Trying to multiplex with mencoder

Hello,
i'm unsuccsessfully trying to mux multiple audio streams into an avi container. Mencoder always only muxes one audio file into the avi and drops the other, although both audio files i want to mux together with the video have the same bitrate and were both encoded with lame (I read, that in this case mencoder could mux multiple audio streams consecutivly).
The command i use to mux an audio mp3-file with my video is:
mencoder -oac copy -ovc copy -o input.avi -audiofile audio.mp3 output.avi
Do you know what went wrong?
Great thanks for any answers,
Ben

To bypass this error attempt either a restart of your computer, or use an alernate broser such as firefox or chrome. If you already have another browser the latter may be the easier fix.

A/V sync problems with mencoder -- trying to convert to 30fps

The title says it all. When encoding with mencoder (latest from extra repo), with seemingly everything tried, I absolutely cannot get the audio to sync! It's driving me nuts! Here is the basic command command I used:
mencoder -fps 30 -ofps 30 -ovc xvid -oac mp3lame -xvidencopts bitrate=whatever_i_want:trellis:aspect=16/9 -lameopts cbr:br=128 -vf harddup,expand=aspect=16/9,scale=480:272 infile -o outfile
Where the infile was any one of:
* A standard, .avi Xvid 23.976 fps 800kb/s video with MP3 112kb/s audio DVD rip you can find on the net and filesharing sites (here the vbitrate was 800kb/s)
* An .mpeg MPEG1 25fps 1150kb/s video MP2 224kb/s audio (here bitrates were outputted to the same values)
* An .mp4 H264 29.989fps high-bitrate (in the 2000s, was somewhat random) video AAC audio file downloaded directly from Youtube with a DL mp4 from YT Firefox extension
I also tried to mess with the codec settings, like using libavcodec, no trellis as an option, different bitrates etc. but the audio is still out of sync! Although on the mencoder man page it says to put harddup at the end of the filer chain, I've tried that; all it did was cause weird graphical glitch of a band of rectangles containing some video on the right side of the screen, as well as ignoring the expand filter. And it didn't even fix the A/V sync. To be specific, the audio is considerably behind the video e. g. by the time the video ends, audio is still playing from long before the ending credits from an earlier scene, and cuts off as the file ends.
On a side note, framerate conversion with ffmpeg (which, if I understand correctly, mencoder/mplayer is based on), with -r 30 works. But for some reason I find a quality difference (even when using libxvid directly as a -vcodec) and, on top of that, cropping fails with "Vertical crop dimensions are outside the range of the original image." (which they weren't). Argh, I don't think I've every googlesearched this hard only to not get an answer!
Why am I trying to do this? I am converting these videos for playback on my Samsung P2, whose video format requirements are pretty strict (scroll down to video).
And just as a side question, if that if all figured out, I'm trying to make sense of multi-pass encoding. Anyone have some howto to point me to? Any tips on multipass/framerate encoding? And please, don't tell me to RTFM. Mplayer/Mencoder's man page is 300kb uncompressed in itself. I have already tried to made sense of this large document and it has failed to give me an answer (it is a good resource for xvidencopts and the like, but not so much a good guide for mplayer/mencoder.

Before my ATV I used a Rapsody N35 media play with a 400GB disk and converted all my DVD's to Xvid using avi.net on Windows.
I'm now converting some of these movies to ATV (h.264) format using visualhub, it cost £12.95 and does a great job. I tried a few free or open source converters but settled on visualhub because of ease of use and quality of conversion. I also want a Mac OS application.

Do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
You can skip the step to create a new profile, that is not necessary for this issue.

Hi, I am wondering why my iphone won't send pictures through messages, I have MMS on and I have tried sending it with 3G on aswell and still doesn't work. Someone please help me :)

Hey lozza567,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues sending MMS messages. The following resource may provide a solution:
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2755
Issues with sending and receiving MMS
You will need these to send and receive MMS:
- An iPhone 3G or later.
- iOS 3.1 or later.
- A cellular data connection. MMS isn't available if you are using only Wi-Fi.
- A domestic MMS plan from your cellular provider. You may need an international messaging plan to send MMS to an international contact. Contact your carrier for more information.
- A roaming MMS when using a cellular provider's network different from your billing cellular provider's network. Learn more about roaming and contact your carrier for more information.
To resolve issues with sending and receiving MMS, follow these steps first
1. Go to Settings and turn airplane mode off.
2. Go to Settings > Messages and turn MMS Messaging on.
3. Go to Settings > Cellular and turn Cellular Data on.
4. Go to Settings > Cellular and turn Data Roaming on if you are roaming on a cellular provider network different from your billing provider's network.
5. Verify that you have a cellular data connection in the status bar at the top left of your iPhone.
6. Go to Settings and turn Wi-Fi off. Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify that you have a data connection. Turn Wi-Fi back on to continue using Wi-Fi for other features. If your cellular data connection isn't available, follow these steps.
7. Verify that you can send and receive SMS. If you are unable to send and receive SMS, see the "Issues with sending and receiving SMS" section, above.
8. MMS may not be available while on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn more about which network your phone supports.
9. Restart your iPhone.
10. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
11. Reseat your SIM card.
If you are still unable to send or receive MMS, follow these steps
1. Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
2. Go to Settings > Messages and turn on group messaging if you are sending a group message.
3. Make sure that you are using the area code with the contact's phone number. When sending messages internationally, you also need the contact's international code.
4. Verify a "Pay as you go" MMS plan has enough available balance. Contact your carrier if unsure of your MMS plan or available balance.
5. If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
6. If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and re-create the contact from the Contacts application. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
7. Back up and restore your iPhone as new.
8. If your carrier has recently ported your phone number, the porting process may not be complete. Contact your carrier to confirm that the porting process is complete.
9. Contact your carrier to verify that you are provisioned to send SMS and are in an area with cellular coverage.
10. Contact your carrier to verify that there are no blocks or filters placed on your wireless account preventing you from sending SMS.
11. Your carrier may require APN settings to be modified to use MMS. Learn more about when you should adjust APN settings.
Thanks,
Matt M.

My Friend used my pc while it was on, and cheked his Facebook account, now my pc remembers his log in information including his password. I'm trying to register with Facebook, but my pc remembers his info. I'm trying to delete this mistake. Can you help?

A friend used my pc to check his Facebook account, and used my account. Now, my pc thinks I am he whenever I try to register with Facebook. I didn't catch the mistake until recently and have been trying to delete the info but cannot. I tried to access all of my security settings and even tried to erase the history but I don't seem to be getting anywhere. I believe he mistakenly commanded my pc to remember his username and password. I am not currently registered with Facebook, but would like to be but I am having this problem. Is it significant or not? I don't want his info crossing with mine because of my ips numbers or something like that. He also, without my knowledge, accessed his e-mail, too. His username seems to pop up even if I try to "Like" something on Facebook. This is when I noticed the problem. Then, when I tried to Register with Facebook, I was mistaken for him. The registration boxes come already filled in with his info. I do NOT want to invade his privacy. His entire profile comes up complete with friends, pictures, etc...Please help! I cannot make a 'save' disk since I don't know exactly when this happened and I've loaded new programs, including security and related files.

I am very happy to report that my server connection tech, which I called via landline, informed me to : 1. Open Tools 2. Scan down to Clear Recent History 3. Delete All. That was it! Unbelievable! Six hours of searching through the Windows catagories. I checked the results on an internet site, and viola! It was gone! Mozilla Firefox seems to remember the usernames and passwords irregardless of the option window that asks if you if want it to remember the user and password. I finally got in touch with my friend and he said he did not answer yes to the window, even though he was aware of it. No damage. I surely do appreciate everyones' concern in this, now what seems to be, a very simple solution. Cudos to Firefox! Thank-you! P.S. I now have to enter my information at the beginning of any password protected sites...no harm done! My friend is now condemned to the 'user account' site! lol...

Problems setting up my TC. Have just bought new iMac(OS 10.6.8) and TC. I tried to set it up. iMac cannot find it. I have tried direct connection with an ethernet cable to Mac or direct to my wireless router but nothing. Just a flashing orange light. Help for a simpleton please. Have tried reseting TC, but to no avail.

Just updated from 10.6.7 ---> 10.6.8 and had the same issue. Despite having done a clean install from 10.6 and got everything back off my TC, now Time Machine can't find it!
Green light is on, ethernet cable conected, network CP says its conected but nothing. Airport Utility can't find it. Hit reset button, Orange flashing light but still no show in Airport Utility.
But I know its there, as rebooting from 10.6 SL disk shows the backups are still ok?
Hmm, ideas anyone?

When trying to work with Agilent 34401A multimeter (serial RS-232 connection), HP34401A Getting Started.vi gives always the message: "Error 1073807369 occurred at Old VISA Open ".

Baud rate and parity are set correctly, RS-232 cable is also connected correctly. My QuickBasic program has no problems to read and write to the Multimeter. It is obviously a software problem: the same error is persistent if I disconnect RS-232 cable.
I downloaded NI-VISA 2.6 for Windows 95/98/NT/ME/2000/XP frorm digital.ni.com and installed it. But it did not help.
Thank you in advance
Best regards

I have just purchased a 5S iphone, when I tried to sync with my Imac it comes up with "...requires iTunes version 11.1 or later.." my iTunes version is 10.6.3, I rechecked software updates but says there is no updates required. help

I have just purchased a 5S iphone, when I tried to sync with my Imac it comes up with "...requires iTunes version 11.1 or later.." my iTunes version is 10.6.3, I rechecked software updates but says there is no updates required??? I checked when last auto update was done which was 01/07/12 I also tried downloading from web iTunes version 11.1.5 but it wont load because I don't have min version 10.6.8. What can I do to sort this out? Note: I am a not computer savy so be easy on me.

If your computer is running an OS X prior to Snow Leopard 10.6,
the answer (if it is an Intel-based Mac; not old PowerPC model)
would be to buy the retail Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD from Apple
for about $20, and install it. Then update that to 10.6.8 by using
the installed Snow Leopard online to get Combo Update v1.1 for
Snow Leopard 10.6.8. After that is installed & updated, run the
system's Software Update again, to see what else is available to
that system.
Later systems can then be looked into at Mac App Store, once
the computer is running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
And if your computer is a Power PC (G4/G5, etc) and has no
Core2Duo kind of CPU -- See "About this Mac" in apple menu
to disclose the general info about your Mac. Also you can see
even more by clicking on "More Info" when looking in there...
If it isn't an Intel-based Mac, it can't run a system past 10.5.8.
Hopefully this helps.
Good luck & happy computing!

If you followed these instructions and you were unable to enter recovery mode, I'm still leaning toward a hardware problem. Also, since you have IOS-7, read this. It might help.

A network error occurred while trying to communicate with the server.

Hello All,
I am getting some new error messages when opening the server app on my Mac Mini server running OS X 10.8.2 and Server 2.2.1. First I get a message that says "A network error occurred while trying to communicate with the server." and then after trying to open some of the service panes, I get additional errors that say "Multiple errors occurred on the server while processing commands." The services don't load and I just see "Error Reading Settings" in the server app.
I started to get these errors when I added a new website to the server. All the services are working fine but I cannot access them in the server app.
In console I'm seeing these errors when I try to access various services:
2/24/13 8:02:12.692 PM Server[956]: Error: The server '10.0.1.150' reported an error while processing a command of type: 'readSettings' in plug-in: 'servermgr_dns'.

I have already restarted the server and used terminal to stop and start postgres. Any more thoughts on how to repair this?

Just as I had suspected, the whole GUI crashed because of certificate problems. After two and a half hours with enterprise support, it turns out the com.apple.servermgrd certificate in the server keychain had become corrupt.
We determined this by typing https://127.0.0.1:311 into Safari and we could see all the server modules and interact with them through the web interface. All the services were working properly as well so we knew that it was just the Server.app GUI that simply couldn't read settings that was causing the problem.
So, first we closed the server app. Went into /var/servermgrd and deleted all the files from this folder. Then, in Keychain, deleted the com.apple.servermgrd certificate. Did a search for com.apple.servermgrd in Keychain and deleted everything else that came up for it.
Then restarted the server. Now the server app was able to properly connect to the services in the background and read them properly. This was the jist of the troubleshooting that solved the problem. It also seems like DNS is causing problems because that is the only service that will not read right but is functioning properly in the background.
I will post an update once Apple figures out what is wrong with DNS. Hope this helps anybody else having these problems.

Updated to Indesign CC and Incopy CC = sluggish server for icap & idap trying to open with CS5.5

1. The local editors (PC) cannot open the Incopy assignments from the server, like before. When they have tried this, they get font errors and/or extremely slow open. If the Incopy does open, it takes several minutes to make each change.
In order to bypass this, the designer has to package the Incopy assignment and email to them.
2. The other side of the problem occurs when the editor emails back the package to the designer (Mac). Normally, we have been able to double click the package within the email and it opens into Indesign and updates. Now if we do this, the package tries to open with Indesign CS5.5. I placed my Incopy CS5.5 and Indesign CS5.5 into the trash, but it still tries to open with the old application.
In order to bypass this, the designer has to drag the .idap package to the desktop, attempt to open it, save the files to the computer because of an error message, replace the .icml file and then go back to the original indesign file and hope that it updates with the editors corrections. Another work around has been to drag the .idap package over the Indesign CC app.
Not a really efficient way to use this Indesign/Incopy workflow, I know. Perhaps I'm overlooking an easy solution. Please help.
Thank you, in advance.

Simply try saving with the same name. It will effectively over-write your file as you want. The "[converted]" I find this to be a courtesy to let you know at a glance that you're working on an older version document. As far as the path issue, I can't answer that, as I use a third party program which, with a single keystroke, takes me to the original folder the files resides in. It's called Default Folder, and I've found it indispensable since 1999. Try it, you'll love it. It's from St. Claire Software.
Cheers!

Since updating OS to Mountain Lion from leopard, I get the following error message when trying to backup with time machine on external drive. "Could not complete backup to media share. The network backup disk does not support the required AFP features." What are AFP features and how do I get Time Machine to backup to my current external backup?

This means that your NAS does not support the required encryption. Update your NAS to the latest firmware or ditch it and buy a Time Capsule (they are the most reliable when using TM).
