mplex fails with mytharchive (was 'MythArchive/dvdauthor fails; Cannot Find Chapter 2 (Result: 1))



I have been trying for the last week to get mytharchive to work. It
keeps failing on mplex, complaining of a bad audio stream. When I
listen to the file, it sounds fine.

I have tried a bunch of stuff but I cannot get this to work. I removed
all the relevant software, reinstalled, tried with a new file, and
Googled the mjpegtools error specifically.

I am attaching the mythburn.log file to this message (I cut out all
the large stuff). I am really stumped on this...and bummed b/c the
only reason I upgraded from FC3 to FC4 was so I could use mytharchive.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Paul,

Thanks for the tips. I tried it again with only 'Always Use
Mythtranscode' selected and another file...same issue.

I am going to try it again without 'Always Use Mythtranscode'
selected. If that doesn't work, I am going to try the pieces
individually to see if I can't get to the bottom of this.

Thanks again for the help.

Mark
