    I am trying to convert a vcd movie to dvd format to play on my stand alone. first of all Im not familiar with vcd's only svcd;s. I noticedthat the 2hr movie I wanted to convert is only 54 minutes long which is odd to me theentire movie is there but when I try and demux the audio to 48 hrz it only converts half the movie. Im using dvd lab. so basically in vcdform the entire movie is there but it states that it has only 54 minutes run time. when i reencode the audio it only shows half the movie? any ideas?

    Well if it is a standard VCD then it can not be 2 hours Long as the VCD format only supports a Maximum of 80 minutes per 700mb CD-R Disk....

    If this was 2 VCD Disks and you joined the 2 Mpeg files from the Disks into a single File and are only getting half of the Movie showing up in DVDLab then I would think it was from a Improper Join, Many Mpeg Joiners do not Properly rewrite the header when saveing the File so the Time code gets screwed up so software can only read up to the Join.....

    You might also Consider Demuxing and resampleing the audio yourself Manually and then Import the audio and Video into DVDLab and author to DVD and if you did join the 2 files together then try rejoining useing a Good mpeg editor like Womble Mpeg2VCR which can also resample the audio for you and demux the Streams.....

    Good Luck
