XSVCD to DVD

[blaze]

Hi,

I have searched around but couldnt find anything so here goes;

I have over 60GB of XSVCD files and ive decided to convert them all to put them on DVDr, the only problem is I dont have a clue how

Could someone let me know what software i need and maybe write a detailed tutorial on how to do it (im a complete newbie to converting things)

Here's some info on the files.

File : 750 MB (0.0 B), duration: 0:00:00, type: MPG, 1 audio stream(s), quality: 68 %

Video : 0.0 B, 15000 Kbps, 29.970 fps, 480*480 (16:9), MPG2 = MPEG 2 (SVCD/DVD), Supported

Audio : 0.0 B, 40 Kbps, 22050 Hz, 2 channels, 0x51 = Mpeg-1 audio Layer 2 [0xc0], Supported

Thanks in Advance

Go to the "Guides" section on the left hand side (<-<-<- over there), click on Format Conversion and select SVCD to DVD from the pull down list, click Search or List Guides. Plenty of detailed instructions for doing what you want. You could also try a Forum search for the same subject. If you're having trouble with any of the guides then post back with your questions.

Thanks for the info, so these XSVCD files convert in the same way SVCD files do?

I am having a slight problem:

I am using this guide:

https://www.videohelp.com/forum/userguides/171216.php

i have got to this point where it says change the MPA file to WAV

IMPORTANT: If DVD2AVI generated a WAV file, then rename the WAV file to "AUDIO.WAV" and proceed to the next step. If it generated an MPA file, then convert that file to WAV using BeSweet and name the output from besweet "AUDIO.WAV". Do not worry about the sample rate. Just convert it to WAV. Ensure you call the converted WAV file: AUDIO.WAV

Ive opened BeSweet GUI but im not sure what to do. I followed the wizard guide on it but i get to step 5 and when i click the 'Go' button it says a file isnt there and would i like to make it, when i click yes it opens a blank text file. Could someone shed some light on the whole BeSweet program and how i convert the file.

Thanks

I dont know if ive done that part right that ive said in the other post above, but i just carried on (so the audio.wav file was 0kb) and when i put this script in for AviSynth:

vid=Mpeg2Source("dvd2avi.d2v")
aud=WAVSource(“audio.wav”)
AudioDub(vid,aud)
ResamleAudio(48000)
ConvertToYUY2()

Im getting an error message when i open it up in Windows Media Player, it says:

"There is no function named Mpeg2Source"

so i took the Mpeg2Source out of the scritp and just had it as

vid=("dvd2avi.d2v")

but then it says something about there is no AUDIO file.

So now im stuck and cant figure out what im supposed to do, im still using the tutorial i posted a link to in the above post.

Thanks for your help

Don't know what DVD authoring s/w you're using, but if you're willing to use DVD-Lab, here's a pretty simple guide that's worked flawlessly for me on both SVCDs and XSVCDs.

1. Split the mpg files into their elementary streams using TMPGEnc's demuxer from the 'mpg tools' menu item.

2. Convert the audio files from step 1 to 48K using BeSweet's MP2 -> MP2 option.

Sample BeSweet command line:

"C:\Program Files\BeSweet\BeSweet.exe" -core( -input "g:\My Videos\MyXSVCD.mp2" -output "g:\My Videos\MyXSVCD-New.mp2" -logfilea "C:\Program Files\BeSweet\BeSweet.log" ) -ssrc( --rate 48000 ) -mp2enc( -m s -b 192 -e )

3. Import video files from step 1 and 48k audio files from step 2 into DVDLab. Note that you will get warnings from DVDLab that the "video files are not DVD compliant but may still play in some DVD players". You can safely ignore these warnings as long as you have a player that supports XSVCDs (check with DVDRHelp.com's DVD player compatibility list to see if your player is compatible).

4. Author DVD to taste and compile. Note that when you compile the DVD, you must select the 'Relaxed compliancy' muxing option on the compilation page.

5. Burn, baby, burn.

Further to my previous post, the guide above is more complicated than it needs to be. It just grew out of my own experimenting before I knew a lot about DVD-Lab.

DVD-Lab will actually do all of the above automatically (no need to demux w/ TMPEnc or to do the 48K audio convert with BeSweet).

Just follow this guide:
