MeGUI: Producing corrupt files. Suspect MKVMerge.

[Sivar]

I am trying to back up movies (from DVDs which work fine) and have run into a problem with several of them.
The resulting file ends up being small (a little larger than the encoded MP3) and corrupt.
This started just in the last 5 weeks or so, but may be related to the movies encoding rather than the version of a tool that comes with MeGUI.

The log (complete file attached) repeatedly says:
[Warning] A warning occurred: Warning: 'D:\path\to\movies\movieName_Video_0.264' track 0: This MPEG audio track contains 2 bytes of non-MP3 data which were skipped. The audio/video synchronization may have been lost.
(italic parts change)

I use the 1-click encoder and choose a VOB file and encode it with fairly slow 2-pass settings. The problem occurs whether I am transcoding the audio to MP3 or simply adding the original AC3 or DTS track, so I don't think it has anything to do with MP3.

It seems to be similar to the problem this guy is having:
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=145881

He suspects that MKVMerge thinks the video file is actually an MP3. Why it would think that, I am unsure.

With at least one of the movies, I got a good encoding in CRF mode, so I think the DVD rips are fine.

How can I fix this or otherwise get working MKV files? TIA.

replace the files in megui/tools/mkvmerge folder with the ones that come with this: http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/win32/pre/mkvtoolnix-unicode-2.8.0-build20090513-128.7z
and report back.

When i use ripbot with mp3 it always skippes 1024 bytes.

replace the files in megui/tools/mkvmerge folder with the ones that come with this:

Sadly, this appears to have not entirely worked.
I was able to encode one movie which previously did not work, but when encoding K19, the log filled with the same error messages.
Attached is the log.

On another note, I've noticed that MeGUI's auto-update feature has an update for MKVMerge. Perhaps I will try it.

Sharktooth: If there anything else I might try?

[Sivar]

I recently tried the updated MKVMerge which the auto-update installs (2.8.0-129) and it, too (assuming it's MKVMerge at all) has the "non-MP3 data" warnings and creates corrupt video files.

same here by encoding a HD dvb capture
