First of all, as an editor I archive my videos as unsegmented VOB files. This way audio and video in multiple languages stay together, the files are easily transferred to dvd for handing out and the image looks great (encoded with CCE basic). That's how I work.
The Imago muxer works ok for years now. File sizes are a little bigger in comparison to other muxers, but the NAV packets are more trustworthy. When using mplex as a replacement (found in the dvdauthor package) I get timecode discrepancies in VirtualDub-MPEG. I also get sync problems while viewing longer runs (video jumps a couple of frames to stay on track).
On the other hand, with Imago I get multiple warnings in DVDAuthorGUI that the audio moves backwards. mplex streams apparently result in no errors (seems logical because it's part of dvdauthor).
So which to trust? I understand that it is hard to follow the exact MPEG format, even professional software lacks correctness now and then. But I can't live without Imago, because a smooth image (that is, no s-s-stuttering) goes above all. Anyone who knows a better muxer, please let us know (TMPGEnc no way). |
