MuxMan 1.44: VIDEO_TS.IFO Appears Truncated
Normally, when I select the VIDEO_TS.IFO of a DVD in a software player, it plays the whole movie; however, when I do this with the output from MuxMan, it plays only up to the end of the first chapter. The chapters I wish to use load successfully, and the whole movie is contained in the VOBs. It sounds like the same problem that was discussed in this thread.
I would appreciate some help. Code:

Please load the DVD in PgcEdit, select the main movie in the right pane, and use the Info -> PGC menu. Post the output here within [ CODE ] marks. I'll try to help...

Thanks for your willingness to help. I loaded the DVD into PGCEdit. There are several items visible on the pane on the left, and I'm not sure which to select.
Moreover, I cannot see a PGC Menu option under the Info tab. If I select VTST 1.1 and go to Info → PGC, this is the result. Code:

OK, obviously, there is only one chapter, and its duration is 21 seconds. That's very strange indeed, and I don't know what has caused that problem. I have never encountered it. Try to redo the mux, and double-check if your chapter file is correct before loading it in muxman.
I'm sorry, but I can't help much more.

I've tried repeating the mux without success. Moreover, I tried chapter files created in different ways. MuxMan seems to accept only frame numbers.
Code:

Yes, I know. But are you sure that your movie has more than 224570 frames? Muxman doesn't like out of range frame numbers.

OK, then I give up. I don't know why muxman doesn't work as expected. Try to contact mpucoder...

Hi! My impression is that before the remux of the DVD, you did some reencoding of the video stream without telling your MPEG2 encoder about the placement of I frames at the suitable points (scene change locations).
The frequent discrepancies in the MuxMan log between the chapter locations requests and the actual locations provided by MuxMan in the authoring session tend to suggest that this is the case. If this discrepancy happens also for the last chapter, then the authoring engine may try to set the last chapter point so close to the end of the stream to be unable to complete properly its work. If you want to make a simple test, please remove the last entry from the chapter file with a text editor. I guess that you should be able to properly create a DVD with 53 chapters... This is just a test, of course, since you are looking for a DVD with 54 chapters, not 53... :-) The proper solution to you issue (again, I guess) is to reencode your video by instructing the MPEG2 encoder to insert I frames at the desired location for the chapter splitting, at the scene changes... Cheers, SD Edit: now that I think about... A similar issue could arise when the last cell of your DVD is just a void cell (a short cell containing just one or more black frames)... Well, let's see first of all what happens once you remove the last entry from your chapter file... Last edited by Sir Didymus; 24th August 2014 at 14:09. Reason: some detailing... |

I wonder also what happens if the file is muxed without a chapter file at all. If it works, it is certainly possible to add the chapters later with VobBlanker. Anyway, your test is easier and should be tried first.

Deleting the last chapter made no difference, but without chapters the DVD muxes successfully. This suggests that the format of the chapter file might be an issue. Celltimes from PGCDemux and ChapterGrabber produce the same result though, and MuxMan does recognize the chapters because the scenes button in the segment contents tab changes accordingly. |

<<
if MuxMan repositioned the chapters to the nearest I-frame, as is suggested by the log, why would the result be problematic? >> It was just a speculation... If the last scene contains a single GOP, missing to hit precisely the last chapter point makes the job of the authoring engine impossible... But this seems different from your scenario, apparently... << without chapters the DVD muxes successfully. >> This is a good news... At the minimum, you can add manually the chapters with VobBlanker, one by one, as suggested by r0lZ ... << This suggests that the format of the chapter file might be an issue. Celltimes from PGCDemux and ChapterGrabber produce the same result though, and MuxMan does recognize the chapters because the scenes button in the segment contents tab changes accordingly. >> ?!? Sorry, what you say sounds odd to me... Initially you say that the format of the chapter file might be an issue. I am convinced it is not. In the MuxMan log the scene change requests are all listed, so the format itself of the chapter file is not an issue. This is out of discussion. What might be an issue is not the syntax, but the semantics... I mean, there are apparently some reasons which prevent the authoring to complete successfully by using 54 and 53 chapters... Maybe it is worth to try with 1 or 2? :-) |

IMO, the problem is here. The film after pulldown has not the same number of frames that the original. Therefore the frame numbers of the original chapter files do not match. I suppose it's what causes the error. But obviously muxman has a bug here, as it should at least complete the job (possibly with misplaced chapter points).

Yes. I'll try that and see what happens. The thing is though that the same chapter file works in DVD-Lab Pro, and the chapters are correctly placed, albeit with the same minor difference in timing caused by moving them to the nearest I-frame. (I know you are going to ask why I don't simply use DVD-Lab Pro, and the answer is that there are circumstances in which I wish to have the option of using MuxMan, which is why I am trying to solve the problem, rather than just accepting it.) Moreover, the original DVD is almost completely soft telecined, so although it is logical to think that pulldown might be the cause of the problem, I'm not sure that it is. EDIT: With one or two chapters, I get the same result. Furthermore, if I delete only the first chapter, the output plays up to the new first chapter (= the old second chapter) and then stops.

One other thing that I noticed is that the frame numbers produced by PGCDemux and ChapterGrabber are slightly different. Here are the first few. PGCDemux is on the left. Code:

I have always used PGCDemux or PgcEdit to grab the frame numbers and I have never had any problem. I don't know ChapterGrabber.

The same here: always used (with total confidence) PGCDemux and PgcEdit to grab the frame numbers. No experience with ChapterGrabber.
<< The begin and end times for the mux are still the same though. >> My mistake... Based on my faulty memory... :-) The timestamps in your original log are all OK; there is no video in the VMG domain in your scenario and all of the mux time is spent on the VTS01... OK. Bye! |
