mplex ac3 tcextracted audio problem...
 
Well, dont know what to really make of this, ive been having trouble with it all night.
It seems i cant mplex my ac3 audio which has been extracted from a vob file with my video m2v file also coming from the same vob... mplex doesnt seem to recognize the ac3 format, although i have tried with a different audio track " tcextract [...] -a 9 " which is DTS audio and mplex allows the multiplexing to go ahead...

On the other hand, tcmplex gives me no problem and allows the multiplexing.

Is this a bug with mplex?

what is weird is that i could get the ac3 mplexed with my m2v no problem on the first vob file, then the second and third and .... is a no go.

here is the output of tcprobe for the first four vob files: and lower down the mplex and tcmplex situation with the ac3 file which has been extracted from the fourth vob file with tcextract.

I had this trouble too for a while; if I understand your problem correctly, the splitting of the first vob works fine, but the split data of the later vobs is unrecognizable for what it is by mplex (and a little bit weird as various players go. I had this unrecognizable output with both m2v and the ac3 data using tcextract.
What you need to do first is cat all of the VTS_1_0.VOB ... VTS_1_1.VOB.... into one big VOB. See, the problem is that ISO standard limits the size of any file, so VTS_1_[1-n] is actually all one vob, with crucial info residing in VTS_1_1.VOB (you can always lop off the #0 vob, I've found). Once you do that, you can split out the ac3 and m2v data from your vobwad, shrink the video as needed, and multiplex them back together. I found many sites talking about the extraction, but only one actually suggested the combining of all vobs into one lump vob. Weird.

ln -s /mirroreddvd/ERFMOVIE/VIDEO_TS/VTS_1*.VOB ./
rm ./VTS_1_0.VOB
cat *.VOB > moviewad.vob

Then play with the moviewad.vob

blah blah blah. Hope this helps, I'm too drunk to elaborate or care.;)
