Hi all, i have just started converting a load of dvd's and got a few errors. error1: when dvd > ratdvd the singing kettle, it tells me it can not convert mpeg1 file strange as they are all the original vobs on the DVD. error2: i dvd > ratdvd sooty and came out @ 700mb then ratdvd > dvd to 3.5gig the dvd plays fine but when i try to play the .ratdvd in MP10 it is black and white and also has 2 smaller windows in the main window displaying the same screen. any ideas???? apart from that it is superb, just hope that one day i can play it on my KISS box.
For error1: it is possible to have a DVD that uses mpeg1 video, it is in the spec for DVD. A friend of mine has a Russian DVD which is mpeg1. It does play on his DVD player fine. Apparently ratDVD can't handle this though. But mpeg1 DVDs are probably pretty rare.
thanx, for that. i ghave tried another machine with MP10 and it works fine i thibk my media player myust be a bit screwed up so will re ibstall it.
It's fairly uncommon, but I've been burning stuff as (vcd)DVD for a goat's age now, as I get 8 hours per DVD this way. Just feed your VCD mpegs to TMPG-DVDAuthor, let it grunt away for a while re-encoding the audio, burn, and play. This format even works on DVD players which wouldn't otherwise touch MPEG1/VCDs. Interesting to know that theese discs (which meet DVD standard) are not in tune with RatDVD's version of the DVD specs. Maybe in a later revision of the software, eh?
