I know this has all been anwsered already, And i have read alot on this(seems the more i read the more crazy i got.. So sorry if i shouldnt be posting this.. ok, This is what i did so far, I have a SVCD movie.I opened the file and it has 3 more files, cd1, cd2 and cd3..I open file cd1, I see 56 files in it, about 30 of them are winRAR'ed, The other 20 say they are r30 threw r55 files and the last one is a SFV file.. I extracted the first winrar file on cd1, 2 and 3 and got the bin/cue files.The bin size is 806 MB...Am I doing this the rigth way?? Now i need make the MPEG2?
Ok, I took the bin/cue and used vcdgear to to make a mpeg2 or is this just a mpeg??(i am able to watch it on my comp) If this is a mpeg2 is this where i need to change the audio??
ok, I got it split into one video and one audio useing tmpge. bUT, I cant figger out how to change the audio it from 44100hz to 48000hz useing TMPGE..
This is easy...Run Tmpgenc and Load your Audio file into tmpgenc as the Audio source...Then click "Audio Only" were it says "Stream Type" and then click the "Settings" button and go to "Audio" and set the audio fromat to "Mpeg 1 Layer 2" and select a Bitrate of 384kbs and then select the "48000" setting under "Sample Frequency" , now close the settings and click "Start" and in a Few minutes you will have another Audio file and you just load the Video and the New audio file into DVDLab and make a DVD....Simple??
Simple for you! You have done over 400..Not so simple for me tho, Ifs my first 1 Thanks for you help Minion! Ok! Got the audio set.. Now, I put the video and the audio files in dvdlab's, Got a error message on both files but it let me load the vid and had to do a transcode before the audio would load..Not sure how to merge them together in dvdlab.. Thanks again Minion!
Ok, I'm just messing around here.I hit the compile dvd and get 2 errors..First error, Project is in NTSC but MOVIE1 is PAL..Second error, The menu 'MENU1'has no buttons and infinity timeout..
lol. Well, Somehow i got it put togethere.I ended up with 2 folders AUDIO_TS & VIDEO_TS, One of the folders is empty(AUDIO_TS) the other one(VIDEO_TS) has 8 files, 2 of them i can click on and the movie plays.. I tried to put all 8 files on a dvdr and i cant get it to play on comp(dvd drive) or xbox.. Thinking!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well you are not authoring this movie correctly.. DVDLab is telling you that Firstly you have to go into the Project settings and set the Project to Pal because that is the type of SVCD File you are Putting on to DVD and secondly you haven"t added any Links on the Main Menu, You MUST have at least one Link on the Main menu pointing to the Movie or your DVD will Not work... There are things you have to do when authoring a DVD so that the Movie Plays like a Regular DVD like you should add Chapters to your Movie, and secondly you Must have a main Menu with at least one Link pointing to the Beginning of the Movie.... It is actually Super easy to do once you understand what the File structure of a DVD is like ...
OK..It is simple...There is a Black Menu area at the Top and on the Botton you should see a section labled "Backrounds" ..Find a Backround that you would like to use as a Menu and Drag it Backround area and Drop it on the Black menu area.... Now on the side of the menu you will see a button that you can use to add Text..Click this Button and then click an area of the Menu and then type in the Name of the Movie and click OK...Now you will see what you typed in on the Menu, Now right click the Text and go to "Link" to "Movie 1" to "Movie Start" .. Now you have just added a Link from the Text in the Menu to the Beginning of your Movie so when you Put the DVD in your DVD Player the Main Menu will come up and the Movie Name wll be Highlighted and you will just have to press "Play" on your Remote for the movie to start... If you are Putting 2 movies on the DVD you would add the Name of the second movie to the menu and link that name to "Movie 02"..... I hope you understand some of this?? You should also read the help file that comes with DVDLab because it should be helpfull....
lol! I was messing around and thought i had it, Got no error's everything went fine burn it..Then put it in and all i get is a red box in the middle of the screen i can click on it but the pictures doesnt cames up.. I will fellow what you just posted and see if that will do any better for me.. Thanks alot Minion!!!!!
Ok, Got it!! Thanks alot again Minion.. One more thing. This movie is in 3 parts..I tried to write all 3 parts doing the same steps as i did for the first one..So i made 3 movie's and 3 menu's linked to movie's 1 2 and 3 one menu for each movie compiled them all and burned them to a dvd, All i was able was the first part..The other 2 parts i couldnt get..Am i doing something wrong? Also, Can I merge all 3 parts into 1 full one, Then write it??
What you did wrong is you didn"t put a Link from Menu 1 to Menu 2 and from menu 2 to menu 3 and from menu 3 back to menu 2 and from menu 2 to menu 1...Or you could have just used one Menu with a link going to each Movie ... You have to remember that everything you add to your DVD has to have a Link going to it so if you have 3 and 3 movies menu"s you have to be able to get to them so you have to assign links to the menu"s so you can get to them when watching on your DVD Player.... If the Movie is in 3 Parts you should have Joined all 3 parts into one Part before demuxing the audio and Re-sampleing it to 48000hz... Tmpgenc isn"t very good at joining Mpeg files together so I suggest you try getting ahold of a program called "Mpeg2VCR" and there is a Guide on this site that tells you how to use it to Join files together.....Cheers
I got it..But one thing when i try and burn all 3 parts in dvdlad it stops 3/4's of the way though..Play ok until the 3rd part of the movie..Guess i should try a diffent progam to burn it?
Well you should be Joining the 3 Files together as one Movie and then authoring it as a single Movie... If you have Problems burning useing DVDLab then use Nero or something else.....
Thanks minon! Got it going.. I looked and did a search and couldnt find a guide for useing Mpeg2VCR to join files together.. Ill keep looking and messing around with it..If you know the link Please send it over.. Thanks again for your time and help!!
