    I have been asked to make an MPEG-1 out of a movie file for “universal” playback. Basically, I need the file to be layable on as many computers as possible, and have been asked to make an MPEG-1. I am trying to make a new preset in Cleaner for this, but have a question that I can’t seem to find the anser to – even in the manual. In the output section of the settings window, I am asked to choose a “Stream Type” – the choices are elementary or system. I need the audio to be muxed together with the video in an MPEG-1. It is my understanding from the DVD world and MPEG-2 that an elementary stream is video only and that a program stream is a .vob – muxed audio and video… but this particular choice escapes me. What should I choose here for highest compatibility? Thanks,

    How to get Multiplexed files when encoding as mpeg-1 or mpeg-2
    Solution

    When encoding with Cleaner as an mpeg-1 or mpeg-2 clip,
    you may end-up with two separate files.

    ex: One Video file ( .mpg ) and one Audio file ( .wav ).

    You may want to have those files multiplexed (this is also known as muxed).

    In order to do so, follow this simple routine.

    1- Go in the advance settings.
    2- Select your mpeg-1 or mpeg-2 setting.
    3- Select the Output tab.

    In mpeg-1: From the Format pull-down menu

    4- Uncheck Video CD Compatible
    5- Then follow step # 6.

    In mgeg-2: From the Format pull-down menu

    4- Change mpeg-2 for any other codec.
    5- Then bring it back to mpeg-2.

    You will see Stream Type.

    6- Choose Elementary if you want separate files

    Or Program / System if you want them Multiplexed.

    Maybe even more important is, did they fix MPEG1s in Cleaner 6.5? I’m not sure, but I doubt it.
    Cleaner did a terrible job of MPEG1.
