URGENThis is T HELP SVCD to SVCD conversion

[dragunov32]

I got this really strange situation. I have this SVCD file that is 720x480 29.97fps, 8234kbs w/ 48khz, 256kbs audio and I can not open it in TMPGenc. I have the full registered edition of TMPEnc 2.59.47.155. Everytime i open the stupid thing, TMPenc gives me a 'can not open, unsupported' error. the video was captured with NeoDVD Mediostream from an AverMedia DVD Ezmaker PCI. This is for a school project, need help bad.

Hello,

720x480 is the NTSC DVD Spec. You need to turn that into 480x480 svcd spec (and svcd audio is 44.1khz).

Here is a list of guides for turning dvd into svcd:

What you have there is a xSVCD.

If it is mpeg 2, then use DVD2avi to open it and then frameserve it to TMPGenc, so to re-encode it to whatever you wish.

If it is mpeg 1, then use virtualdubmod or even virtualdub to open it, and then frameserve to TMPGenc, so to re-encode it to whatever you wish.

The third alternative is to keep it that way and burn it on a DVD-R. With TMPGenc Author and DVD Lab, I don't believe that you gonna have problems to import it (if it is corrupted or has other issues, like GOP stracture for example)

TMPGEnc can't open SVCD/mpeg2 on its own. Try installing PowerDVD - Then TMPGEnc can use the mpeg2 decoder PowerDVD installs, and read mpeg2.

Its DVD, isn't it ? From reading the specs, it can be classed as both ? WTF ?

anyway .....

you need a MPEG-2 decoder installed for TMPGEnc to be able to open it. What end format do you want to end up with ?

If it is on CD multiplexxed as SVCD then it is xSVCD.
If it is a simply mpeg 2 file then it can be DVD.

The multiplexxing is what makes here the difference. But that doesn't affect how to handle this source.

He said "I have this SVCD file that is 720x480 29.97fps...".
That means to me that the source was on CD, so it has to be xSVCD...

Either way, if it is mpeg 2 then he can use dvd2avi to load it and frameserve it to TMPGenc so to encode it to whatever he wish!

That way, installing a mpeg2 decoder ain't neccessary

Thanks for that, Sat - initially I was a bit stumped.

I put cash on it, though, that he got SVCD from the filename title itself
