VCDMux help

[Toet]

Hi,
I'm trying to make a VCD with the VCD 2.0 Toolkit, and I know that in order to make the Toolkit accept an MPEG, it has to be 100% compliant. Now I read in the guides, that in order to do that, it should help to re-multiplex the file with VCDMux.

So I de-multiplexed the file with TMPGEnc following the guides, and I tried to re-multiplex it with VCDMux.

But during the process of multiplexing, I get the following errors:

Underflow error for video stream 0 at (null)
Underflow error for audio stream 0 at (null)

A little search on ICDIA points out that a possible solution is using the multiplexer "PINK", but I can't find that program anywhere.
Does anyone here know of another solution?
Thanks in advance.

This is because you created the Mpeg file with TMPGenc, which does not create vcd 2.0 compliant file.
De-multiplexing and then muxing with VCD MUX will not help. You should create vcd 2.0 mpeg file as stated in the guide, and then you will have no problem.

The file "PINK" is a .dll file called pink.dll which is in the same directory you installed vcd toolkit, From your start bar launch find files or folders and type pink.dll and youll find it.

First, thanks for the help.

I took a look at the guides again. At first, I didn't want to re-encode the MPEG file, because I though that would greatly decrease image quality.

Now I followed the guide and re-encoded video and audio separately using TMPGEnc, and muxed them with VCDMux. No problems.

So, I finally got everything to work!

Too bad it takes about 10 hours to do this whole progress twice (movie = 2 cd's) though. But at least it will play on my CD-i now without freezing.

Thanks again!
