Dear guys, I am newbie so forgive me if this is stupid or common question. I am trying to convert mpg to dvd. I am using tmpgenc author. I select my mpg and the program lets me(gives me specs mpeg-1, 352 x240, 29.97fps, ntsc, 1151kbps.) I then go to the create menu. after naming the video, I click on the video to play it to see if everything is ok. The video skips and then at certain point just freezes. The mpg is perfectly fine when you play in BS player or any other regular player. This only happens when I use Tmpgenc. I converted and burned it anyway hoping it would work but alas the problem came out on the dvd. This has happened a couple of other times with other mpgs. At some point it would just freeze and not play anymore with Tmpgenc author. If you burn it the would obviously be the way it would be on the dvd. It is always the same point in the mpg, not random. Any clue about what is going on. I am pretty unfamilar with encoding and all that stuff but any information would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Sounds like the MPG is crap. Sure, it may play ok with a software player, but that doesn't mean it's kosher. Seen many MPGs that will play ok in some software and not at all with others due to issues with the file itself.
