The most important component of any DVD authoring system is its multiplexing engine. It should be flawless, and well tested.
This is the purpose of my very simple first authoring program, Muxman.

Fraiser hat geschrieben:Hi,

leider scheint das Programm probleme mit den DBox Streams
zu haben (siehe Bild) . Bei mir meldet es immer 'GOP contains more than 15 frames...'.
Habe es mit drei verschiedenen Aufnahmen ausprobiert, aber immer die selbe Fehlermeldung.
Auch nicht Konforme DVD Auflösungen (z.B. 480*576 etc.) nimmt es nicht an.
Schade, sah sonst nicht schlecht aus.
