We found a way to solve this problem without having to use "video%d.mpeg" as filename. Now we simply call mplex using the following syntax:mplex ... -f 8 -S 0 -M -o video.mpegWhich essentially tells mplex to NOT split the files even if a sequence bit is found in the original stream! You would've thought that -S 0 should do this by default but... it needed help from -M!The error is then changed to "[mplex] Sequence end marker found in video stream but single-segment splitting specified!" when the split sequence bit is found.As usual, this has been commited to our CVS server on SourceForge: http://sf.net/projects/v2v Friday June 23, 2006 03:03AM http://v2v.sourceforge.nethttp://v2v.sourceforge.net/index.php?story_id=34 http://v2v.sourceforge.nethttp://v2v.sourceforge.net/index.php?story_id=33 New release with lots of nice additions and code cleanups. As usual, please report bugs, so we can keep killing those pesty friends. Click here to get it 2.4.0 (tar.gz) There are a lot of exciting things in this new release: Ripping and converting DVDs to DVD5 format in one shot: v2v --dvd9-to-dvd5 see changelog for a lot of bug fixes and cli parameter consolidation Lots of bugs squashed ... (check ChangeLog file for more) We are looking for more developers to join us in improving the code. Essentially, we would like to internationalized the code and make it completely platform independent -- so that one can easily use it on Windows, MacOS X or any where else -- This is Perl code after all, and transcode can easily be substituted if necessary. Please check the TODO file if you want to help us.

Click here to get it 2.3.0 (tar.gz) There are a lot of exciting things in this new release: Can now encode Logo + 2 audio channels in cluster mode Contains a compress package dvdtitle.tgz with dvdtitle and pgmfindclip C sources Yet options supported from the command line, and the removal of some deprecated variables from ~/.V2divxrc Lots of bugs squashed ...

Excellent read even if you want to do more than just transcoding -- seti@home anybody? Also, it talks about using Condor to manage schedule batch jobs and other interfaces available today for Linux/UNIX. Also, it has some benchmarks -- we all love those little numbers.

If you get out-of-sync sound/video errors, please report bugs, and we will try to squash them. Also, please use the mailing lists if you need help before reporting your bugs. Click here to get it 2.2.4 (tar.gz) There are a lot of exciting things in this new release: Yet more code cleanups Support for more media files and TV 'ripping' All options in the ~/.V2divxrc file can now be passed/modify from the command line using long argument format.
