Try running the commands individually to see which part is failing.

png2yuv -n 125 -v0 -I p -f 25 -j '.../work/details-1.png' | mpeg2enc -b 
5000 -a 3 -v 1 -f 8 -o '.../work/temp.m2v'

After this you should have a temp.m2v file.

mplex -f 8 -v 1 -o '.../work/temp.mpg' '.../work/temp.m2v 
/usr/share/mythtv/mytharchive/music/silence.mp2'

After this you should have a temp.mpg file.

spumux -m dvd -s 0 '.../work/detailsspumux-1.xml' < '.../work/temp.mpg' 
 > '.../work/details-1.mpg'

After this you should have the final details-1.mpg file

Replace ... with the proper path for your setup. Change -n 125 to -n 150 
and -f 25 to -f 29.97 in the first command if you are using ntsc.
