When I use bbmpg or even tmpgenc to us the svcd header trick it gives me a file size of 217mb. The .m1v file is 700mb and the .mp2 is 80mb. I also looked at the .m1v file and it showed it being full length 1:30:27. But when I looked at the mux video it shows it being 40 minutes long.


any solutions.

And you don't have ANY error on the screen of bbmpeg ?

No errors. But the weird part is when it first scans the video for pictures it act like the video is full size (around 780mb), it goes slow up to 40% or around there, then after that it goes extremely fast to 100%. Then when it mux the videos it shows the video being less then half size 217mb and finishes with that size.

I think this is the same problem that I'm having, but only with AVI's that I've captured.

I have had a similar problem, sometimes bbMpeg would stop halfway through the mux without reporting any errors. After much trial and error I decided to delete the bbMpeg folder and unzip the original archive and try again and to my surprise it worked. My guess is that the .dll is getting corrupted somehow.

I must say I have problems with bbmpeg since a few days : it always failed on the last % of work telling "can't find user data at I-frame xxx". It's boring . I wonder how trhe program can be corrupted.

Hi dialhot,

Try MPlex: http://www.kvcd.net/mplex.exe

Cool, nice prog Kwag. While I think BBMpeg does a nice job the fact that it is no longer being developed worried me about a good alternative down the road. You are always one step ahead Kwag. Thanks.

Whow, it's amazing. When did you do that ?
Can it be used by tools like Tok or DVD2SVCD that call bbmpeg automaticaly in batch mode, or not ?

I didn't do that
It's all over the net I'm not sure if it can be used for batching, but I use it instead of BBMpeg

Edit: Mplex is part of the MJPEG Tools. Their site is http://mjpeg.sourceforge.net/

Ok, so I can complain

It doesn't work : same error, same place.
I'll continue to use TMPGEnc muxing facility...

Phil,

Did you find a solution for this? I have same problem with one film.

I use TMPGEnc for all my muxing since a long time now. What I can say is that I've just tested it, and it works, but I have reinstalled my PC from a ghost image in the meantime. So I can't say I found a solution.
