Philips DVD701 Question...

[M7D7G7]

hello...i got a movie and it's a bin/cue file. (it's a SVCD) so i burned it to a CD and tryed it in my DVD player, it worked, but it's encoded to PAL because it screen jumps all the time. and i was wondering if there was a way you can switch back and forth between NTSC and PAL?

--thanks alot

Not sure what generation it is but w/ my Philips DVD711, which plays anything under 3200 kbps, there is no setting for NTSC>PAL or vice versa. And i've gone through the settings exhaustively. Even had to send it to the repair shop after it got stuck in 16:9 and squished everything together. Also, TVs made for the US are also constrained by a NTSC standard.

Unfortunately the only thing you can do is extract the MPEG from the bin file (or VCD) and reencode for NTSC.

Someone else might know another trick, but this is the only thing that has worked for me.

what program do you use to convert the MPEG2 video to NTSC?

[abularkin]

Just load up the Mpeg2 into TMPGEnc as if it were an avi and choose the NTSCfilm template. If you demux the mp2 from the m2v first, and choose video only, encoding just the m2v should shave a good amount of time off of the encoding. I think they have some mpeg2 codecs in the tools section of this site if TMPGEnc doesn't recognize your file. Then, you just remux the new NTSC m2v to the old mp2 and you have a US playable SVCD.

To be honest though, I just now thought of the demux trick to save time while writing this post. You might want to scan to the end of cd 1 and scan through cd2 to check for out of sync A/V. If this does happen, reencode the audio by itself using the same SVCD template that you used for the video. Audio's a lot quicker to encode than video, though. But if all that makes you a bit nervous (not sure how new you are), just do the first sentence.
"Just load up the Mpeg2 into TMPGEnc as if it were an avi and choose the NTSCfilm template."

Didn't mean to rant for so long.




Jeez what a tower of babble

thanks for the great help! i'm probably just going to do the whole thing just as one but i downloaded the MPEG2 Codec from the tools page and when to install it but it said that it was already installed. so i went to TMPGEnc and tried to load the file but it gave me that same exact error. this is the only thing thats holding me back...have any idea what might be wrong??

ive got a phillips 711 and if you hold the STOP and FF button >> and then turn it on...you see PAL or NTSC...release and press the >> button within 3 seconds to change...
mine will change from the normal blue panasonic screen to black and white (pal) my TV obviously wont play PAL stuff..
so i had to reecode spiderman...
do any of you have the movie stop after every few minutes, then resume normal?

You might to demux the .mp2 from the mpeg w/ TMPGEnc tools, then select as audio source. It should load, but if it doesn't, you might have to start looking for some other audio encoder.

y should i do it that way? demux the mp3??
