GOP problems

[jchansen]

Hi folks.

I saw that Makira has a small CLI app for fixing timecodes on bad streams, as opposed to using MPEGAppend. Does anyone know if there is anything that will fix GOP problems, or is it more likely that "bad stream" errors in DVDSP are always timecode problems? Perhaps this "bits" app (see below for link) would be a nice inclusion with EvenMoreMMT or TheUndeadMMT or MMTStrikesBack?

You may laugh now.

I could not find the post about "Bits"
Please give me some information.
1) What does it do?
2) When do you use it?
3) How do you use it?

It's someone looking for an alternative to MpegAppend. I've just used the Bits binary, and it does just the one thing for timecodes. Boy does it work! As far as the specifics and mechanics, that's not something I can answer. You use it when DVDSP reports a bad stream. What do you think?
