GOP is too long

when i try to author my mpeg2 video using TMPGEnc DVD author i get this message

a video sequence header is necssary for every GOP in a DVD

the video GOP is too long the GOP has to for a standard DVD it is necessary that the GOP fulfill the following
the GOP has to have MAX fields of 30 (15 frames)
help i don't have a clue what this means

 

That is just telling you your GOP structure is not DVD-Video compliant. Where did these mpegs come from?

I did a search and found that during the encoding process the GOP structure parameters can be set.

TMPGEnc:

Number of I pictures: 1 NTSC, 1 PAL
Number of P pictures: 5 NTSC, 4 PAL
Number of B pictures: 2 NTSC, 2 PAL
Max number of frames: 18 NTSC, 15 PAL

 

it was an AVI to start with but i encoded it with TMPGEnc to make it MPEP2. i got the AVI from overnet. can i encode it agian so i can put it ot DVD or is the file not able to go on DVD. the film is PAL by the way
thx

I would re-encode, making sure your TMPGEnc settings are correct for the GOP structure.

 

where abouts can i change the GOP structure

 

it's OK i found it thanks for the help but for some reason it says that the final output will be over 3 hours but the film is only an 1 hour 20 mins whats up with that

 

I have version 2.521, under Filter setting, select Other setting. This opens MPEG setting, select GOP structure tab.

Do you get an indication of how big the output is in GBs?

 

yes but you'll have to wait cause i'm rencoding it agian

 

i've rencoded it but it still says it over three hours the size is 5993.99MB

 

The next steps would be to run it through TMPGEnc DVD Author and then through a compression program like Shrink. TDA will complain about the size. 4464 MB is the default size that Shrink uses. You movie is only 1530 MB larger than that, so just a moderate amount of compression is needed. I don't know how accurate the time figure you stated is. The size figure is typical for an uncompressed movie though. What is your bitrate?
