[Mjpeg-users] How to use the "-S" option of mplex?

2003-01-04 Thread Gregoire Favre
Hello,

I use this:

mplex -f 8 -S 400 -o name%d.mpg "001.mp*"

to mux files together, but I alwasy get 2 Gb files :-(

Any idea on how to use this option?

Thank you very much and please CC to me as I am not on this ml!!!

Well, do you really think I haddn't?
I am too stupid to understand how to use the -S option:

   -S|--max-segment-size num
  This option specifies the maximum size of output files in MBytes
  (2^10).  The default is 2000 Mbytes (splitting output before  2G
  limits  can  hit).   When  the  limit  is reached a  new file is
  started.

So what's wrong with my -S 400?

I am a little bit disapointed by this answer :-(

Please CC to me as I am not in this ml, thank you very much,

Well, no, mplex gives me:

mjpegtools mplex version 1.6.1
Usage: mplex [params] -o  ...

Prior to that, I was using version 1.6.0 with same result.

I use mjpeg 1.6.1, the command I alreday gives several times, the filesizes
are a lots different from time to time, here:

Because, I use this to create a DVD:
ifogen -o /video2/tmp/VIDEO_TS/VTS "mpeg_files"
tocgen /video2/tmp/VIDEO_TS

And if the mpeg files are smaller I got more chapters ;-)
If you know other way to make DVD under linux, I would enjoy to know
about that way, and I like to have some chapters in my DVD (made with
recordings from VDR).

Thank you very much for all help, and please keep CC to me as I am not
on this ml ;-)

Have a great day,

Well, the DVD I made with small .vdr files that I demuxed with ds.jar
(java) and muxed with mplex -f 8 and then ifogen, tocgen are just
perfect, at least on my PC (mplayer, VDR), one iMac (OSX) and one my

Or maybe my files are really OK so?
I should maybe then make files of no limit size?
Because I got lots of files to MUX bigger than 2 Gb...
And learn how to make editlistfiles...

[Mjpeg-users] How to make mpeg files for DVD creation?

2003-01-07 Thread Gregoire Favre
Hello,

i reccord data with VDR:
http://www.cadsoft.de/people/kls/vdr/download.htm 

And then, I demux the recording with ds.jar:
http://home.arcor.de/matt2/dvb.matt/

It gives me one video file and one file per audio tracks (most of the
time just one).

After that, using mplex, I mux the files together, if I split it using
the -S option, dvdauthor: http://dvdauthor.sourceforge.net/ finds errors
in the second file (and without the -S as there is a 2Gb limit, I also
get errors...on following files) (I use -f 8, -f 9 only gives errors...).

Is there a way to have "real" split?

Thank you very much and have a great day,

And no, it's not real MPEG2, I don't know exactly what it is...

No: it depends on the resolution, but I don't care: my Imac, my PC and

Well ???

I found the solution: mplex, and then cat all muxed files together (OK,
I would prefer without the 2Gb limit, but it's a solutions) ;-)

Well, why should I do so?
Now the only remaining problem is to make real chapter... I could
already split my VDR (Video Disk Recorder) files and demux, then remux
each other, but I would like something automatic ;-)

Then I should be happy that's everything works just that way ;-)

Well, then it's the same as mplex... no use for me :-(

Yes, you could say, I used it, but it's really long, and all I want it
to store my recordings on DVD in an easy way... and fast enough...

So I really shall learn how to make chapter out of a mpeg files on a
DVD... dvdauthor gets better and better at each new version, so I'll
certainly be happier and happier ;-)

As there is no -B option in the released mplex, I assume you are talking
about the CVS... I can't compil it on my computer, but on another, mplex
still has no -B option???

I don't use any encoding tools: I record directly in mpeg2 format and I
demux with ds.jar, and use mplex to mux the files together ;-)

Wouldn't it be easyer to add an option to mplex like this:

mplex -f 8 -B -S 400 -o file%02d.mpg /video2/*.*

Or is there a way to split correctly after?

Thank you very much,

[Mjpeg-users] How to "split"?

2003-04-06 Thread Gregoire Favre
Hello,

I have recorded some "movies" which are a following suites, each movies
are about each 2.4Gb (I have those as mpg files from mplex -f) and I
want to backup those on DVD.

The total files sizes is 12868 Mb so what I would really like is to
obtain a split in three part to make 3 DVD out of it, but how?
And if possible, I would love to be able to repeat the last 10 seconds
of end of part one at beginning of part two, and same for 2 - 3...

Thank you very much,
