Elecard XMuxer Pro

It is pity that most interesting samples, test projects are going just outside the forum.

@Konstantin

I confirm that the latest empgdmx.ax that you sent resolves my stream detection issue. Thank you.

My next issue is that the Settings do not seem to work. I can find no documentation for them either. For example, setting the option for hex display and then returning to the Demux screen still shows decimal values. Am I doing something wrong?

Muxing tests begin now.

[Konstantin]

Hi neuron2,

I am glad, that could help you.
Really there is no description of section Settings in the documentation, it will appear in version 2.1 which now is in development.
Whether you could describe in more details problems with Settings (Scale of Notation) because this option works correctly.

Best Regards,
Konstantin.

I told you my exact problem above: "setting the option for hex display and then returning to the Demux screen still shows decimal values. Am I doing something wrong?"

After I load a file on the Demux screen, the stream IDs and PIDs are shown in decimal. I then set hex notation and return to the Demux screen. They are still shown in decimal. Also, the settings are not saved.

[Konstantin]

Hi neuron2,

Excuse me, really there are problems in Demux mode with "Scale of Notation" settings.
These problems are already solved, as I wrote earlier, the new version now prepares.
I shall inform on its release.

Best Regards,
Konstantin.

[Guest]

For me, the notation problem affects all the screens, not just Demux. It flat out does not work!

I'm curious to know why, given that your testing process is deficient in that it misses obvious bugs, you don't have a beta program with knowledgable users, such as you can find here. You jeopardise your product's reputation by making strings of releases to fix problems that you should easily find with a formal testing process.

Hi Konstantin. I have one question. Is xmuxer pro able to handle h.264 transport streams from german astra hdtv channels?

Thanks - fooled

Xmuxer can be usefull for demuxing nontypical TS streams as can be seen on this picture

Sample 34MB with multiaudio tracks was recorded with SkyView .

sample (http://www.filecrunch.com/file/~ihwyha)

Sample can be played with VLC Player with possibilty to set required audiotrack to play it back.

There is also multiplexed additional PID 0012 EIT carring all data about songs /all/ from that transponder with title, singer, album data, timing and so on.

Task to do: demux individual audiotrack and split that tracks to individual songs with all data connected with this song.

BTW SkyView can record songs as individual pieces with apropiate header but only from one PID.

All the Xmuxer Pro I have used always have problems with the software and full of bugs. The same goes for MainConcept Encoders (on MPEG2 works fine).

The Idea behind Xmuxer is terrific, if it could only work as it should it would be a great program.

Am not alone, go thru their forums and you'll be amazed how buggy are their programs and their poor customer support.

[Toti]

To prove my point I am using Elecard XMuxer Pro 2.2.70328 I just want to mux AVC+AC3.

http://aycu05.webshots.com/image/17764/2000264062130332873_rs.jpg
Everything good so far. Look what happens when I press start.
--------------------------------------------------------
nothing happens after 5 minutes. Then a quick look at Task Manager reveals "NOT RESPONDING".
http://aycu05.webshots.com/image/20644/2000263058711732732_rs.jpg

If any Xmuxer PRO can mux a AVC+AC3 let me know.

[Guest]

Youd didn't add the AC3 across to the right panel. I don't know if that's why it hung but still...

[Toti]

Youd didn't add the AC3 across to the right panel. I don't know if that's why it hung but still...

Thanks Neuron2, I know the pictures show that but I added them both. You can try it on your PC, I have used about five different versions of Xmuxer Pro. Their two different AVC plugins and its impossible to mux AVC & AC3 to create a .ts file.

When I record a .ts video that has errors thats when I run it through MPEGRepair 1.0.1.5 -> Xmuxer Pro to Remux the stream. Then try to fix the audio with AC3 Delay Cut -> BeSliced (Fix). Other than that I never use Xmuxer. That's only if I can't get the video on a re-run (like the Super Bowl).

Remux an MPEG2 file to me it works.
Mux has never worked (AVC & AC3) ofcourse, because if is MPEG2 I rather use Womble VCR to mux. To Demux!!, what better than your master piece DG MPG Dec.

Now, I don't have a use for Xmuxer Pro. All my sources are MPEG2 and I rather use millions of apps out there. When DirecTVHD moves to AVC then I'll give it a try to edit out commercials but till then I leave this app as the last resort.

Just out of curiosity, why on earth would you need Xmuxer Pro?

[Konstantin]

Dear Toti,

Please upload on any ftp your test files which you could not multiplex in Elecard XMuxer Pro. Or upload this files on ours ftp (ftp.elecard.com, user name:uploader, password: ybrjveybrf,tkmyjcnm, file size must be more than 25Mb). It will help us to define a problem.

Best Regards
Konstantin.

[Guest]

Just out of curiosity, why on earth would you need Xmuxer Pro? For me personally, I need a muxer for combining AVC and audio (various formats) to create test streams for my company's silicon decoders and to create streams for demos at shows such as CES. But since I was given a very good in-house-created muxer by one of our customers, I don't need to use XMuxer Pro or Manzanita anymore. :) Don't ask for it; I cannot distribute it.

Hi.
Is the HDV MPEG2 streams (.m2t) supported (for trimming)?
Is it possible to preserve TS structure and PIDs?

Hi arkoko, You can execute all these operations using Elecard XMuxer.

Unfortunately it doesn't works. Installed latest beta trial version and after cutting I have distorted transport stream and I can't export this back to HDV camcorder.

[enjoyer]

[Konstantin]

Now this feature is not accessible. But we plan add it in next versions.

hi neuron2, i also to work for similar company which design and research STB with various decoders and we have horrible problems with lack of reliable muxer/demuxer especialy for new codecs. We have adherent, tektronix, manzanita muxers/demuxers and all of these tools have similar problems and many of bugz. Maybe you cann't distrubute but You can say name of company which can distribiute such useful tools?
On market is big hole - lack of good tools, lack of good muxer/demuxer...
Even very high priced tools (Tektronix) are very poor in quality...

[Guest]

It wouldn't help you to know that because they don't sell this tool. They made it for in-house use and kindly supplied it to us on a non-disclosure basis.
