mplex -> MAX file size

[Hi8]

I'm having allot of luck authoring DVDs via -

Tytool 5r2
Vsplit13c
BeSweet
mplex
Spruce-Up

modified "Resource Editor" parms 720x480

works great VBR (SA TiVo) with streams under 2gigs.

mplex is defaulted to 2000M for output file size

I've tried using the -S 0 (switch) but it doesn't seem to have an effect!

does anyone have a commandline they can share that works to create an .mpg larger than a win98 2gig file?

if I use TMPGenc to multplex it works fine, but I like to use mplex for the automation I can get via a batch file.

You are (most likely) running into a filesystem limitation. You're running Win98? What filesystem is your HD? Fat or FAT32?

perhaps I wasn't clear ... it defaults to win98 fat --

I'm using Win2k -- which does NOT have the 2gig file limit. I want to enable files greater than 2gigs as an output. I've tried the switch -S 0 - but it still creates the 2 gig file. Trust me it is not my OS - the files mplex is working with are larger than 2gigs.

any help would help!

I believe that jdiner had similar problems with his Linux executable earlier this year, because he left out a compile/link qualifier to support large files. Not being a C developer myself, I can't remember what the exact qualifer was, LARGE_FILES or something similar.

I don't know the answer, but have a couple of questions that might make it more obvious for the C-proficient readers:

- what version of mplex source / binary are you running ?
- what compiler and version were used to build it ?
- are you running it under CygWin, or in a DOS window ?

hope this helps . . .

sounds possible...

I'm running ver. 1.6.0

just the compiled binary for windows in a DOS box.


thanks for the attention... and possible future solution.
