Demuxing causes bad .m2v?

[EddieRomo]

Hi, I am trying to make a dvd out of 3 svcd's. So here's what i tried.
1. made the svcd's into .bin's
2.extracted the .mpg from the bin's with GNU vcdtools
3.joined the 3 .mpg's with mpgtxwrap (the joined .mpg plays fine in VCL)
4. Demuxed the joined .mpg, although it finishs demuxing, the terminal says "could not allocate Buffer of Size -1, Option Preserve Header now disabled!"
5. convert the mp2 to 48Hz
6. VCL frezzes when I try playing the m2v
7. If i try to mux the .m2v witht the mp2(48Hz) the terminal says "**ERROR: [mplex] File /Users/edmund/Desktop/joined.m2v unrecogniseable!

Any suggestions? the m2v is 1.97 GB, is it because the file is too large? whats going on?

Im also interested in this and posted similar a couple of weeks ago.
I think the problem is in step 3 (joining) or possibly step 2 (ripping)

does it have to do headers??

... sorry I'm no help but hopefully someone will be.

Yes, mpgtx can't straighten out those bumps between joined parts. If you can boot into OS 9, you can use MPEG Append for free. If not, you'll have to pay $49 after the trial period.

If you use my SVCD to DVD method, you dont need to join the 3 into one mpeg file. The terminal app will join them for you after you have set them to 48khz and remux individually.

Have you tried demuxing the single .mpeg ifles like you would the joined one?

No, ive played a 3 gig .m2v fine (.m2v by its name doesnt have sound so it will play the movie only)

try looking at my webpage, and follow the SVCD to DVD tutorial, see what results you get.
