Question to gurus.

I am trying to make new version of VCD Header Trick plugin, which would not require TMPGEnc as a tool for rewriting header to MPEG-1. This can be done by fixing default.ini file of bbMPEG before it starts muxing and then launching RunbbMPEG.exe.

The big problem is that I don't know which settings can be used for bbMPEG. Even more - I tried to mux .mpv (which is MPEG-2) and .mp2 files manually with bbMPEG and set it to output MPEG-1 file. Produced file plays fine on PC but is jerky on DVD player when burned as VCD.

Most probably it's about "Startup delays" , "Buffer sizes" or "Pack options" which I don't really understand.

Could anyone explain how to achieve VCD Header Trick manually with bbMPEG in case I have MPEG-2 .mpv file and encoded .mp2 audio?

Thanks in advance.

Actually I know the settings now, which work. However DVD2SVCD or bbMPEG behaves very strange at cutting point. After the "fake" MPEG-2 is produced, DVD2SVCD says "Analyzing audio of bbMPEG_Muxed_File00.mpg" and determines it's 0.00 minutes long.

It cuts first file correctly (800 mb) however can't cut the second file (it's 1.6 Gb, full movie). Any hints from DVD2SVCD author? :)
