Multiplexer, any good out there? | ||||
| linkeboda posted 2007 Oct 11 12:24 | ||||
| I need a multiplexer that can be activated from a commandline command and do not strt up a GUI when processing my work.
I use mplex today but it does not deliver a correct vob-file. It leaves out two very important headers from the program-stream. I tried Muxman and it does the job perfectly BUT it does not operate from commandline and it does start up the GUI every single time. What I need is a program that kan take a video and an audiosteam and build me a vob with all the correct headers. I need to be able to do this silently and be called by something like c:\>mplex test.m2v test.m2a test.vob any flags and settings included in the call is ok but it need to be silent, commandline and deliver a correct vob. I love mplex but it delivers vobs that will freeze up every two seconds on Panasonic-players. Does anyone have any suggestions? We are willing to pay for a program that does what we need and does it correctly. | ||||

| You can try a different version of Mplex.exe, such as the one in this package:
http://people.freenet.de/CharlesWeb/download/mjpegtools_180_P4_Win32.7z Also needs Cygwin1.dll http://alloy.mit.edu/alloy30/cygwin1.dll -or- Download a copy of FAVC and take a look at the BatchMux command. It isn't the friendliest command line tool out there, but it does work. Needs MuxMan 0.15R Example syntax: "E:\BatchMux Plugin\BatchMux\Release\BatchMux.exe" "-d" E:\tmp\out -muxman C:\DVDApps\muxman -l E:\tmp\BatchMux.log -mxp E:\tmp\BatchMux.mxp -palette "E:\Episode1\demux\vts01_ttn01.txt" -preparer "Sir Didymus" -v "E:\Episode1\demux\VideoFile.m2v" -a1 "E:\Episode1\demux\AudioFile_80.ac3" -a1lang it -s1 "E:\Episode1\demux\Subpictures_21.sup" -s2 "E:\Episode1\demux\Subpictures_22.sup" -s1lang it -s2lang it -s1dmode WIDE -s2dmode LB -cellfr "E:\Episode1\demux\Celltimes.txt" -SEG2v "E:\Episode2\demux\VideoFile.m2v" -SEG2a1 "E:\Episode2\demux\AudioFile_81.ac3" -SEG2a1lang it -SEG2s1 "E:\Episode2\demux\Subpictures_20.sup" -SEG2s2 "E:\Episode2\demux\Subpictures_21.sup" -SEG2s3 "E:\Episode2\demux\Subpictures_22.sup" -SEG2s4 "E:\Episode2\demux\Subpictures_23.sup" -SEG2s1lang en -SEG2s2lang it -SEG2s3lang el -SEG2s4lang it -SEG2cellfr "E:\Episode2\demux\Celltimes.txt" -SEG3v "E:\Episode3\demux\VideoFile.m2v" -SEG3a1 "E:\Episode3\demux\AudioFile_80.ac3" -SEG3a1lang it -SEG3s1 "E:\Episode3\demux\Subpictures_20.sup" -SEG3s2 "E:\Episode3\demux\Subpictures_21.sup" -SEG3s1lang it -SEG3s2lang it -SEG3s1dmode WIDE -SEG3s2dmode LB -SEG3cellfr "E:\Episode3\demux\Celltimes.txt" -norun | ||||

| MuxMan runs in 'command line' mode, but you need to set up a suitable mxp file...
IIRC you can also try imago. | ||||

| borax : Yes, muxman has a commandline activation but it also opens up the GUI which I dont want since it blocks the program working at the moment. I want a multiplexer without GUI or at least the possebility to turn it off. In that regard mplex is superior...
Soopafresh : I'll look into it but I tried the latest release of mjpegtools so my hopes that this works are, well..., rather low ;) When opening mjpegtools code there is even a dummyfunction writing the headers but leaving out the information that is needed and the programmers states in a comment that they don't know this part and are leaving it out on purpose. | ||||

Try "-run" or just "-r". No GUI.

| linkeboda posted 2007 Oct 12 05:13 | ||||
| nope, that mplex-variant also had the defect :( | ||||
| linkeboda posted 2007 Oct 12 05:44 | ||||
| AlanHK : thanks. Now it's silent. 8)
Only thing left now is to identify the video and audiostreams automatically, write the mxp-file and then run muxman silently in the background using the mxp-file. Would have been better if muxman simply could take a video and an audiostream in and do the identifying of them like it can when you insert the files using the GUI but that would just be to good to be true I guess... :roll: | ||||

| Just re-read Soopafresh´s tip on BatchMux. Going to try it now... | ||||
| linkeboda posted 2007 Oct 12 08:44 | ||||
| Yihaaaaaa! Success!!! It works like a charm just like I want it AND the resulting DVD-disc plays perfectly on a Panasonic-player.
mplex : out the window BatchMux and MuxMan installed on system. 8) | ||||

| omg..... i wanted the batchmux because muxman is higher than my resolution =/
but the link i found downloading it is always not working.... http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=116297 edit: ok nevermind it is included in favc... | ||||
| Baldrick posted 2007 Nov 04 06:31 | ||||
| Yep, it's included in favc but I have also added it to the muxman tool page, http://download.videohelp.com/download/BatchMux_v1.0.zip |
