MuxMan 0.16.8

[mrr19121970]

I've got 2 small bug reports for MuxMan 0.16.8.

1) If you enter the output location of say F:\CCBB, then it kindly asks you if the program should add the VIDEO_TS folder. When you say yes, the folder is created and then the output is saved to F:\CCBB, and some output is saved to F:\CCBB\VIDEO_TS too.

2) The window can be scaled smaller than the group boxes, and this really stumped me as the progress bar was out of view. I was assuming the program was hanging, until I maximised it.

The other question is, how do I buy it. Pressing the Purchase/Download (http://www.mpucoder.com/forum/download.php4?file=muxman_1_3_2.zip&dir=12) option takes me to a login screen.

I was not able to reproduce your problem, after creating the VIDEO_TS folder all the files were created in it and nowhere else.
As for purchasing the advanced version, you must create an account first, this is how you access the download and any updates. After creating an account you can then purchase products. The website was just updated to make this clearer.

On my computer the second item occurs, too. I have to enlarge the window a little bit, as the last coloured line (blue??) is almost not visible. It happened with ALL versions of free muxman I've tried, on all computers (all of them XP). But this is just a small issue, mainly cosmetic.

@MPUCoder

Thanks for the reply. I have a small feature request, which would be nice to have. This is to auto generate Name= the same as 'Import Chapters' in projects were the name is missing.

Here is an example:

Item=Scene List
{
Item=Scene
{
Scene Time=00:00:00:00
}
Item=Scene
{
Scene Time=00:00:01:00
}
Item=Scene
{
Scene Time=00:00:02:00
}
}

MuxMan creates the missing items (Name= and Uop=). This is the result:

Item=Scene List
{
Item=Scene
{
Name=
Scene Time=00:00:00:00
Uop=00000000
}
Item=Scene
{
Name=
Scene Time=00:00:01:00
Uop=00000000
}
Item=Scene
{
Name=
Scene Time=00:00:02:00
Uop=00000000
}
}

As you can see the Name= entries are all the same, which results in navigation errors when skipping chapters or scanning through the timeline on the player.

i am trying to mux aac-mpeg2 with video but i get an error message (dvd supports only mpeg2 aac)...i triple check my sample with multiple tools and is aac-mpeg2...what tool produce aac-mpeg2 compatible with muxman?

[mpucoder]

DVD can not use aac (ISO/IEC 13818 part 7), only mpeg-1 level 2 (ISO/IEC 11172 part 3) and optionally the multichannel extension described in ISO/IEC 13818 part 3 are allowed for mpeg audio. Additionally, to be compliant an AC3 stream must be included on NTSC disks.

Hi mpucoder,

currently I do some testing for the upcoming new version of LameXP by LoRd_MuldeR, and I found that under certain conditions it produces Wave files which MuxMan (free version) rejects without giving any explanation. The thread is here:
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1479285#post1479285

I also uploaded a sample file to Sendspace:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/uvoop6

The problematic files are created by ValibDec from the AC3Filter toolkit. All players and wave editors open them, it is just MuxMan who does not. Opening and resaving the files in a wave editor repairs them for MuxMan. The same is true for piping the files through SoX.

Could you do some analysis to find out why MuxMan does not like the header of these files?

Thanks in advance

cheers

MuxMan rejected the file because it contains a junk chunk following the riff header. MuxMan does not expect this, it expects a fmt header. The other programs remove the junk chunk. I'll see about skipping junk between the 2 headers, but it will be a very low priority.

Yes, I think skipping the 'JUNK' chunk is the correct thing to do. Thanks for looking into this!

Hi All!
Muxman is a fantastic program.
But there's one unpleasant thing. When I demux DVD (with PGCDemux) I receive list of chapters celltimes.txt
But when I mux it back with Muxman, the chapters are not exactly at the same place where they were in original DVD. The difference is not critical, but sometimes... 0,5-1 sec... Can this be solved somehow?
