Muxman - simple DVD authoring

[mpucoder]

You can set an audio delay of up to 300ms, that should get you close enough to be unnoticable.
Nothing goes into the AUDIO_TS folder, and no player should need it. Since the product of Muxman could go to any folder you like it will not create an AUDIO_TS folder. Most burning programs will add an empty AUDIO_TS folder for you, or you can create it yourself. Just remember to use all uppercase letters.

The problem is your maximum bitrate is too high. I'm not familiar with QuEnc, but it should have settings for minimum, average, and maximum bitrate. Set the max to around 9000. Right now you're maxing at over 14Mbps. This is why Muxman gives you the stats, so you will know just how high the encoder went.

Yes, you can use jsoto's delaycut - see http://www.posunplugged.com/jsoto/ .

quenc is very prone to bitrate spikes (and/or vbv issues )so you have to set the bitrate lower. scenarist will outright refuse alot of quenc streams.

OK. So I am going to correct the AC3 delay with the delay correct utility. In QuEnc I set the bitrate to 2048 and still got a max bitrate of 10851. Muxman processed this with no errors. The sould is still off and the delay corrector may help with that. It may be a problem with the original HD stream. I watchted the show on TV with captions on, and saw that the captions came before the actual words were spoken, sometimes as much as 2-3 seconds earlier.

Anyway to set the bitrate in the Avisynth script that QuEnc is opening? Any benefit to adding the audio in the avisynth script since QuEnc59 can handle audio, though I do not see any option for it anywhere.

The delay between captions and sound is not a good way to judge sync as captions are supposed to preceed dialog. Watch the actors lips, listen for cues such as doors closing, footsteps, etc to judge audio sync.
As for your other questions about avisynth and QuEnc - these are best asked in their respective forums.

I found the problem. It was not due to any delay. I had converted a 59.94fps program down to 29.97 for dvd frame rate in the avisynth script that was processed by QuEnc. I had not done the same to the audio so the more I played the more out of synch it got. Let me look at how to reduce the audio frame rate.

Short of the audio which is my fualt, the program is perfect.

Also how about adding a check box to make vob files of around 650mb so they fit on cd for miniDVD recording instead of the default 1gig for regular dvd's.

hi all

i don't think my problem deserves a new thread
since i've forgotten this twice now, i wonder if muxman could add a warning, before compiling, when no chapters are added ?

thanks :)

[Trahald]

hehe.. well.. if mpucoder is inclined to do so i hope he makes it an option (i normally dont bother with chapters..) i have mostly been just testing muxman.. my dvd player can seek to a specific time also.

I'd like to have the version number somewhere in the GUI. May be in the about box?

Will Muxman create a Menu to point to 2 or more movies copied onto a dvd? I want to copy my old b&w movies on dvd ( say 2 or more per dvd) and would like to create a menu to select the movie to watch.

No, that is not its purpose.

I'm going to close this thread, as SeeMoreDigital said, there is a newer one.
