Hi there, newbie here, I've managed to successfully create a DVD using a couple of SVCD files and VCDGear and DVDLAB & they are fine, but I now have a new problem - I've used VCDGear to rip the mpegs out of some new bin/cue files and then DVD Lab to demux the files into video & audio files but, at the end of the process, I only have the video file and I keep getting the message - "bad header or unknown error, this file doesn't seem to be MPEG audio, check it's not a wrongly named ac3..." for the audio stream - does anyone have the slightest idea what I'm doing wrong as it worked a treat with the first couple of SVCDs I used, but nothing since, despite trying several different bin/cue files ? Am I in the realms of having to use TMPG to create the audio stream & then import that into DVD Lab & if so, which TMPG package do I need to get ? cheers everyone mike
Well try useing the Tmpgenc "Mpeg Tools" to De-Multiplex the audio from the SVCD Mpeg2 file... You got to realize that if backing up SVCD disks to DVD that you will from time to time get a SVCD File that is to badly corrupted to back up to DVD... When Burning SVCD"s sometimes the Files get corrupted from being burned to CD-R because there is no error correction in SVCD"s......
Hi Minion, used TMPGEnc & it works a treat, especially now I've written down all the steps & printed out the various guides. One small question I've got is that on the mediachance site, there are some very good tutorials, including one which tells you how to insert a short clip of the movie in the menu screens. But, when I try and do this & can create the avi file, but when I try & multiplex them so that it works on the DVD, I get a error message which indicates that I can't do it as I need an MPEG2 codec ? - I've downloaded the MPEG2 plug-in from Nero's site, but is this what the system is telling me I need ? cheers Mike
To Use a Small Video Clip as a Menu the Video Clip has to be a DVD Compliant Mpeg2 file or in the case of Putting SVCD"s on DVD the file has to be the same as the source file so you would have to encode the File to SVCD... I use Video clips as menu"s all the Time and it has to be a DVD Compliant Mpeg2 file as the Video clip... Just encode the AVI file that you want to use as a Menu to Mpeg2 useing Tmpgenc or some other encoder and then use the Mpeg2 file as the Menu clip.... _X_X_X_X_X_[small]It"s better to be Pissed Off than Pissed On!!![/small]
