what's wrong with convert.bat file?

[reven]

it looks like the temp.mpv file doesnt exist. check the C:\dvdtemp dir when you run this.

[philipo]

the files are certainly not being created - I assume it's DVD author that's supposed to create this? All seems to be pointing to the right place....is there a log I can check?

[reven]

nah no logs that i know of.

just check the temp directory, and see at which step its failing.
cPVAs.exe should create the temp.mpa and temp.mpv
mplex should create the temp.[n].mpg file
and check to see that "C:\temp\demux.ajb" is actually created.

[philipo]

No .mpa, .mpv, or mpg files created - but the demux.ajb file is created and in Temp

convert.bat file below:

C:\utils\cmdshell\cPVAS.exe "C:\temp\demux.ajb"
PAUSE
C:\utils\dvdauthor\DVDAuthorGUI\bin\mplex -f 8 -o %1 %2 %3
PAUSE
del "C:\temp\demux.ajb"
del %2
del %3

[reven]

try running each command manually and see what happens.

im not an expert on any of these programs, i just got it to work and forgot about them. i havent actually played around with these programs since i added the "my dvd" feature.

oh also check the demux.ajb file using notepad, and what language are you using? there maybe a problem with funny characters in the demux.ajb file.

and noticed here - http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Plugi...mmiesGuide
it says download the latest windows binaries.....whereas here

http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Plugin/MyVideos

it doesn't - it just says download the DVDauthorGUI program.

I've downloaded the Binaries now - but had a look at them, and not sure where they go......(where do I extract them to?)....

As far as the demux.ajb file goes - this is what is inside it:

dont worry about windows bins just yet, the problem is with cPVAs.

[philipo]

and what's up with it?

[reven]

try running cPVAs manually from the command line and see what happens.

all the convert.bat file has to do is convert invalid files to valid mpeg2 files for dvdauthor. and for mpeg2 files recoreded from PVR cards to do this you can just demux and then remux the files.

cpvas= demuxes
mplex = remuxes.
