failure multiplexing elementary streams

When I'm converting a .MPG to DVD, I get DOS programs running for the demux and transcode, but the mux step flashes a DOS box too quick to read and stops.

I had to get version b19 of BeSweet as b18 is no longer on their website.. Perhaps this is the problem?

I get as far as this:

############### New MPEG File ###############
File: O:\work\trfmstr.mpg
Horizontal Res: 352
Audio SampleRate: 44100

******** Demultipexing original mpg file

******** Resampling audio from 44.1 KHz to 48 KHz

******** Multipexing elementry streams

But nothing actually happens during the mux stage.

I should add to this the versions:

BeSweet 1.5b19
SVCD2VCDMPG+ 1.0.1298.34001

I'll get the hang of this forum eventually. Around the time that DVD is replaced by hyperdisc technology.

That should read:

(S)VCD2DVDMPG+: v1.0.1298.34001

Making a long thread on my own....

Following on from an email I received from chrissyboy reminding me that he sent a link to b18 of BeSweet, I installed that and it's made bugger all difference.

I can see that it's running b18 in the early stages but when it comes to the remux, it's still a few flashing dos boxes and no progress.

are you ectracring all the files from besweet into a folder inside svcd2dvd because if you are not this will stop it from working the way you explained. i had the same problem

Yep. Put them all into BeSweet folder inside the SVCD2DVD+ folder in program files.

I suspect I'm doing something silly but as yet, I can't see what it is. I even blew away BeSweet and SVCD2DVD+ and reinstalled them, taking great care to (A) have the right version of BeSweet and (B) put it in the correct location. Still no joy.

The frustrating thing is, the free version worked without a hitch but didn't do everything I wanted whereas I'm finding problems using the pay for one

i only know you nee besweet b17 or b18 maybe Chrissy should see if he can make it work with besweet b19.

I'm having the same problems with some friends svcds ... 8 episodes. I'm trying to run them through SVCD2DVDMPG to put them on a single DVD but it just skips thtough real fast and stops at "Multipexing elementry streams" in the log. I got the correct versions and its all installed correctly just like it said to in the emails. Most films work fine but some just won't have any of it. I can't seem to pick out any differences from the ones that work and the ones that don't. Maybe someone who had this problem and solved it can enlighten me TIA

Guys:

Read this thread an in particular my post:

https://www.videohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=166647#588368

Hope fully the next version (SVCD2DVD 1.5) will offer some reasons by way of explianation.

Okay I read that. It seems to claim that the reason things aren't working is due to corrupt mpeg streams?

The 7 VCD MPEG streams I'm trying to process with SVCD2DVDMPG+ were processed quite happily (demuxed, transcoded, muxed) by the free version SVCD2DVDMPG, but the mux step barfs with SVCD2DVDMPG+. Now the only reason for forking out the cash was to get the automatic authoring step that's missing from the free one, but it dosen't even get that far

If the streams are 'corrupt' as far as the + version is concerned, why do they work (and produce valid MPG files, so far as I can tell) in SVCD2DVDMPG? These streams work without any kind of conversion when burned straight to VCD.

Hope I'm not coming over as too much of a whinge it's just I'm trying to understand what the problem is.

You need a different version of besweet for svcd2dvdmpg+ besweet b17 or b18. I think you need b14 for svcd2dvdmpg.

Happily the problem is now resolved.

I applied Service Pack 1 to Windows XP and now SVCD2DVDMPG+ works like a charm on all the MPEGS it was barfing on before!
