Ifoedit's dropped frames - once more

[Tarantula]

My case is this:

I wanted to a) maintain original dvd-structure, b) re-encode the video using tmpgenc, and c) remux the main movie with Ifoedit and replace it using VobBlanker.

The problem is the notorious "too many dropped frames". The video is encoded 4400kbps average, 8000 max.

But the question is this: Is there a simpler way to all this? Keeping everything on the dvd intact, but only replacing the movie m2v?

And another question, thus not so important: Is there a way to quickly check if the video ever maxes out? Some tool that gives you a paragraph of the used bitrate within the video?

To remux, try muxman

Dunno about the bitrate tool - perhaps the Philips Verifier.

Cannot use muxman. The movie has 6 audiostremas and 9 subtitles. As far as I know muxman only supports like 3 or 4 each.

As mentioned before, original dvd-structure is crucial.

6 audio streams!!. May be this is too much (in terms of bitrate) to use with 8000 max video. It is well known that IFOEdit authoring has problems using high (close to the maximum) bitrates. I've never had a problem with 8000 max (using CCE), but never tried with 6 audios!!

How much is your total audio bitrate?

Other problem can be the subs.. How did you extract the subs? Using VobEdit will give you this error (if there are more than one VID).
Alternatives to VobEdit are pgcDemux or VobSub+SubToSup

The total bitrate for all audio (5x192kbps + 1x96kbps) is 1056kbps, bringing to a total of 9056kbps. I'm not sure, but it should be below the maximum for a dvd.

I am now trying to demux all audio and subp streams with pgcdemux. I should have new results in the morning, for it is almost 1AM here.

But should this not work, what are my options for only replacing the main movie m2v? I tried Ifoedits "remux m2v", but it made the video jerky.

I have used VobEdit instead of IfoEdit if delays were present.

Strangely enough, when I demuxed the streams with Pcgdemux, Ifoedit complained nothing. The problem is solved.

But still I'm curious as to if there is a simpler procedure to just change the main m2v.

But anyway, thanks jsoto, you saved my ass once again :)
