Cutting with Tmpegnc plus 2.5

[Diversion]

I'm cutting out comercials from an mpeg2 which has been captured from VHS it's at

4969 600 bps CBR and the sound is 44.1 Khz, resolution is 704x576 PAL.


Which option do I choose in Tmpgenc, Mpeg2 Program VBR or Mpeg2 Super VideoCD VBR? There is no CBR option it seems and does it really matter?

I might add thet I've burned the uncut file to DVD with Nerovision Express as an experiment and it worked, but some other DVD Authoring software claims that my mpeg2 isn't DVD compliant. Thoughts on this also?

the first i don't know

on the second: some author programs need Elementary Streams and tmpgenc creates Program Streams for the svcd files.

I'm afraid I wasn't clear enough. The file has in all cases been captured with a hardware mpeg encoder card, Tmpgenc hasn't been used for any other thing than cutting it in half.

The "raw" mpeg produced by the card could be burnt onto a DVD uncut using Nero Vision Express to add chapters but not by some other Authoring programs which claim the mpeg to be non DVD compliant.
I tried the other programs because Nero sometimes caused the audio to be out of sync on the resulting DVD(it's ok in the original mpeg)

Cutting a large file in half seems to help with the audio issue.

I don't know if it matters or not (never tried). However, MPEG2 Program VBR is what you want when writing to DVDs. MPEG2 Super Video CD VBR (as the name suggests) is for SVCDs (they need a special header). These options just define how the file header gets constructed, and what info is in there.

If you just want to cut the MPEG2
use TMPGenc File->Mpeg Tool->Merge & Cut.
The settings you refer to are for re-encoding
which is lengthy and unnecessary.
