fastSVCD [mpeg2video @ 0x1b7ec4]rc buffer underflow

[ykz]

greetings major,

wanted to try out your new features but on every vob - i tried three different vobs so far - i try to convert using the fastSVCD preset i get this messages and the multiplexing errors (**ERROR: [mplex] MUX STATUS: Frame data under-runs detected!)

here's the log from the mpeg2 encoding (omitting the rest of the buffer underflow messages):

The multiplexed video has either stuttering sound or video.

thanks for info

Can you send me a link to download a small chapter of your source file, so as I can test with it.

Possibly the problem is arising as you are using an anormally low value for the max quantizer. Please keep quantizer values as in the preset.

Hi major.

I got the same kind of problem with pure fastvcd preset.I Know it's not really interresting for people readind me, but here it is:

ffmpeg VCD/SVCD bitrate control has still some issues, resulting in buffer problems and high bitrate peaks. When this happens, try disabling "decode with quicktime" and see if your player accepts the output.
