Scenarist Final Mux Problem

If you are altering your .ac3 files, then I would strongly recommend also deleting the scenarist parsing files, then opening your Scenarist project and allowing Scenarist to re-parse the modified .ac3 files before you go for a multiplexing/building session. Arky ;o)

When i alter the ac3 file, i always create a new one, import it into scenarist, kill the audio in the track and recreate it from the new ac3 file. But i knew that there is a parsing file for video (the .vif i think), but where is the ac3 parsing file ? Matz

If you cannot find a related parsing file, then you can alternatively simply rename your audio file so that it does not match the name of the original, unaltered .ac3 file. For example, if the original, unaltered .ac3 file was called: "racing_car_soundtrack.ac3" then you could modify it with ac3fix (if that's what you wish to do - I'm not saying you should or you shouldn't - that's your choice, not mine), or whatever program you wish to run the .ac3 file through, then rename your new modified .ac3 file to: "racing_car_soundtrack_MOD.ac3" That way, Scenarist would automatically create a new parsing file for your .ac3 soundtrack, purely because it has a different name. I don't use Scenarist myself (I can't afford it, so I never had the inclination to invest too much time learning a program I could not potentially use on a commercial basis), but I am fairly sure it parses both audio and video files, as, indeed, does Maestro. Arky ;o)

Scenarist is making a parsing file for videos but i think that it does not generate any parsing file for AC3 (maube for mp2 but i'm not wotking with mp2). Actually, whrn i got this error, i simply relaunch the layout process, without erasing or touching at anything, and it works... Strange...

I found the solution on the Sonic support page : Title Size of Vob file Mismatch - please contact technical support Description Scenarist Authoring Symptom When multiplexing, an error message appears: Error Size of Vob file mismatch. Please contact technical support. Solution This can be caused by a number of issues. Most common are read prroblems from hard disks or write problems to hard disks. Defragment your hard drives thoroughly. If the problem persists move the source assets to a different drive and select a different target directory. In some cases rebuilding the track in question helps as well. Rarely it can be caused by a corrupt audio stream which will need to be reencoded. I defragmented my destination disk, and every is fine now ! Maybe this should be on a FAQ about Scenarist
