The only way that I've found to fix this is to use Sun's JVM.
Did you need to un-install the other JVM, before installing the Sun one?
Thanks, got it: /usr/java/jre1.5.0_07/bin/java -jar ProjectX.jar
Can someone help me out, or point me to a decent 'beginners' site for ProjectX?
I want to create MPEG files from VDR files, which I can write to a DVD &/OR convert VDR files into divx (etc) avi files.
What I'm doing to achieve this is demux-ing the VDR, then mplex-ing the streams, then tovid-ing into a DVD OR 2-pass mencode-ing to AVI. Can ProjectX take some of these steps out? i.e. Can it demux and mplex the VDR into an MP2 directly? Or transcode into msmpeg directly etc?
No. This is what I'd do, given a recording with one video stream and one audio stream:
$ projectx -out . /video/.../[0-9]*vdr
Multiplexing, not for DVD:
$ mplex -f 3 001.m2v 001.mp2 -o out.mpg # untested here :-)
Writing to DVD:
$ mkdir -p iso
$ mplex -f 8 001.m2v 001.mp2 -o out.mpg $ dvdauthor -o iso -t out.mpg
$ dvdauthor -o iso --toc $ growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvdrw -dvd-video iso
$ rm -rf iso/*
Writing to DVD (alternative method, via a pipe):
$ mkdir -p iso $ mkfifo mpeg.pipe
$ mplex -f 8 001.m2v 001.mp2 -o mpeg.pipe & $ dvdauthor -o iso -t mpeg.pipe
$ dvdauthor -o iso --toc $ growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvdrw -dvd-video iso
$ rm -rf iso/*
