My Brother has gave a date cd with a film in SVCD format which obviously can play on my PowerDVD. However recently i have purchased a DVD writer (pioneer 105) and was wanting to conver this SVCD to DVD format to play on a standard PAL DVD player (for my children). As i am new to SVCD and yes i am an old man i am asking if anyone out there if they know how to do this process? and what software i need to do this. I do have TMPGEnc and the author but confused wether this can be possible. Also the resolution of this film is 480 by something which i know is already wrong Thanks. P.S BC_HYDRO i know how you feel this is giving me a headache as well
Before you go to far you should make sure your dvd player will play dvd-r's, you can check this out at the following link http://www.dvdrhelp.com/dvdplayers.php?DVDname=Toshiba+SD-V280+&Submit=Search&Search=Search Also it is quite possible your machine will play svcd, which would mean all you would have to do is burn the svcd to disk and you could watch it like that.
Well it does play dvd-r's but wether it plays SVCD or not i STILL would like to convert it to VOB for to play on a Standard DVD player. Or is there a way to encode this into a avi file for TMPGEnc to convert it that way?
Yeah i tried that but the Author replies to me saying wrong resolution to play on a standard dvd player!
Your gonna need to put in TMPGenc plus and put resolution at 720x480 IF you use the wizard in dvd it will work it all out if you dont want to do that i think there are some other authoring programs that dont give a damn what format you put in it and it will convert. Try dvd architect
What format am i using on the first screen of the wizard in TMPGEnc cause i get a feeling whatever i choose it's going to produce an error or unsupported format Do i not have to use MPEG tools or something inside TMPGEnc?
Heres a guide that may work you, its worth a shot, just follow this link http://www.dvdrhelp.com/svcddvdr.htm If this doesnt work just let me know Good luck Ibonic
Have you tried TMPGEnc DVD Author?? The only problem is SVCD framesizes are not standard for DVD (sorry if TMPGEnc DVD Author was already selected, just decided to give an input in stead of spend loads of time reading!!)
Hehe np's Dela well i have given up on SVCD now and as i am still new i have managed to convert an avi to dvd and burnt. However the audio on the dvd is totally out of sync and do you know a way or have i missed an option in TMPGEnc to fix this. Selected video source, streamed out audio from mpg and used that as wav as audio source converted and then multiplexed and then used author. I read somewhere about a Use WSOLA.exe which is a command line if so and if this works how do i use it?
No i havent but i found out that i may have to use Virtual Dub to do this and from that select that as the audio inside TMPGEnc and create the mpg and then Author? Cause i read that TMPGEnc sometimes has problems in encoding certain audio streams from avi's/divx avi's. So by using Virtual Dub this should create the correct audio from the avi and will be the same size as teh video?
