SVCD Centropy Star Wars Episode 2 problems

[grand2515]

I downloaded all three cds from Sharereactor and burned them using Nero, but the cds wouldnt work on my dvd standalone player or on my windows media player. I tried to use isobuster and extract the mpg to watch on the computer which is fine, but I want to watch it on my standalone player. I tried burning again with nero from the extracted file, but that didnt work as well. Any ideas to work these cds???? Do I have to rename the file to a dat and then burn with nero??? Any help will be much appreciated

Hey,

Are they standard SVCD files? You might want to just make sure... I guess I can't really help you because I don't have it.

If it's not a standard, just try to re-encode it and then burn it.
Oh, and by the way what is Sharereactor? And if it's not appropriate for this topic, just email me at popretarded@hotmail.com and I apologize if it's not suitable for this topic.
Thanks

Try using CDRWIN. I find it much more reliable for Bin/cue images than Nero. Look for version 3.8G.

[jledhead]

if you downloaded the bin/cue versions of this file then I would try CDRWin like verified above, because it is what I used.

[grand2515]

I used fireburner once, but that didnt work as well. Do you guys think cdrwin will be any different, I know they are basically the same.

[grand2515]

I tried using CDRWin, but it didnt work. Is my DVD player not useable for SVCD, I think i ran a SVCD off of it but I'm not sure, you can check out my complete details near my replies. But anyways, somebody give me some help with these CDS or how burning cause I'm sure as hell not getting them working.

Ok, I was able to play the cd using PowerDVD, but is that telling me anything?

[jledhead]

how did you play it??? do you just have an mpg file?? or bin/cue and you mounted with daemon tools to watch in powerDVD????

[grand2515]

I burned it with the cue/bin with CDRWin. I was able to play it using PowerDvD, but not on my standalone Pioneer DV-414 DVD Player. No mpeg just the files.

[jledhead]

have you ever played SVCD in your stand alone player???? sounds like it won't play it. take a look

looks like it plays vcd but not svcd

[grand2515]

hey thanks for that info. Well I guess I'm going to have to convert the SVCD disks to VCD can anybody give me a heads up on how to do that?

Before you convert, try fooling your dvd player into playing an SVCD but thinking it's a VCD. Use the tmpeg mpeg tools and multiplex the file to video 1 vcd non standard (or words to that effect). And burn as a non standard vcd. The quality difference over a regular vcd is very noticable.

Just learned this trick myself, and it works great.

RCA said my DVD player would not play CDR's, CDRW's, VCD's, SVCD's or PAL format, AND I HAVE GOT IT TO DO ALL 5, YEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAW!!!!!!!


THANK YOU VCDHELP.COM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[grand2515]

thanks for the tip, ill try it. If anything goes wrong, ill reply back.

[shortyjaay]

I have the same problem here. But i think i know what is going on. Centropy encodes the fil into the PAL format and most dvdplayers and TV's need the NTSC format, so if you can convert the PAL StarWars into an NTSC format i think it might work. I have tried it but cant get the TEmpg encoder to work properly. PLEASE ANYONE HELP ME.

[grand2515]

Alright i have tried the trick and it burned and ran fine, but my sound on the disc is choppy, really choppy with the video doing that as well. I have burned at different speeds and got the same result. Anybody knows what is going on???

[Roadwart]

A friend of mine had a choppy playback problem. Turned out his DVD player didn`t like Non std VCD bitrates. Not tried it for SVCD but maybe its a related problem

[grand2515]

So would anybody know what the problem is and how to fix it??
