TMPGENc doesn't demux entire MPG file

[Zetti]

Hi all,

Please, forgive me if this has been posted before, I've made a search using the words "TMPGENC" and "Demux", took a quick look but hasn't found anything related to that;
Still, it's very unlikely I am the first one with this problem, as it happened to a largely popular software;

I extracted a MPEG file from an DVD-R disc (using TMPGENc DVD Author) and saved it properly at the HDD - OK this part, 2.0 AC3 audio muxed in;

Then, I went to do the demuxing at TMPGEnc , the file is 38 min long.

While audio has been demuxed properly, video M2V file showed only 19:15 minutes....I tried 4 times and in all cases TMPGENc demuxed only the same part always of the MPEG file

No error messages......curiously, as I said, AC3 demuxed file is OK;

It happens ONLY to this specific file...any guess ? I've tried 4 times
Completely weird for me

Thanks,

Zetti

Try demuxing with another program, like DVD2AVI. What program r u using to test/play the demuxed *.m2v file with?? Normally, MPEG-2 video of that we put on DVDs is VBR. Some player programs (WMP?) do not accurately report playing times with VBR streams; try playing your file (and slogging through all 38mins of it) and see if it indeed is as long as expected. The demuxed *.ac3, though, is CBR, so playing time indication is accurate. If the playing time is really wrong then that file may be corrupted (at least the video part).

Thanks, actually all softwares indicated the too short length, VS7, DVDitPE and WMP;

WOMBLE MPEG demuxed it properly, so I really believe there's a buggy in TMPGENc;
