PLEASE NEED HELP!!! stuck for few weeks now...

[aznguy]

I'm trying to make a DVD-VCD... I have encoded my video using TMPGEnc ... MPEG-1 352x240 29.97fps CBR 1150kbps, Layer-2 48000Hz 224kbps...

and every author program I used seems to want to reencode it...

I've tried MyDVD and Ulead Workshop v.1.0...

can someone recommend me to a different program???
__________________________________________________ ___________

and one other problem too. I tried the method on rencoding the audio (VCD) to 44100Khz to 48000Khz with TMPGEnc thru the how to guide from vcdhelp... after de-multi something (split video and audio) and then trying to change it to 48000Khz ... it crashes when I try to load the audio file that I splited.


PLEASE HELP!!!

What about using Ifoedit 0.95 ?

[aznguy]

ifoedit for what???

if you can explain in detail that would be great. thx.

Well the original source is either a mpg 1 file or a .dat from a vcd...

can someone please help me...

IFOEDIT0.95 allows for DVD authoring.

So you would need to demux the .DAT file to m2v & m2a

If the VCD is split over two CDs you would also need
to merge these two .dat files

As you want 3 VCD movies on 1 DVD, you would need to
merge all these .dat files to one big 4GB file.
And if they do not have the same bitrate maybe spells trouble.


Right now I'm testing if I should merge the files before
I demux of after.

Two of the first VCD movies I tried the demuxed files are 15minutes
shorter than the source, and even if I vcdgear it to mpg first
I get the same problem.

If you had CVD that are 352x480 it is bigger chance that it will
play on a DVD player as that is a legal size, vcd's are not

Hint: It is NOT worth the trouble of converting VCD to DVD

I'm not trying to reencode to vcd to dvd... just DVD-VCD!!!

thanx for the help guyz... I'll try it.

the only way so far is to reencode the whole thing... video and audio.
then open Ulead Workshop to make DVD.

oh I know what you mean now, well the only reason I want to make dvd is because its a 40 episode series.

Your problem is probably a lack of DVD-VCD support with the software you're trying to use to author it.

Ulead is mentioned as a problem.
