Muxman Pro Hide changelog 12/01/04version 1.4.2 released Fixed:unable to handle images with aspect ratios exceeding 3:1 Some images were blended upside down due to an optimization error Muxman Pro 11/06/03 version 1.4.1 released Fixed:rejecting riff wave files with junk chunk before fmt chunk. various GUI issues. Improved:new method of key extraction for filters uses less CPU. More efficient management of GUI controls. Muxman Pro 10/11/15 version 1.4 released Fixed:Standard filters not processing alpha channel correctly Erratic behaviour when changing motion object shapes, incorrect morphing. DrawLines could hang under certain conditions. Improper centering of squares and rectangles with curved edges. Crash when line thickness is too large. Inconsistant line thickness in splines and polys depending on canvas size and aspect Transition Assistant creating incorrect timing of reverse transitions with new incoming image Crashing while copying composite to tote caused by Transition Assistant omiting owner field Drawing curved lines not stopping at correct point. Dialog boxes were not destroying bitmap resource instances Fine lines appear ragged due to fill not reaching edges. Improved:Now able to use the full spec video buffer, resulting in higher quality encodes of still images and fewer buffer underflows of externally encoded video. New algorithm for computing mux delay permits higher average bitrate muxes, still images can now be muxed with high bitrate audio. Added:Now able to export image elements from any source Alpha channel processor (keyer) version 1 88 additional wipe patterns (diagonal, iris, and clock) for a total of 132 forward transitions. Curvature of lines may now be relative to line length in addition to absolute. 10/06/07 bugfix version 0.16.8 released Fixed:mpeg-2 encoder maximum encoded size too high resulting in buffer underrun. Muxman Pro 10/06/21 version 1.3.1 fixed:SubPicture Import relational operator dropdowns not opening, introduced by 1.2.2 fine alignment Crop and zoom not working correctly. First avi file to be opened could fail. Render a still to avi had invalid framerate. Crash if dst_bend or crop set to extreme value such as 8192. Crash if size_to_matte or size_to_crop from 0 size. Right click menu items acting on wrong element. Interaction between start, duration, and end times in render_to_avi dialog. Buffer underrun from internal encoder reported by putto72 LinkPGCN was using absolute PGCn within domain when it should be relative to and restricted to the title / LU LPCM noise following a file ending with a short block. Arc, Pie, and Chord radials going wild due to truncation. changed:Compositor can accept mpeg files of any resolution and framerate (DVD compliant restriction removed) Crop values greater than 8192 will flip horizontally, less than -8192 will flip vertically added:CLI JACKET_P encoding PES files can now be used as source (JACKET_P files are PES files) Compositing: IDs, Z-axis changes, transitions Top View button to view composite as it will be rendered (automatically set by transition assistant) 10/04/03 version 0.16.7 released Fixed:crash when encoding 2 bmp consecutively if second shorter than first Added:JACKET_P creation Help menu item Muxman Pro 10/03/24 version 1.3 fixed:not releasing VFW and cache assets when deleting an element. unable to move images out of frame. multiple crashes for transitions less than 1 second. crashes caused by overflow calculating transition size ratios of rectangles and gradients. restoration of screen image and frame number after exporting to bmp or avi. garbage to left and above rotated images that are cropped or zoomed. incorrect symmetry when rotating squeezed images. alternate fill button and line thickness spinner not enabling/disabling properly. non-opaque source pixels given too much weight in resizing. entering data into opacity, hue, saturation, brightness, or contrast could cause controls to not erase when switching tabs. crash caused by attempting to paste base layer. It is no longer possible to copy it to tote. changed:undoing premultiplied RGB now performed before intensity linearization. "Save as" (m2v, bmp, avi) now labeled "Render to". added:generated shapes are now anti-aliased, gamma corrected, and blended with HiRes giving them smoother edges and the ability to be rotated and alpha blended. render to bmp files with alpha (ARGB32). export elements to bmp with or without alpha (RGB24, ARGB32). Renderers used during editing for images, objects, and the active element can now be changed from pulldown menu. The "straight" lines of all shapes can now be curved. This gives a second method of drawing an arc, and allows for new shapes such as crescents and fluted circles. Pen-Lift allows drawing polygons with skipped vertices such that the drawing becomes several overlapped polygons of fewer sides (example 6 sides skipping 1 produces 2 triangles) to be drawn as one figure, thus changing the fill pattern to recognize the central region(s). The new drawing engine can use multiple brushes for filling interior regions of polygons. Muxman Pro 09/12/15 version 1.2.4 fixed:crash when flipping vertically or horizontally in transition HiRes crash (segment overrun) erratic behaviour in compositor (changes applied to wrong object) time computations affecting avi run_length, number of frames to render, transition durations cut/copy/paste from sub-menu (right click) not working unable to set YUV or HSB color space for gradient unable to set element duration to composite duration, was 1 frame short crash trying to use avi without correct codec installed crash trying to open riff/avi file with no video stream or bad format. Added: HiRes:rotation, with transition capability (spins) ability to process bottom-up images (eg avi) ability to handle 32 bit source file (and the alpha data from bmp and tga files) ability to process transfer functions sRGB, SMPTE 170M, SMPTE 240M, and gamma opacity (alpha) with transition capability (fades) basic color processor for adjusting hue, saturation, brightness, and contrast. Muxman Pro 09/10/06 version 1.2.3 added:HiRes resizing. This is the first step only, not fully implimented. fixed:movement of still images accidentally disabled except for image being edited not able to set source and dest rectangles at end of image transitions image transitions longer than about 18 seconds not working correctly. unable to set timing on images files added to composite. Muxman Pro 09/05/14 version 1.2.2 fixed: compositor:unable to grab images larger than screen and flipped compositor resolution not matching stream established, always using preferred hli editor:SubPicture display area not matching established resolution, always using prefered "subs present and in track mode" warning not on unless hli exist selected button not different appearance not able to set links to self update diamond when link added exit saving settings is not saving hli exit saving settings is corrupting sub values? show opacity value of colors (like gradient) hli endtime incorrect setting FA or FS on swapped buttons sets wrong button incorrect display modes enabled for 16:9 composite incorrect end frame number shown for non-stop subs unable to view subs between I frames incorrect sub shown if non-stop followed by stop in the empty time period. could step beyond end of segment effects cannot be set in non-stop subs deleting hli does not remove all references (PGC menu commands) sub adjust:crash when releasing mouse button out-of-bounds. PAL subpictures misaligned PAL display area truncated (SubPicture display area not matching established resolution, always using prefered) fine alignment adjustment is difficult general:no ability to create FP (changed to FP always exists, no commands added unless default nav is created) when adding sub stream 2 or higher stream pointer changes to stream 1 by mfm added:converted hli editor seek time entry to new control Muxman Pro 09/04/01 version 1.2.1 fixed:simple ratios of object shapes results in too few changes and jerky look Pie, Chord, and Arc radials not moving correctly in transitions Create Transition for Text was setting wrong values Helper thread (Survey) getting lost at times and not terminating Crash when displaying auto-resized images AC3 files encoded for Dolby Surround setting start time to 00:01:08:08 (NTSC) This problem first appeared in version 1.1.4 Wrong color index for many windows changed:minimum transition duration to 1 frame instead of 100ms Added:delete transition button right click on TimeCode control displays all values and allows changing view Muxman Pro 09/03/22 version 1.2.0 Added:Restructured database allowing video and subpictures to be composites. Reworked user interface adding more graphical control. Replaced pixel based coordinate system with the virtual system already in use by objects AVI as composite source and output, menus with motion video are now possible. Ability to animate objects varying any and all parameters through time. New TimeCode control and second pane of controls for temporal input. HSB color space now available in gradients (more to come) High precision color mixing in gradients (also to be extended to images later) Fixed:creating a composite when there are more than 100 highlights causes strange things unable to pan or tilt zoomed images over full range misaligned subpictures in button simulation auto-repeat buttons not working in XP objects could be moved or resized incorrectly if mouse button pressed outside view window then released inside window mouse was not captured on dragging causing incorrect state if dragged outside view window then released. Main window not disabled while compositor running, causing crash if FILE->NEW clicked. tote-bag paste crash Muxman Pro 08/12/17 version 1.1.5 released Fixed:crash when setting button command (highlight editor) crash when exiting command editor (highlight editor) (both crashes caused by database reallocating during editing) spreadsheet unable to handle more than 90 PGC references to one segment spreadsheet generated program and cell names not based on PGC name compositor overwriting run time of non-composited video compositor gradient colorspace not preserved in mxp striping in gradients caused by floating point math problem decoding certain bmp files with unusual image offset value Muxman Pro 08/08/01 version 1.1.4 released Adds:Ability to rotate cartesian space Check on subpicture timing performed after adding/replacing subpicture files. Timing is adjusted to prevent overlap. Save composition as bmp Cut/Copy/Paste multiple elements in compositor Cut/Copy/Paste multiple video, audio, and subpicture play (file or composition) in timeline Improved:rendering speedup (remembering last rendered image, gradient optimizations) check for changes before asking to save composition color coded subpicture insert pointer in timeline display current time caret in timeline display timeline time scale spacing now based on frames rather than arbitrary spacing Fixed:problem with alphablending that caused large gradients to be mispositioned calculation of segment duration in timeline display when video duration is "audio end" better accounting for vertical scrollbar presence in timeline display export to m2v not exporting correct image if any element was from video crash if goto target was more than 15 characters audio delay same for all streams false error when multiplexing after editing highlight crash when dropping files onto audio or sub track Muxman Pro 08/06/26 version 1.1.3 released Adds:4 color gradients lines Fixed:run time of video assets being changed to incorrect values sub-menu to add shapes and text was accidentally disabled in production build Muxman Pro 08/06/12 version 1.1.2 released Adds:Ability to remove padding in DTS streams SubMenu to select compositor element (note: elements were formerly called layers) Compositor now has text and geometric shapes as elements Replaced arrows from wingding font with bitmaps, wingding font no longer needed Fixed:UOP dialog in timeline is now popup vice child of listbox to ensure complete visibility. main window, Compositor/Viewer, and Color Picker position corrected to be 100% onscreen. when exiting the normal screen position is saved, not the current position. This means that the window can be moved, and if MuxMan is exited from the maximized state the position saved for the next time will not change to the upper left corner. Spreadsheet scene buttons now update after adding or removing a PGC reference. Changed viewer/editor NTSC 16:9 display size to 853x480, was 864x480. "Exit Saving Settings" hang from non-compositor function. Also disabled ability to enter compositor from other functions as this will not work. calculation of object height in compositor not rounding properly certain properties of streams were being lost due to db not in sync with locals sub import editor would crash if entered with no subs Muxman free 08/04/16 demo (free) version 0.16.6 released Fixed:tt_srpt title type bits for Jump/Link/Call commands (psr 10101004) subs in wrong VOBU if display time > previous still (psr 10101005) sp_synca can contain incorrect values (psr 10101006) CLI mode (.mxp files without scenes)(psr 10101008) Muxman pro 08/04/07 version 1.1.1 released Adds:10 additional wipe patterns for SubPicture effects Subs display "F" for forced and "E" for effects in timeline Swap/Clear/Remove/Renumber audio/sub streams Video, Audio, and Subs can replace single file with multiple files Drag/Drop to subs Fixed:cancel wipe pattern selection no longer clears pattern (psr 10101001) small bugs in timeline display (cursor time, "no file" in sub stream)(psr 10101002) calculation of default video duration for gui (no audio)(psr 10101003) tt_srpt title type bits for Jump/Link/Call commands (psr 10101004) difficult to select subpictures with no stop (0 duration) in timeline display subs in wrong VOBU if display time > previous still (psr 10101005) sp_synca can contain incorrect values (psr 10101006) Errors importing and exporting audio files (psr 10101007) CLI mode (.mxp files without scenes)(psr 10101008) Muxman pro 08/03/03 version 1.1.0 released Adds:Timeline graphical interface. Explode function - expands a slideshow video into individual frames so that each frame has its own duration. Fixed:Audio multi-file manager was clearing audio delay on startup. Muxman pro 08/02/08 version 1.0.4 released Improved: both highlight/buttons/effects editor and subpicture import adjust editor changed to navigate by segment time, not asset time.

Fixed:Ability to specify run length of slideshow video Several problems positioning slideshow video to correct source frame Muxman pro 08/01/20 version 1.0.3 released Fixed: crash or hang in subpicture adjust if no video problems with jump/link targets in button command editor symbol table not always updated before editing commands Muxman pro 07/12/03 version 1.0.2 released code cleanup (remove DBlist and DBallocs) Adds: delete palette (delete and rename disabled for "DefaultPalette" or any in-use palette) context menu for highlight only (no button) in highlight editor plus: ability to delete FA and FS ability to set the number of numerically selectable buttons ability to set forced display in subpicture import adjust ability to replace a subpicture with a new image but retain all other values. SubPicture Fade effect from Scenarist script Main window can now be maximized/resized and 2 tabs (spreadsheet and palettes) will resize Improved:SubPicture multi-file manager now shows where a subpicture will be in the timeline after making a change to the display time with a colored line. Green indicates no problem with the time, yellow indicates overlap with an existing subpicture, and red indicates the move cannot be made due to highlight information needing to be swapped. note: the multi-file manager cannot swap highlights, that is a very complicated change to the data requiring seeking out all commands (menu items) of both highlights from all PGCs. Fixed:unable to edit subpictures or highlights with a composite or simple image for video. selecting a button cleared auto-action flag for button unable to select button unless highlight layer displayed moved controls in import adjust panel due to large fonts clicking on a button with no move was setting highlight as modified button icon and compass not showing links on unmodified highlight VM command editor was losing handle to link controls in type 3 editing emulation not working correctly for subs other than full size disallow immediate compare for JumpTT and JumpVts_TT in VM command editor conversion from contrast percentage to contrast number needed rounding up Muxman pro 07/10/30bugfix version 1.0.1 released Adds: delete subpicture effect delete subpicture highlight highlight and import adjust color buttons now have upper right corner at 100% opaque, same as effects Fixed:subs imported from segment tab or multifile manager not inheriting tv system from video area too small for longest button command in button/highlight edit do not ask "save highlights" if no changes to highlights "select" and "action" buttons not correct color if color other than RGB colorspace only one button command saved on exit from highlight editor deleting button not always deleting correct PGC menu command Muxman pro 07/10/22 Version 1.0.0 released Adds:Visual editor for setting subpicture conversion rules, color palettes, cropping, and positioning. Image files may now be imported via GUI (requires setting conversion rules with above editor). Karaoke AC3 files now recognized. Karaoke titles can be created, includes Karaoke multi-channel extension mapping. Settings tab allows setting: Project name Provider ID Region mask Volume Number of sides Side number Drag and drop files onto file manager listboxes Visual editing of palettes in RGB or YUV colorspace NTSC safe color display shows you what needs to be changed. Subpicture effects (fade, cut, and wipe) Muxman advanced 07/07/17 bugfix version 0.18.10 released Fixed:internal demux of LPCM error could create highlight without subpicture multiple VobID, CellID, and name/rename entry text boxes were not acting properly unable to demux dts streams Muxman advanced 07/06/12 bugfix version 0.18.9 released increased size of control panels in viewer rearranged controls in highlight editor to display properly in large font systems Fixed:highlight editor not setting button links highlight editor not showing correct button number after create button highlight editor crash displaying sp/sup/vob sourced subpicture enabling duration and start time fields in subpicture file manager by file type highlight editor not setting correct highlight duration if sub not displayed duration of sp subs is now taken from sp file (cannot be altered). Muxman free 07/05/05 bugfix version 0.15R released Fixed:.scp PAL Video timing (not retrieving tv standard from data folder) .scp PAL SubPicture timing (not processing resolution and drop type statements) .scp SubPicture duration was 1 frame too long .sst parser not clearing generator (and other) flags on entry.

An excellent muxing tool. I am SORRY to mention that the price U$35.00 is little bit high as compared to Power Producer and Video Studio are at U$45.00 in local retail deals. I rated this tool 10 out of 10 because of excellent features.

Really an excelent multiplexer. Never had issues with it. Works perfectly. It is one of very few tools that you really need if you work with DVDs Thank you for the tool.

Maybe pop in a chapter editor to both manually and automatically generate chapter marks, and I'll renew my registration. As it stands, I'll be sitting on version 1.3.1. And while you're at it, mpucoder, how about a general user's guide?

I received the following message when I attempted to download 1.4.0: Upgrades are possible The version you are requesting is beyond the limit of free upgrades. Apparently there's an additional charge now for existing subscribers of the professional version to upgrade to the latest one.

|||||||||||||||
What an annoying update process. I accidentally entered a wrong username and now it demands payment to upgrade?? WTF?? Actually I hope it's not demanding money full stop?? I thought as a paid-up registered user I got free upgrades for life...? It's very good software and I use it all the time for muxing m2v and ac3 (and subs, chapter lists etc). But it's got tons of other functionality that I can make no sense of. Mpucoder needs to wrap an intuitive gui around this thing so it becomes a DVD authoring app for the general masses. I'm sure he'd make a lot of money.

It is not my intention to slam a product for the sake of it. This is however my experience. I tried to mux two files togther but the video file was not visable, so I couldn't get it to work. Then I went on the web site and paid 35.00 for the pro version hoping this other version of the program would work. I have recieved no email and no program, and of course I am out 35 bucks.

This is a wonderful utility with an annoying bug (which does have work-arounds) which I'll report here for future reference. Hopefully mpucoder will spot and correct this in a future version. In certain conditions there seems to be a problem with MuxMan's *vertical* (not horizontal) boundary checking which gets it into buffer under/overflow situations. These conditions seem to be related to ab/presence of titleset menus and chapter buttons; there may well be others too. These conditions seem to determine which part of the MuxMan code checks and parses the subtitles, and not all parts seem to work equally well. Input files used below have the following characteristics (initially, the source DV AVI container was encoded into an MPEG container with both audio and video to maintain sync, which were then demuxed into the below video file and audio file with AVIdemux): Video file parameters: File size: 63,404,529 bytes Duration 00:01:08.55 Aspect ratio 4:3 MPEG2 720x576 25.000 fps 9800.0 kbps (1225.0 kbyte/s) Audio file parameters: File size: 1,107,456 bytes Duration: 00:01:09.21 Format: AC3 stereo 48.000 kHz Data rate: 128 kbits/sec Subtitle file parameters: .SST file and BMPs as rendered by MaestroSBT, 3 colours used, BMPs are correctly rendered 720 x 573 pixels x 4 bits/pixel files .SUP file containing same subtitles as SST, rendered by Srt2Sup/Txt2Sup makes no difference Multiplexing 1 movie file, 1 audio file and 1 subtitle file in either SUP or SST format with no titleset menu works correctly. Adding an empty titleset menu to this project still works, still with either subtitle format. Adding chapter buttons to the titleset menu (still using exactly the same SST subtitles as before) causes MuxMan to fail with the message: SPU error, C:\Documents and Settings\fvisagie\My Documents\My Videos\Home Videos\20061218 Namibia\Subtitles\TestMovie.avi.dv_datecodeBottomMixed_0001.bmp, encoded line exceeds 1440 bits. SPU error, C:\Documents and Settings\fvisagie\My Documents\My Videos\Home Videos\20061218 Namibia\Subtitles\TestMovie.avi.dv_datecodeBottomMixed_0001.bmp, encoded line exceeds 1440 bits. Normally, this message would be issued for horizontal buffer overflow (too wide or too much colour depth in subtitle file) in other conditions. However, the BMPs are known to be correctly rendered as proven by successful multiplexing in the absence of chapter buttons and/or titleset menu. The BMP mentioned in the error message is the first of the subtitle bitmaps listed in the .SST file. With chapter buttons in the titleset menu but using SUP subtitles instead, multiplexing succeeds. Next, rendering the SST subtitles _incorrectly_ as 720 x 574 pixels x 4 bits/pixel BMPs, results in the .SST file specifying (for the physical BMPs): Display_Area (0 2 719 575) muxman.mxp still contains (as per the subtitle specification): Display Area=0,2,719,574 Which differs from the physical BMP size of 720 x 574. Using the same project with titleset menu and chapter buttons which failed with SST subtitles before, MuxMan now notices the above discrepancy and behaves a little more carefully - from muxman.log: Pixel_Area values 0 573 are incorrect, using default of 0 572. Display_Area Y values 2 575 are incorrect, using default of 2 574. This results in MuxMan itself "clipping" the BMPs back to 720 x 573 during multiplexing, and all is well! So the work-arounds for projects with titleset menus containing chapter buttons are: * Use SUP subtitles if those work for you; otherwise * If you require SST subtitles, create (and specify in the .SST file) BMPs that are 1 pixel too tall and let MuxMan sort it out from there.

An excellent tool that does the job well. One minor request though: could "Hearing Impaired" be added to the drop down subtitle menu, which is probably useful to some and would help distinguish it from English. I imagine this would be a very simple change in the coding.

For my purposes, it works very well as a multiplexer, except for one small thing. It does not accept 704x480 bitmaps, although NTSC allows that resolution. However, it still takes m2v video files at the same resolution.

I have used this program for quite a while and it is my mux program of choice. I have only used the free program and that has always been sufficient for me. The only comment I have of note is that the older versions seemed to work better than the newer.One old version would even take an svcd at 400x400 and convert it to a DVD playable in all my stand alones without even checking to see if it was the right kind of file for a dvd. Now that was a good version.

Is very picky about its input files and gives zero indication as to what is wrong when it rejects them, but seems to always work when it gets files it accepts.

This is the best muxer I have seen, the only problem with the free version is you can't sellect the color of the subtitles so you have to use another tool like DvdReMake Pro or DVDSubEdit to change the color on the subtitles after you mux your files into VOB files.

I have also been a long time fan of this utility, but was greatly disappointed by the odd "subscription" payment method for the program. When I purchase a program, I want to be able to use whenever I please. Seems like a strange form of reimbursement and can potentially scare off a number of customers. I plan to make do with the free version until the subscription is removed and replaced with a single-fee purchase price.

Really simple to use, and it's the only free multiplexing tool I know of that takes multiple video and audio files. I just wish the new 0.15 version was free -_-

In my opinion, this tool does exactly what it claims, and it does it well. I have used it 3 or 4 times now when dvdauthorGUI failed. It does not have many features for authoring, but it does multiplex well. I use it to mux 1 video stream with 1 audio stream and add chapters. I use this as source for DvdRemake Pro and it works fine.

Muxman is great, It solved my problem first try. I also like the fact that it presents you with the opportunity to use multiple audio and subtitle streams.

The app has gotten quite a bit better. I used to mux an .M2V and .Mp2 into DVD compliant VOBs, IFOs, BUPs . Not bad at all, and pretty fast, actually. Quite a bit faster than Rejig for muxing.

The tool description said that it should be flawless but it promised more than it could deliver. I tried both the 0.2 & 0.3 version. None of my .sup streams prepared by srt2sup were displayed at all. My .mp2 stream got clipping which did not appear when fed to more trust worthy tools like IFOEDIT or DVDAuthor.
