Hi. MPEG streams generated by mplex from a variable bitrate video stream (such as those generated by mpeg_encode) and an audio stream are generally unplayable by any decent mpeg player, except plaympeg/gtv which works ok for some mysterious reason. If I mplex two fixed-rate streams everything is perfect. Slight problem: I use mpeg2encode to generate fixed-rate streams which is about 4 times slower than mpeg_encode :( I see lots of 'time out' messages when using mplex on VBR streams which can't be good, and possibly explains why the resulting streams are unplayable. So, have any of you seen either something that can encode fixed-rate MPEG videos faster than mpeg2encode or a replacement for mplex that can handle VBR streams?
