BBMpeg: BUG found during muxing with Pure Interlace
 

Hi guys :)

I've ben using my app, slim-g for a while now. Quick and simple MUXing of
my quicky (encodes and burn to CDR) for fast testings and things.

I think I've found what I believe to be a bug or something that was over
looked during the MUXing of bbMPEG's routine run.

Ok, in the field:

* Pulldown: [Auto] or [2:3] or [3:2]

..there is no option for Pure Interlace. The option for [Auto] is only for the
2:3 or 3:2 switch.

My Issues...
During playing in PDVD or during my AD-1500's playing, I could see that
there are 3:2 or 2:3 strobing when people panning across the CAM during
shooting. You could see this quite easily. At first, I thought it was my app
that just needed an adjustment to the .ini file, but then after careful use
through direct contact w/ bbMPEG itself, I've found that it's bbMPEG instead.
Since there is no provision for Pure Interlace, there will always be MUXing
w/ either 2:3 or 3:2 flags set in your final MPEG-2 Muxes.

So, please be aware of this, when you are debugging your final encodes,
and can't figure out what going on :roll:

But, if anyone has another alternate suggestion to MUXing those Pure Interlace
encodes, please do advise :)

Thanks for taking the time to hear me out,

Hi vhelp,

Use MPlex, instead of BBMpeg, which provides:
NONE, 2:3, 3:2, AUTO and DO 2:3 ;)

Thanks Kwag.. :)

Ok, couple of questions...

* Does it have command-line (so I can revise slim-g w/ this as an option) ??
...and listing of all switches ??

* what settings should I use to set for SVCD
* ..and xSVCD/xsKVCD

* DVD (best settings)

Sorry for all the questions, but I figure, get them out now, and be done w/
them all :)
Plus, you know how I like to stream-line all those repetitive clicks n drags
and things :roll:

I'll do some quick experiments for now.

Thanks for any other info you can give me,

Not sure about command line. I believe it does ( I recall, browsing the sources once ).
Search google for mplex, and see if you can find the sources.
The program was derived from BBMpeg.

Ok, thanks.

I was able to do a first test run w/ muxing (using none) and went well.
Much better then using TMPG. For some reason, I'm plauged by TMPG
freezing up on me whenever I go to click on the BROWSE buttons in anything.
I usually have to cut/paste filenames and directories in oder to bypass these
dialog options :(

MPLEX seem to do it a little bit better then TMPG's way of navigating, but
I'd like to stream-line the process w/ mplex.

Thanks for all your help in this matter :)

I found this: http://themurrays.homeip.net/downloa...o/for_windows/
There's a .txt file which I believe describes the options.
