I currently use Sonic MyDVD as my DVD and VCD burning program. I know VCDs can have menus because Sonic does it. But there is a problem. I like to encode movies myself. I use TMPGEnc and Virtual(Dub/DubMod/Dub-MPEG2) mostly. I have ways of making certain sizes and types of MPEG videos with TMPGEnc and I know they are (S)VCD complaint because other programs will burn them and they will play on my standalone-DVD players. The thing is, MyDVD always wants to rencode the videos. Is there a program or programs to make (S)VCD menus without forcing you to rencode your videos? Also, does anyone know why MyDVD would just keep on writing 16:9 movies even though the original movies are 4:3?
i would suggest nero... but i guess it's the same problem... like when i would convert a movie to vcd with say.... winavi... or some converter program like that... my nero would still want to encode. the video.. which makes it too big of a file size to fit onto a cdr! .. is that kind of like whut your saying???
YES! That is exactly what I am saying. I have a way of encoding with TMPGEnc that makes them much smaller with a quality that I believe is nice and they perfectly will work but MyDVD wants to rencode them everytime.
well i used winavi and it makes an mpeg and i use vcdgear to create a bin/cue file i then used daemon tools to load the cue file onto a virtual drive and use clonecd to read the virtual drive than use it to write to a real disk. lots of extra steps but it gets the job done!
