the new one doesn't have. Also the new one can cope with DVD format, so if a faulty DVD is ripped it can be passed through the new Projectx and able to be encoded etc without sync problems or crashes.

The original and modified versions can be found here:

The latest of which is only a month old.

Er, thanx for this post, maybe!

The reason I am a little hesitant is that (a) this alternate version doesn't address the problem that was the reason for this post, namely, how to get the latest version of ProjectX to extract ALL elements of a transport stream AT ONCE and (b) because it seems you have to pay to get hold of a full windows version of the alternate version of ProjectX (isn't ProjectX supposed to be free software anyways? :)

That's still the same version actually... just compiled to native code with a commercial tool.

You can do it yourself if you buy the tool.. but it's going to work the same only a bit faster.

I've got the same version but from the original site, so just go to the original site if you want the latest code...

It's allowed by the GPL. It's not free as in price remember. It's free as in rights.... Also it's not a recoded full windows version it's just a compilation with a native-code compiler.

All of this is very nice folks but nobody has yet provided a solution to the problem that generated this thread, namely, how do I extract ALL substreams from a transport stream at once?

NB: I seem to be drawing a blank here with both ProjectX and PVAStrumento as neither seem to extract the streams I want to recover. Both seem to assume that the first video stream in the transport stream is the one to recover and that, in most cases, is NOT the stream that I want.

With Project X, as indicated above, there was a tickbox that enabled the extraction of all substreams simultaneously. I can't find this option in any of the latest versions. How is this achieved now?

NB: I can sort of achieve the result I want with Elecard XMuxer Pro but this program doesn't correct for stream errors and the resulting output is therefore practically unusable due to repeated time code errors breaking synch between video and audio streams.
