Xvid to DVD quality MPEG

[primetime33]

Almost every movie that I try to convert from Xvid to Mpeg using TMPGE crashes. IS there a "special" way to convert Xvid that is any different than when converting divx?

Thanks in advance

Hey,

I'm also having troubles converting xvid to mpeg2.. the coding will run for about 24 hours and it will tell for 16 hours it still needs 6 more hours.. so it will keep running but not doing anything.. I checked the avi with virtualdub for bad frames and it said there wheren't any.. i run the file with gspot to see if i got all the codec there and i had.. What am i doing wrong..

hi,

i have also trouble with xvid to mpeg2, it will not play on a standalone,
use virtualdub and tmpgenc, whitout success.

What are your methods for converting ?

When you say it crashes, how ?, what error message ?, in what program ?, are you frameserving ?, using tmpgenc ?, did you extract the audio ?

More information please !!!

what do i use:

tmpgenc 2.510.49.57 Pro
tmpgenc 2.511 evaluation

settings:
http://dvd-hq.info/Calculator.htm is the site i use to determen the settings i need but basic it will be a two pass encoding without the audio.

codec:
XviD-04102002-1 _ALPHA_ Release

i hope this helps.. When i get the coding to mpeg2 do the dvd will play fine but most of the xvid will not encoded for me with tmpgenc.. after running 24 hours i still got no m2v file and the counter of tmpgenc is still telling me there is 6 hours encoding left.. but thats is what is started with..

Try istalling FFDShow, and use it to decode XviD.

ok personally i think XVID movies are easier to convert than DIV3. ok all you do is open a program called AviC(four CC changer) and you open up your XVID.AVI and then you change it to DIVX on both boxes and then you put quit. this takes about 1 second. now you can try that and put it in Tmpeg or CCE and you shouldnt have a problem, but if in case you do use GoldWav to extract the audio and combine the video and audio using VDUB. and then you shoulnt have any problems with syncness or anythign

Wow.. it cant be that easy
it wasn't ..lol.. when testing a playback before converting, all I get is a blank black screen.
