multiplexing problem (vcd header)

[headless chicken]

I am trying to use the VCD header trick in TMPGEnc to multiplex an SVCD MPEG2 file to MPEG1 (file >> MPEG Tools >> Multiplex). After the process reaches 7%, the indicator bar shoots to 100% and the coversion is said to be completed. However, the newly outputted file is only a few minutes long (because the process did not complete in actuality).

The original SVCD file plays fine...and so does the new file, although it is truncated. How can I ensure that the multiplexing process goes through to completion?? This has never happened to me before.

I've had something like this happen before. What I am about to suggest may not work for you but it did for me.

Try demultiplexing your file and then re-multiplex the m2v and mp2 files. Then try the header trick on the newly created file. I know it sounds like a pain but it might be worth a shot.

I tried your suggestion, but I'm running into the same problem. The process works until 7% and then finishes abruptly.

Any other suggestions? There must be something I can do to save the file, since it works perfectly.

Did it de-multiplex fine? I had another problem where I just needed to decompress the mp2 and than convert back again using Besweet.

Hey, check out this thread. Not the most pleasing solution but it'll work.

Did it de-multiplex fine? [/url].

Nope, same problem. Tryed demultiplexing with TMPGEnc and it went to about 7% and then finished.
