[ABAB]

Can I just aska Q aboutb the header trick ( my friends puter won't play SVCD).
Do I import the Mpeg2 into TMPG (Mpeg tools) and select Mpeg 1, then run it to the output file?

Cheers

Now then, I thought I just did the header trick but as a check I re-imported the new file back into TMPG tools/multiplex and the file header still says Mpeg2!!.
I can't check on my DVD player cos' that will play anything....

It's a PLAYER for VCD/SVCD.

Check it out in the TOOLS section on the left of this web page.

doing the header trick won't magically make the file play on a computer. it is meant to be used for dvd players. it sounds like you friend doesn't have an mpeg2 codec installed. you don't need one for mpeg1 but you do for mpeg2.

I'm an idiot!, sorry guys......I meant DVD player.
Apologies joepic and Conquest10, after all my whinning I just tried importing my re- headed file into VCDEasy and it says Mpeg1 so I guess I did it right after all.....

Thanks for your interest, and again I'm sorry........

While I used the "head trick" to play SVCD's on my Sony Changer and they did play on the Sony, noticed that the same "Tricked" SVCDs would not play on my Panasonic Portable, Apex and Raite DVD players. When doing the standard SVCD they played correctly on my Panasonic, Apex and Raite but not on my Sony changer. Lately though have switched over to making DVD's and they play fine on my Pioneer (LD/DVD combo), Panasonic, Apex Changer, Sony Changer and Raite. Prices have come down tremendiously on the Pioneer Burners (saw it for $166 today) and it worthwhile investiment as the firmware has now been upgrade for very fast DVD reads, any brand DVD burning and RPC1. What more can you ask for. Best to use with a P4 though.
