This time I edited the sh script that is generatedby fxtv so that it wouldn't delete the temporary files. I checked out the .mpg video only stream, and it played fine, and I checked out the .mp2 audio stream, and it also played fine. Only after mplex'ing them together do things stop working. I tried an older version of mplex and got similar results.... Looks to me like mplex is at fault but I'm not sure... > Which version of fxtv? If not 1.02, try that one.

So 20 minutes of video isn't a huge deal, but it does take about 6-7 hours to encode the mpeg on my machine, so that's a bit of a drawback, but mpeg_encode makesmuch better mpeg streams than the Xing encoder does under windows, so it's worth it, or at least it will be when I figure out how to get thigns working with mplex. - Matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
