[b]Cannot Add Mpg Files to NERO Anymore[/b]

[yelloman]

I have had some great success using TMPenc (also dvdtoavi and Smart
ripper) but now when i add finished files nero is telling me that they are
not compatible...not in the right format. I can't see what i have clicked
wrong. Pretty much all settings are left at default and this is upsetting
because now i have to re-encode them (nero offers this option
afterwards).

Oddly enough, nero's telling me that the files are not suitable for (S) VCD
but i created VCD only. Is this program dumb or doesn't it know i created
a vcd (not svcd)? I selected that in the wizard and the film was a pal
movie so everything else seems ok

Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Please help if you can. This is doing my head in!

TIA

Nero can complain alot about non compliant files. Just tell it to ignore and continue and then test in your player.

Well, the funny thing is i did 'bridget jones diary' the other week and altho
it played on my player, it played real weird on another. The video was fine
but the audio was playing about 1 second..then a pause/gap..then another second of crap. All this success and now this. Nero never
complained before so there must be something i'm doing wrong!!

I did try to use forced aspi but that led to other weird stuff.

What settings are the ones you should only change in TMPenc?
Can DVDtoAVI be setup wrong?
Could it be smartripper?

Thanks

If your wanting to make a strictly standard VCD then the only things you would change are motion search & display (4:3 or 16:9). other than that just use the defaults for the VCD template. what settings do you use in dvd2avi? and smartripper shouldnt cause any probs

48 -> 44.1khz (set at mid)

Dolby Surround Downmix Enabled
Sound Decoded to WAV

Thats it really for DVDtoAVI

With TMPenc i just set screen orientation and set
to relevent region (PAL in this case)

BTW, thanks for bothering to reply
