forty-two error !?! hep me please! unexpected EOF !?!

[Percy Dovetonsils]

I'm trying to use forty-two to go from DVD to VCD with my Jackie Brown disc and get the following error message:

sh: -c line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching'"
sh: -c line 2 syntax error :unexpected end of file (2)

This is the first time I tried to use this program but it ain't working-any helpful suggestions?

Thanks!

make sure your file path to save location / source has no spaces, illegal characters etc

My Hardrive is ILLEGAL as far as 42 is concerned
no spaces!!! no " ' / # @ $ etc also.

that should clear it up for ya

Okay...so I got it going...it took over a day....and I don't think it worked right....here what I ended up with:

1 file named biles.mp2
another named biles.mpv
and a folder called JACKIE_BROWN-BurnWhatsInHere - except there is nothing in there...
i double clicked on the mp2 and it opened up in itunes and played...

Can i still get a VCD out of these elements?Should'nt I have ended up with BIN and CUE files?

Please hep!

just mux the mpv and mp2 file using ffmpeg. it will work.

it SHOULD work.

That did work...thanks.

Now, how to author to VCD and what happened to bin and cue files?
Did something go wrong or did I do something wrong?
Am i supposed to end up with them?
What about the empty folder that says "burn this"?

[Percy Dovetonsils]

Actually it worked except...the audio and the video don't seem to be perfectly lined up...This seems to be a recurring problem with me... My other computer is in the shop for a bum logic board but don't know why I'm getting the same type of problems on my iBook...

Another weird problem...my .mpg file now is 1.5 gigs or something...Ain't gonna fit on one CD...can it be salvaged?
I'm sorry- I got a lotta problems with this stuff I guess...[/code]

I take this back-the audio and the video are locked up pretty good when i look at it in a small window-fullscreen looks a little off but it's maybe cuz of the slow computer?

Still need to figure out how to split this thing up so it'll fit on 2 cd's--QT Pro won't let me edit 'em....

latest problem-
split files with MPGTXgui-play fine in quicktime-
burned to VCD-
the video and audio is nowhere near lined up-
where did I lose the sync?
I burned using toast 5

I am having much of the same problems...
Make sure 42 uses separate IN (or use DVD directly), OUT en TEMP folders. Then you wont have to use ffmpeg for muxing.
The out of sync problem is another problem. I found no solution yet.

Give it a try, and maybe we can get closer to 'perfection'.

Hey Peoples-
Anyone know why me and this other guys VCD are ending up outta sync?
The MPG's I'm burning are in sync-the resulting VCD in toast is very out of sync.
Anybody got an idea for us?
