VideoPack error: illegal MPEG packet

[AntnyMD]

I see the last post on this subject is old, but it's what I found in my many searches that remotely addressed my latest VideoPack 4 issue.

I tried to add up to twelve MPEG tracks in my VideoPack 4 layout, plus four CDDA tracks, for a program length of 66 minutes (and change). VideoPack 4 rejected my project every time.

In a random search that had nothing to do with a previous problem, I read somewhere in this site about VideoPack 4 having a limit (or bug) regarding how many MPEG tracks it would accept. Furthermore, there's an additional limit (or bug) that rejects more than four entrypoints per MPEG track.

Does anyone recall reading anything like this here, or have experienced this issue themselves, or know how I can create this project with the zillion MPEG tracks?

At this rate, the music videos I'm trying to burn with entrypoints are going to be so burned into my memory, I won't need a freaking VCD of them!

Just for people still learning VideoPack 4 (as am I), I solved my problem last night after experimenting a little:

I put an into MPEG track and a still JPEG with audio in the main window. These two items were included as individual playlist items. The third item was a container item. Inside this container I added all my MPEG tracks, the thirteen music video clips. In a second container I put my WAV files for the CD-DA portion of the VCD.

I burned the image successfully and afterward, burned the final CD successfully. So there is a use for those weird containers after all.

Tonight I will try to add a skidillion entrypoints/chapters to my VCD of Traffic and see how it goes.

Here's to learning VideoPack!
