So I've converted my avi to an mpg. I was under the impression that all i had to do then was burn that mpg to a dvd and it would work in my dvd player. But it doesn't. So what is it i'm missing?
You need to author the mpg, it create's the proper DVD file structure - Video_ts (folder) VOB,BUP and IFO files, etc,etc. Try something like DVD flick. I'm not sure if it will use your existing mpg and author it without re-encoding. If it doesn't, just feed DVD flick the avi and do the whole thing in there.
Ok, cherrs. The reason i was using tmpgenc is because i'd read around that it was the best out there in terms of making quality dvd's. But if i have to encode the mpg afterwards am i gettting any real benefit as opposed to just sticking to what i've been doing, which was using convertxtodvd.
Some of the tools *will* use your Tmpgenc-created MPG if it is DVD compliant. Give DVD Flick or Convertxtodvd a try. I have a feeling DVD flick will use the mpg without re-encoding, if they're good.
