    Yeah, that is fine.

    Now take the MPEG file that was output from TMPGEnc 2.5 and run it through GSpot and report the results.

    Ta...

    Hmmm...

    That's odd, an MPEG file NORMALLY has both video and audio streams..

    What is the full name (including extension part after the dot) of the output file?

    If that is the file that TMPGEnc 2.5 output for you, then yes...

    I assume the input file was the same with .AVI instead of .MPG

    Can you play the MPEG file in your software DVD application ok?

    Windows Media Player cannot handle MPEG-2 files, hence the error.

    Have you got WinDVD or PowerDVD or some other DVD Player software?

    Such software is a MUST for testing the stages - windows media player is no use for that.

    Hiya Pete,

    DivX players are ok, but he NEEDS to be able to verify DVD-Compliance, and most DivX players will play anything you throw at them (they are too good in this instance).

    [bold]Paracite:[/bold]
    Right then.

    TMPGEnc 2.5 HAS NOT encoded the sound, when you ran the AVI file through the encoder, did it output 2 files?
    An M2V+WAV format?

    umm, dunno how to check that out, but i don't think so. TMPGEnc only output the AVI file to an mpeg file.. that's all.. unless i'm checking wrongly

    Ok,

    Then that means you encoded the MPEG wrong (settings wrong in TMPGEnc 2.5)

    1 - Run TMPGEnc 2.5
    2 - Click LOAD, browse to the Template directory and use DVD (NTSC).mcf (assuming you are using NTSC) OR DVD (PAL).mcf (assuming you are using PAL).
    3 - Browse the video source and load the AVI file, check to see what happens with the audio entry and report back.

    Umm..Mpeg is the Format for DVD, You just now need to author that File to DVD with a DVD authoring Program Like Tmpgenc DVD author(Different from tmpgenc the encoder) All Mpeg files have to be Authored to DVD with a DVD authoring Program it Formats the Mpeg2 files to VOB IFO and Bup files that It then Burns to DVD..Mpeg2 files and Vob files are Basicly the same thing accept Vob files Have Chapter pionts and a Bit different Timecode information which is all for the Benifit of your DVD player...Cheers
