Chapter -> "Number of possible entry points" qu

3dfreak · Member Joined: 31 Dec 2002

Hi all,

I have a Mpeg1-VCD compliant file that I want to use to make a VCD with menus and chapters.

I have mastered the VCD files with TMpegenc adding some critical "I" frame to specific location for my chapter insertion. I have manually added 16 "I" frames.

If I open the file in VirtualDUB, I can see all the "I" frame, and all the ones that I have added are there. VirtualDUB reports a total of 3057 "I" frames (and 15108 "P" and 36038 "B" frames)

When I open the same file in VCDEasy, the "Number of possible entry points" is only of 2540 and none of my manually added "I" frames are in those.

What am I doing wrong ? Since I can't use my manually added "I" frame, my chapters are not properly index and that does not look very professionnal.

Any help/info would be appreciated!

Seeya!

You need more than just I-frames... There also has to be a GOP header and a sequence header... I'm not entirely sure what TMPGEnc does but it seems that setting it to "close GOPs" can help.

Else, try the suggestion that mpegobsession wrote above.

Regards.
