using TMPGEnc for encoding avi to vcd format to be viewd on a dvd player

i have had several problems using nero to convert my avi films as in the useal picture being upside down i was told to try this TPMGEnc thing but there another problem it has audio and video converting and everytime i try it only converts the audio it does no accept any video of the avi file can anyone help me with this please i really want to get my movies onto a vcd sometime in the next millenium

 

Looks like the original AVI-file is actually XviD. If this is the case, downloading and installing XviD-codecs works. I have had that same problem earlier, and this solution worked for me.
You can get the XviD-codecs from here at AfterDawn.com...

 

thanks godfinger i will try to find those codecs but my problem is after i encode it with nero it plays upside down on my dvd player and with TMPGEnc it dosnt pick up video at all so i will try to find this xvid coec and see if it help thanks again dude!

 

it could be divx also

but if the avi PLAYS fine on ur comp, then u already have the required codec to play your avi (whether it be a divx, xvid, etc.)

Are you sure all of your settings in TMPGenc are correct for the vcd mpeg1 format?

for further info, check out www.vcdhelp.com, the have really good tutorials

 

well im not sure if the setting ar right in TPMGEnc im a newbie with all of this and just need a solution but ive tryed so many things

 

read a tutorial on vcdhelp.com

when i burnt my first vcd, vcdhelp.com helped a lot

 

ok man thanks i checked out vcd help it seems to have helped alot i read a tutorial and after it encodes the video now and i see if it all worked out well i will let you know by posting another messege only it will be about 3 hours because thats how long it says it will to encode but thanks again

 

now another question i see the movie here in front of me being encoded in TPMGEnc and its moving in slow frames now that dosnt mean the movie will go that slow after i burn it and watch it riht?

 

No.

 

kool it all worked out fine thanks so much for the help everyone it was nice of you all

 

Can you tell me what was the problem after all?
...because according to my answer, I can't remember...
LOL

 

Do you need to encode an xvid to an mpeg-1 for it to fit onto a dvd-r? (any standard movie)

 

god finger the problem was i hadnt had the correct settings in TMPGEnc so i checked it out at vcd help and solved it

 

golden_35 im not to sure im a newbie to these things but i think that you might have to yes
