I have asked before but no answers....so here goes.
I have encoded an mpeg2 movie 352x480 w/3:2 pulldown on playback. It set in TMPG as a SVCD stream. Now the problem. With my apex 703 I need to add a small trailer at the end because if I don't you miss the last 4-5 seconds with the 703 (on vcd and svcd). So I make my trailer clip about 15 sec long with EXACT same specs as the main clip. When I join however I lose audio in the end of the clip about 30 sec Before the joined area. It does this on mediaplayer, PowerDVD and Apex. Now the only way I have successfully kept the audio intact is to use the copy/b trick as such
C:\copy/b clip1.mpg+trailer.mpg output.mpg
Of course the mpeg clip is no longer valid when trying to use mpgXmps now. I tried demuxing the new stream with TMPG and no dice. it then cuts off the end of the audio and video. So does anyone have a clue as to why?

Hi,
try this:
http://extra.newsguy.com/~theprof/
Camels's MPEGJoin
VCD <> DVD ;((( -
Thnx for the reply. I will give it a look. What I would really like to know is why TMPG doesn't like to join it correctly. I think it has something to do with the encoding (also TMPG) not the joining process however.

Just trow it in as te second track on the last disk

Can't do that.....see the problem is the player skips the last few seconds on EACH track. that is why the little trailer is needed.

OK update time....
Camel does no better than my copy/b trick. But the good news is this. Using my copy/b little trick I finally got mpgXmps to convert it OK then used I-author. It plays fine in my standalone save one thing. It shows the play time as 00:07 but still plays the movie correctly, but I have lost the ability to goto a specific time (unless I just want to go to 00:05
)
So a new question is does anyone know (this ones a toughy) how I-author gets its time code. the *.sdt file or from scanning the *.mps file? is there any way to edit it to get it to show the correct time, say with a hex editor?

OK, I have narrowed it down to a problem when Tmpg encodes the file (doesn't seem to have this problem with mpeg1). I tried encoding a stream with LSX and then joining with Tmpg and presto no problem with the audio. Anyone know why Tmpg does this and has anyone else had this problem?

what u could do is demux the audio from the svcd file u encoded before u try to join it with the end clip,
then join them and mux the audio u just took from the original svcd with the joined file, for all this use tmpgenc
just a thought

wait my bad u fixed the prob, oh well..
