conversion with Ulead dvd movie factory

[damagedjustice1]

I have an file that is .mpg at 796 megs. Its bitrate is too high for my dvd player and keeps freezing. Ulead DVD Movie Factory says it is not the right format for svcd or vcd when I try to author menus. I decided to convert it to svcd per it has the right bitrate. but it makes the file to big for a disc. What can I do? I don't know what other info would be helpful so please ask if you need more.

Thanks

Was curious....what program did you use to format your mpeg?

[damagedjustice1]

I didn't. It was given to me

[smokylinx]

Sorry....I meant which program did you use to convert to svcd?

[damagedjustice1]

nero

I've had problems with Nero myself. Are you familiar with TMPEG program? If not, I've got just the place for you to discover how to learn more!!!

[damagedjustice1]

for some reason, it won't run on my machine. When ever I choose the source file it gets a windows error. Also, all my others burned with nero are fine

TMPGEnc USED to work but for some reason won't now I even dl'ed the latest version

It's possible that the mpg you had gotten elsewhere is corrupt, or needs a change. The only solution I may have for you is to try VCD Gear. Here you will find the capabilities to convert an mpeg to a mpeg compliant format.

BTW....the place I was referring to is www.svcd.cc great wealth of info, not to knock this sit, but I've learned a great deal from there as well.
