MF5 + Audio data Error

Post by BH9244 »

Using DVDMF 5.0 to create VCD's captured using the Hauppauge PVR150 card. Occasionally the VCD creation ends with a error stating "The audio data in this mpeg is not compatible with this program.", so far as I know I am not doing anything different during the capture process from other VCDs that complete successfully. Any ideas what may be wrong. Thanks for any input.

Did you edit the MPEG? A lot of weird things can happen when you edit MPEGs. (Unfortunately, the Hauppauge cards can only capture to MPEG.) I have a Hauppauge card, and I've never had any trouble with unedited MPEGs.*

It's probably not truly a compatibility problem. It is more-likely corruption of the MPEG audio and/or video stream. A slightly-corrupt file will often play back OK but cause problems when you try to edit it, re-code it, or re-multiplex it.

Did you use the Hauppauge capture software? Did you use a VCD compatible capture setting (if there is one)?



* Your situation may be different from mine (I've never made a VCD), but I ended-up buying a special-purpose MPEG editor from Womble.

I captured it using MF5, didn't make any further changes to it, I used the default MPEG capture format.

What program did you use to capture the video?
Did you capture direct to the VCD format or capture in another format and are having MF convert the videos to VCD format.

In MF is your project set to VCD? Are the Project Settings properly set to your target format?
