DiVx to SVCD... plz read

[Taylor]

I want to burn Black Hawk Down to SVCD. It's already on my hard drive in two files. What is an easy way to go about this? Should I merge the two files into one? How would I do that?

I realize I need to use TMPGEnc, but the Source Range and bitrate setting are really getting me confused. Specially because they're 2 DiVx files currently. I want to create a really high quality SVCD, probably 4CDs or what ever it takes.

Read those "How To" guides - links are over on the left.

Well, I did as the guide said but I'm getting errors when I start converting to mpeg.

For instance.... ERROR 11808 11808

What program gave that kind of an error?

Just use DVD2SVCD, guides are all over about it.

Use Virtualdub to extract the audio as a WAV then use resulting WAV as audio source in TMPGE.

The chances are the you won't be able to fit it on 2 cd's (as an SVCD) so you may have to use Virtualdub and use Append function which will join them back together. You can then encode with TMPGE and use the source range to split it into 3 parts.

TMPGEnc gave me the error. I'm going to take a look at DVD2SVCD in a second, and Virtualdub if that doesn't work.

How do I extract the audio using VirtualDub? When I open the video file it says:



Where do I go from here?

[Baldrick]

click OK

and then TRY read some guides...

when you get the message and hit ok. Click file and then (i think - not in front of the app right now) and click on process audio. That should extract the audio to a separate wav file. Then you can use TMPGENC to encode to SVCD (although, depending upon the source divx file fps, res, etc.), you may want VCD as SVCD may look like crap.

[Taylor]

Well it worked. I made the wav file and used TMPGENC to encode the SVCD.

Only thing is the audio sounds like crap now. Their voices all sound weird now. I listened to just the wav file that I made with VirtualDub and it sounds fine. It got messed up when I encoded the SVCD.

What now

[Taylor]

DOH... nevermind

It was just the audio configuration I had setup in PowerDVD. Everything works great

Thanks
