TMPG: [De]multiplex vs. Simple [De]multiplex

[Frankie G]

The MPEG Tools section of TMPGenc has both Simple Multiplex/Demultiplex
and Just Plain Multiplex/Demultiplex. What are the
differences between these and when would one want one rather
than the other?

Thanks...

I've not used them myself but I believe the Multiplex function allows you to multiplex several streams (not just one video/one audio of the Basic Multiplex). Similarly the deMux allows you to choose which streams of the MPG file you want to demux. The Basic Demux just provides one audio/one video stream.
