How to run bbMPEG manually?

[pepsimaxx]

Hi guys,

I need to know how to manually run bbMPEG to mix audio and video streams into a 2 CD output.

During audio conversion BeSweet failed (error 57?) but DVD2SVCD contiuned and produced an file named "Encoded_Video_CCE_PAL.mpv". I then got BeSweet GUI and produced an "Encoded_audio_1.mp2".

Now I wanna mix the video and audio stream but how do I do that? I can't use the recover option because it wants to proceed from video encoding.

Hope u can help me out :)

you can do one of many things...
1) edit your dvd2svcd.ini file and change one of the lines from (47?) to 62 which should give you a crash recovery option of continuing on from the muxing stage

or you could search on another forum for how to use bbmpeg as this forum is for dvd2svcd :)

It is the line with 'projectposition', and yes, it is '62'. After that you can select every stage to continue from. Of course it won't work if you select a stage later than your process went.

Thanks 2 both of u. U saved me some precious time (I hope). Gonna give it a go the minute I get home. :)

Make sure you have _all_ the files that particular stage requires, or it's not going to be very happy with you (nor you with it) ;)

Luckily the reason for the recovery not could begin at the muxing stage was because I reran the audio extration process once more to make a "Encoded_audio_1.mp2.wav to use with the BeSweet GUI. I then shut down DVD2SVCD in order not to mess up the encoded video.

The interesting part is I tried to run bbMPEG from the directory where it is installed and it produced 1 file containing the first CD but did not continue and make the second CD.

But thanks for pointing it out :)

There is a guide for bbMPEG (SVCD/VCD Guides->DVD2AVI->CCE Guide->Remux&Split) at doom9.org.
The other workaround might be to determine the lenght of the first file in seconds (WinSubMux will do just fine, you need to recalculate though) and put the value in "Start second" box of "General settings" in bbMPEG. You can also put some overlap. Good luck.
