23.976 x264 .AVI won´t mux to .MP4 with YAMB

[idamien]

Hi,

Just finished some HD-DVD backup encodings to x264 using VfW (Death the Sheep) in VirtualDubMod getting some .avi files as the video output. Next tried to mux the video, audio, subtitles and chapters into .mp4 using Yamb 1.6 but Yamb issues an unclarified error when trying to open the .avi video file, so I can´t mux using Yamb 1.6.

Next I tried Yamb 2.0 Preview and again it can´t mux. Here though the error issued is that 23.976 FPS is not supported! Not supported for .mp4 container??? Or not supported FROM an .avi file? Or not supported FROM an .avi file CONTAINING h.264 encoded material.... AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

All I can say is that Yamb doesn´t do the job and I don´t think the problem is with the .avi files. I have tried muxing these same input .avi video, audio, subtitle and chapters files to .mkv using mkvtoolnix and it works just fine... Also I have already done some backup encodes from HD-DVD to x264 using the command line converter and outputting to .mp4 and it worked just fine. The .avi files play perfectly.

So my guess is: it´s not a feature supported by Yamb.

Is this correct? Am I missing something? Is there another tool that muxes .avi x264 23.976 material to .mp4 along with audio, subtitles and chapters?

Sorry if I wrote something stupid and thanks for reading and trying to help.

YAMB is only a GUI to MP4BOX. Open a command prompt and CD to the folder where mp4box is located, also copy/move the avi there. Type:

MP4Box -add video_name.avi -fps 23.976 video_name.mp4

If that doesn't work, mux the AVI to MKV and then extract the video. It will extract as track1.h264 (raw), and I am sure YAMB can work with it.

Try the latest Yamb, as the Yamb 2 preview is older... Kurtnoise brings out a new build every few weeks, the last one being 13 June 2007, and before that the beginning of June. They can be downloaded from his website here:

Yeah, you have to use the 2.xxx builds to do that flawlessly.
