Error...

Ok so I have a .mov file I want to make a VCD out of, so I go to encode it and everything is working fine, a .m1v and .mp2 file pops up.. then a few minutes later I get an error:

**ERROR: [mplex] Too many frame drops -exiting

Then it stops, but it already made the full .m1v and mp2 files... So I went to the tools tab in ffmpegX and under video tools I put in the .m1v and the .mp2 and press Mux as... VCD. It starts to encode and then I get the same error as before... data will arrive too late sent(SCR)=4131600 required(DTS)=0

So what am I doing wrong? Since I already have the full .m1v and .mp2 files is thier a easy way of making them into a VCD? Thanks in advance to anyone with any help or suggestions.

Your streams doesn't seem VCD compliant, so you should mux them as XVCD.

Hey thanks for the reply.. I tryed xvcd and got pretty much the same error...

I'm not any type of pro when it comes to video, but shouldn't a basic NTSC 29.97fps .mov file that I made in final cut pro be vcd compliant? I dunno any help is very much appreciated. Thanks!

If you can upload your clips to some web space so as I can download them, I'll try to test and let you know.

I have a similar set of error messages when trying to convert an 800 MB high quality .MOV from iMovie to an MPEG 2. Were you able to figure out a solution to his problem?

Thanks!
