Muxman Standard version notes

Interactive gui use:
You may load a project first and modify it, or start from scratch.
To load a project pull down the "File" menu and click on "Load Project"

Modifying or creating a new project:
Select 1 or more video and/or bmp files.
 Arrange the video files and set durations using the multi-file manager.
Select files for 0 to 4 audio tracks (ac3, dts, mpa, or lpcm).
 Arrange the audio files using the multi-file manager.
 Set the language, extension, and delay for each audio track.
Select a sup or sst file for 0 to 8 subpicture streams (other file formats will come later).
 Set the language and extension for each sub stream.
 If video is 16:9 assign each sub stream to a display mode, the actual track will display to the left
 of the buttons. A seperate display below shows the streams used for each track.
Choose the output folder unless you want the default of D:\VIDEO_TS
If you want chapters use the file pulldown menu to open a chapter list file.
 This file is a simple list of starting frame numbers.
click on "start"
wait a little, watch the progress bar.

Command line / batch use:
The command line arguments are:
project_filename [-d destination_folder] [-l log_filename] [-run]

project_filename - the name of the project file to load

destination_folder - the folder where the DVD files will be written

log_filename - name of the log file for diagnostic messages

-run This will cause Muxman to run in batch mode.

notes:
  Muxman can be associated with the file extension ".mxp" to cause it to run in gui mode and load
	the project file that was double-clicked
  Programs written for the graphical user interface run as a seperate task when started from a
	DOS/Command Prompt. Because of this two things happen:
  1)It is not possible for Muxman to write to STDOUT, you must view the log file. One way is to copy
	it to STDOUT with the TYPE command.
  2)The command prompt or batch file will not wait for Muxman to complete unless started with START
	start /w muxman project_filename [-d destination_folder] [-l log_filename] -run

Special note for users of SubRip 1.17.1
SubRip 1.17.1 has several errors in the sst file, wrong color mapping, syntax error in conversion
rules, and most noticable the times are neither relative to video start timecode (ie if movie
starts at 1:00:00:00, as many do, you must add 1 hour to all the times) or accurate. To correct for
this, add the following line in your sst file as the second line:
Generator	SubRip1.17.1 25257

the last part, "25257" is a typical value for video delay (which SubRip does not account for), to
get the value use VobEdit, look at the first pack (NAV) and find "vobu_s_ptm" - this is the number
to use for your rip.

notes:
All video files must match in resolution, aspect ratio, coding type (mpeg-1 or mpeg-2).
 The first file accepted sets the values.
 Image files (bmp) must be 720x480 or 720x576 and get encoded as mpeg-2.
 Selecting to browse the video file will open the multi-file manager window.
All audio files in one track must match in coding method and channels.
 Selecting to browse an audio file track will open the multi-file manager window.
Selecting a sub file again will replace that file with the new selection.

The program leaves a log at c:\muxman.log

Rejection codes:
OERR	Muxman was unable to open the file.
BERR	Muxman was unable to allocate resources to the file (low memory).
