    I am trying to convert a VHS music video (deep purple) to cd. I have it now on my compyuter as an vob file (used Pinnacle moviebox/studio8, and converted the mpg file to vob by MPEG2CUT.
    I am then following the guide "fitting a movie on one cd using TMPGEnc", but do NOT get a waw file when it says I should. Instead I get a file saying "Deep purple MPA T01 delay-367ms.mpa", and when I try to load this in the audio line, the program crashes.
    I have tried to extract the audio also by virtual dub, but the it results in a heavy sync.problem.
    What am I doing wrong??
    Thanks -
    Ps.

    Just load it into Headac3he and convert it to a 44k wav file then load that into TMPGenc.

    forgot to say to fit a DVD movie in best quality on one cdr you should :>

    1. Rip and demux your DVD in one go with DVD decrypter first.

    2. Convert the demuxed audio file mpa/ac3 or whatever with Headac3he to 44k wav with audio booster selected.

    3. Load elementary streams (separate demuxed video and separate converted wav file) file into encoder (personal preference Mainconcept).

    4. Drop mp2 audio bitrate to 96 - joint stereo (wont hear the difference and saves a lot of space).

    5. Use mpeg1 Vbr encoding (pal 352x288) - max 1856kbps (most modern, cheap far east DVD players can handle it OK. Average bitrate (use bitrate calculator) 125min film - 850kbps. Minimum - 0.

    6. Burn with VCDEasy or Nero - max 4x speed - (to be safe - any higher may or may not cause jittery playback problems on DVD player.

    Using this method I have successfully fitted whole movies on one cdr in almost - to my eyes, DVD quality (using Mainconcept encoder takes 1.5hrs average film on my Athlon XP2400.

    Thanks, but reg. Your first answer: WHICH file is it, that I should load, the waw file from virtualdub, or the mpa file from DVD2AVI?
    And reg. Your second aswer: WE are NOT talking DVD here, but as I wrote earlier, it is an MPG file, ripped into the harddisk from my old VHS, via Pinnacle moviebox. This resulting mpg(2) file, have I then edited a bit in MPeg2cut, and therefore have a vob file now.
    But perhaps the procedure is the same as You have described for a dvd?
    Thanks -
    Ps.

    You probably want to make a SVCD
    You need to re-encode your video to 480x480 (or 480x576 for PAL)
    at around 2500 kbps .
    Your audio is mpeg1 layer 2. It probably needs to be resampled
    to 44100 s/s
