Rip SVCD

[teamhawaii]

Is there a way to cleanly rip the MPEG2 file from a SVCD?

What about copying the MPEG-2 file to your HD? Is that clear enough for you?

I tried that, but the file doesnt play... dont you have to do something to the file?

[_burner_]

in which player do you have this problems ?

i guess it is windows media player!

check the Tools page in vcdhelp and download the svcd codec

I have MPEG2 files that I use just before I burn an SVCD and they play just fine in WMP.. but when I try to take a file from an SVCD it doesnt work.

I have Power DVD installed so I shouldnt need the codec..

Try downloading the newest version of VCDgear. After extracting the MPEG-2 file to your harddrive run it through the error correction fucntion. Maybe there is something wrong with the file?

Thanks.. VCDGear did the trick.. odd.. it said something about a Pack error.

The video was encoded in TMPGEnc and then burnt to SVCD using Nero, so who knows what happened to the MPG file..

Hi

I have a simialar problem.

When ripping a DVD and then converting to SVCD and splitting I can play the MPEG file on the PC but as soon as I burn it to the disc it becomes unplayable on the PC BUT will play on my standalone DVD player?

If I try to copy the MPEG 2 file back from the CD I get ' illegal dos function' or something. If I try and play it in Power DVD it get a not suported format.

Any ideas?

The problem that you are having is that all MPEG2 files are reformatted when they are burned on to a SVCD. It is still a MPEG2 but not recognized as such by Windows Media Player.

To fix it you need to do a simple multiplex with the SVCD file as the video and audio source. The output will be a MPEG2 formatted for your PC.
