Bug 167862 – media-video/mjpegtools-1.8.0-r1 - mpg's made by mplex cause CRC errors in mplayer

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST

[Description Daiajo Tibdixious 2007-02-21 10:53:28 UTC]

I am following the "How to author AVI->DVD with menus using Linux only!"
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=117709
One step is to create a picture, then replicate it to several frames to make a movie, using:
$ convert background.png ppm:- | ppmtoy4m -n50 -F25:1 -A59:54 -I p -r -S 420mpeg2 | mpeg2enc -n p -f8 -b5000 -a2 -o background.m2v
the resultant m2v file is playable in mplayer without errors.
The next step is to combine this movie with sound to create the final mpg:
$ mplex -f 8 --mux-limit 2 -o background.mpg background.m2v 096.ac3
the "096.ac3" is the sound track from the avi file created from a previous step. The sound file is much longer than the m2v file, so I added --mux_limit which is not in the guide to limit it to 2 seconds.
The ac3 file is playable in mplayer without errors.
Playing the resultant mpg file (I've tried several different episodes of the same series) all give:
VO: [xv] 640x480 => 640x480 Planar YV12
a52: CRC check failed!  0.009 ct:  0.049  46/ 46  7%  4%  0.6% 0 0
a52: error at resampling
A:   2.0 V:   2.0 A-V: -0.012 ct:  0.045  48/ 48  7%  4%  0.6% 0 0
after playing about 1 second.
I've tried different values on mux_limit to no avail.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. follow http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=117709
2. at the menu mplex step, add --mux_limit
3. mplayer the mpg output file

Actual Results:
