I'm not even sure this is possible but hopefully someone will know... I'm using TMPEG to put a couple of MPEG-1 movies onto a DVD to be played in my PS2. If I create it with menus the PS2 won't play it, and I think this is because the menus are MPEG-2 and the movies MPEG-1 (oh, and probably cos the PS2 is a bit crap). So I'm wondering if it's possible to create MPEG-1 menus? or patch up the current ones to get the DVD to work? I can play the movies ok, if I author the disc without any menus, but if possible I'd like to get the menus working. Cheers
Hi, Why is your movie MPEG1? You should encode your movie to MPEG-2 NTSC using TMPGEnc, than use TMPGEnc DVD Author 1.6 to author your movie. Below is a guide you can use. I am not even sure if there are such things as MPEG-1 menu's!? http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/ That is the afterdawn guide page, please look it through until you get to the guide you need. Hope that helps ! Regards, DiRect
you dont need mpeg2's in dvd author,mpeg 1's are also dvd compatible and work just fine .You can put as many as 4 movies on one dvdr(with mpeg1's),if your not looking for dvd quality. I use this method for viewing on smaller tv's,and dvd portables,while traveling.
Thanks for responding. I know I could re-encode the MPEG-1 movies to MPEG-2 and that would solve my problem, but I don't want to. It would take ages on my PC anyway. If MPEG-1 menus are possible I'd like to do that. If not I'll just have to do it without menus. I think I might re-post in the the "DVD-R for advanced users" forum. I suppose it's an advanced topic. Cheers
