KVCD: Mplex just does not want to finish!
 

Mplex will analyze vid then audio & just stop.
I waited an hour thinking it migh be doing somethin but nothin.
I set it up like it said in black prince's guide.
It stops here:

You can still multiplex with tmgpenc if you need. I never used other thing to mux.

(file -> mpeg tools -> simple multiplex).

If I remember correctly,Mplex as well as BBMpeg, both have a log tab.
After you start muxing comute to the log tab and you'll see when it's over.
Or mux with tmpgenc as Phil says.
Cheers

when I mux with tmpg & press fast forward on my dvd player the sound go off the video (talking when there is no lips moving & shit)
BBMpeg's alil buggy but after getting a smack in the head it work flawlessly
peace

I never heard about such problem. You are really unlucky in some way :)

BBMpeg is not buggy at all.
It needs a special patched dll file to work ok under Win XP.
But that's why I've always used MPLEXGUI v1.0.
And it comes with a nice Progress tab where you can see if muxing is over or not.
If BBMpeg is not working ok for you, give MPLEXGUI a try because it has exactly the same screens that you find in BBMpeg.
Just remember: once you have encoded your audio to MP2, you'll have a "myaudio.mp2" file.
In order to use such file with MPLEXGUI you need to rename it to "myaudio.mpa" and you're ready to go ;-).
Cheers
