[SOLVED] MP2 audio cutting problem in MeGUI (0 bytes rejoin)

[falco2000]

Hello everybody, after some weeks I finally managed to come back doing tests to edit and convert my MPG (MPEG-2 + MP2) DVB-T recordings to MP4 (h.264+MP3) (some of you probably remember my posts).

I finally left VirtualDub and switched to MeGUI, but I have a problem: I would like, in some cases, to leave in the output movie the MP2 audio stream (it's encoded @128Kbps and I don't want to reencode it in MP3 since the byte size is not much lower), so I had to switch to the MKV format for the container.
All fine up to now, but here comes the problem: I removed 6 ad blocks from the video stream and I have 6 couples of frame numbers that identify the "zones" that will compose the new (and shorter) movie. I saved the list of these cuts in a MeGUI cut list (.clt).
But when I use the MeGUI "Audio cutter" tool opening the MP2 file and the related .clt cut list file and choosing a destination file name for the new audio stream, the tool correctly creates 6 MP2 files but rejoins them in a file that is 0 bytes long (i.e. it's unusable).

What I'd like to know is if this is a bug or some mistake of mine, and if, whichever the case, there is a simple workaround (I suppose it would be a free MP2 joiner).

Thank you everybody!

I solved the problem The input MP2 filename was already very long, so, when MeGUI's Audio Cutter created the 6 cut files and added some numbers in their filenames, these filenames become too long for Windows 7. The 6 files existed on the hd and had a correct filesize, but when MeGUI's Audio Cutter reopened them to join them, I think it "silently" failed to read them and created a new empty file as the final output.
So I used a shorter filename for the input MP2 and MeGUI successfully joined the 6 pieces in a correct output file.
