I got a problem with sfd files.

What I wanna do is to de-mux a sfd file into its audio and video files, change the audio and leave the video unchanged. Then make a new sfd file with the new audio and the untouched video.

I de-mux the sfd with "cube media player 2" and i have several options in deciding what kind of output I want, so i just choose an MPG and the WAV.

Then I alter the wav file and i wont change the sample rate or the bitrate.

Now I've got both my video and my new audio file. For multiplexing these two, I use "Sega Dreamcast Movie Creator" with it's multiplexer version of 1.07. The output I get from it, is an SFD file with strange audio specifications :
Frequecy: 469963268
Channels: 1 (thou i had a stereo file for MUXing)
Rate: 939926536
!!
and it wont be played it cube media player any more, with an error saying "Create Buffer Failed". What have i done wrong?

I would appretiate any help

I use Mpeg-Vcr to demultiplex my *.sfd , When you demultiplex it with this program it extract it to a *.m1v and an audio file with the bad extension, you must change it to *.sfa .

Then I downsample my video with Mpeg encoder from panasonic.

Then if I want to downsample my audio I get myself a winamp plugin named in_cube.dll ( http://c9.servage.net/~sc19031-ZCPG/in_cube.html )
Then you open your song with winamp, an choose preference then output and you choose the out_disc.dll and configured it
Now play the song, it gonna be converted to a wav.

Now it's a wav file


Sega movie creator can't multiplex a video file with a mp3,wma,or a file with the wrong extension. so if your file was a sfa or adx ( same thing for sfa or adx) and that the filename was wav because of the demultiplexer, then SEGA MC was all f*cked up !! You MUST put a sfa\adx file with the sfa\adx extension OR a plain WAV file but a REAL one, not only the *.wav Extension...

I hope it'll be of use !!

thnx, that worked, but it still has that strange sample rate and the rest, but as i burnt it, i found out that it works fine with the station and it's probably Cube Media's case that it cant find out the right specifications. anyways, thnx for the reply.
