to join 2 svcd files

[jarko]

Hi
I have a question:

If I have 2 SVCD files is there any way I could merge them ?
Thx in advance.

Hi jarko,

One of the following may do the trick:

FileMerger
VideoReDo

There may be others...

What are you trying to do by merging the two SVCD files?

[jarko]

I have dvd/mpeg/vcd/svcd player and I want to put these 2 svcd files on dvd and play them as a one movie file. I know that I can convert to different format and play them on dvd player but I think that it will be too complicated and time consuming

[redwudz]

Sounds like you are talking about a data dvd. Then you can merge the files with the programs mentioned, Filemerger or VideoReDo. (Though I have never tried the second one) This will likely not work on many players. Authoring to DVD format would make the video more standard.

But give it a try. If the player will work with just MPEG files, you may be OK.

If you're doing a Video DVD, there's no point in joining before authoring, as that's done in the authoring stage (using TMPGEnc DVD Author)

If you have 2 SVCDs, then you can use SVCD2DVD. This will create 2 DVD compliant MPGs which you can use in your authoring program.

If the SCVDs are physically on 2 CDs. Then extract them as BIN files or use ISObuster to extract the raw MPGs.

I'm sure there guides on this site for SVCD2DVD

Hope this helps

Guys thx for your advices. I made everything like you said and everything is OK but I have one more problem to solve. I have 2 subtitles files what am I supposed to do to merge and synchronize them so that they run smoothly with this mpeg file which I merge before.

What type are they? What's the file extension: subtitles.???

[jarko]

I have few movie files and different kind of subtitles: sub, txt, (idx?), srt.
Which type is the best and can I change one format to another?

[daamon]

Check out the various subtitle tools in the "Tools" section. Subtitle Workshop might be one worth looking at...

[jarko]

My movie files played on my standalone Mpeg-4, Divx, Svcd, Vcd player (Vsonic L 1030 ) but doesn't matter what format are my subtitle they don't work. When I play Dvd movie of course I see subtitles.
Can someone tell if there is possible to put merge movie file with subtitles to one file ?

[mats.hogberg]

Yes, permanent subs for mpeg1 (VCD), mpeg2 (SVCD or DVD) and AVI
Switchable subs for mpeg2 (SVCD in rare cases - not supported by many players) and DVD

Is there any chance to fix this problem ?

Like I said - for a DVD this is done during the authoring stage, becoming part of the VOB file(s). For "all" other formats they have to be rendered onto the video itself during encoding. Some AVI filters/players can add separate subtitles.

I want to join 2 svcd in one and I want to add subtitles but to make them playeble on my standalone Divx, Mpeg-4, Dvd, Svcd player I have to merge them together. Can someone tell if there is any possible way to merge movie files (svcd) with subtitle files to make it as a one file??
Thx for your response.

I thought we were past this: It's never necessary to join the source material before authoring as DVD. Easiest way to author a "2 source file", 1 movie DVD with subs, is to use DVD-Lab Pro
Create 2 movies. Have movie1 link to movie2, so that movie2 starts playing right after movie1 ends. (It's just one movie, but since it's in 2 parts, DVD-Lab will treat it as 2 movies)
Add the subs (.srt is easiest) for source file 1 to movie1, repeat for movie2.
Done.

Can you tell me how I can make permanent subs for mpeg1 , mpeg2 and AVI
files. what program I can use and where I can find some tutor how to do this ? Sorry, that I bother some much but I really want to know how to solve this problem.
Thx.

[daamon]

Search for "subtitles" in the guides section. I believe there's loads - one (or more) should match what you're after.

files

There's no standardized way to do this, that doesn't involve reencoding the video. In general terms:
Load the source video in a video editor (VirtualDub or AviSynth), add the subs with a filter. For AVI output, encode using VirtualDub, for mpeg output, frameserve to your fav mpeg encoder.
