Can you convert divx to + r media i am using tmpgenc and it doesn't give you the choice of + r any help would be appreciated. And if you know the steps on how to do this.. Thanks CJK
you need to encode the divx to mpeg in dvd format. When you burn a dvd, it always has to be in dvd format, be it -r/+r/-rw/+rw/ram. tmpgenc doesn't care what kind of disc you burn it to.
There is a problem with DivX --> MPEG2. More often than not, I've found that the audio gets out of sync somewhere between conversion, and burning. It can be fixed if you just really have to convert that DivX to DVD, but it's a real headache.
If the original file was recorded at higher resolution and audio rates (44 Kk hz or better) _AND_ the DivX encoding rate was 2500 or above; TMPGEnc will convert the DivX file to a .m2v and a .wav file. Then use TMPGEncDVD Author to make the .VOB, .IFO, and .BUP files that you'll need for the DVD burning. TMPGEnc will burn DVD's for you after it makes the above file if you so choose. I prefer using Nero 6 to do the final burn as it will also verify if you ask it to. Since I got my Sony DVD burner about a month ago, I've used the above procedure to convert quite a number of my stored DivX files to DVD with excellent sucess using the above procedure. BUT, if your DivX files were recorded at low resolutions, you might as well forget it as the end result (DVD) will be poor. I've found that if you capture a movie at 15 mbs and 44100 Khz; then compress using Virtualdub/DivX with the encoding rate at 3000 kbps, you'll wind up with an excellent DVD. The TMPGEnc programs will do the critical work for you - and the sound will remain perfectly in sync. I need to add: capture the raw movie _ONLY_ in mpeg1 form _NOT_ mpeg2 form!!!!!
