How to use AVERDVD high quality mpg

[debit]

I used my new AverDVD EZMaker card to make a high quality mpg from my analog video camera. The mpg file plays great with windows media player. I would like to take this mpg file that is 720 X 480 mpeg-2 VBR, 5Mbps, and make a SVCD. I tried splitting the audio and video into two files with TMPG and then encoding to SVCD but TMPG does not accept the .m2v video file as an supported input (says cannot open or unsupported). Anyone know how to convert this file to a SVCD to play in my DVD Player? It should be much smaller since the file I have is only 40 minutes but it is 1.7GB.

I'm not to sure but I think this might work. make a copy of the mpg file just incase it messes up. once you've made the copy change to ending from .m2v to .mpv. then try to load it in TMPG. Again not sure if this will work since I havent used TMPG in ages.

I managed to solve my problem. Apparently the most recent versions of TMPGenc do not support MPEG2 as a source. In the links section of this forum there is a plugin (m2v_vfp-6.17) to add MPEG2 support. I installed the plugin and TMPGenc is able to encode the file into SVCD. The captured file from my analog camcoder looks great.
