I have four large (~800MB) mpeg-2/svcd files that I have some troubles with. I managed to burn them onto a 800MB CD-R at first – by ignoring error messages in Nero – but they did not work on either the computer or my DVD player. Therefore, I want to fix them somehow. The problem is that when I try to do as suggested in this site – de-multiplex and the multiplex in TMPGEnc, the program only fixes a few minutes of the film. No error messages appear, it just stops de-multiplexing after a few Megs. However, the outcome after multiplexing again is good and is recordable/viewable on my DVD but it is only a few minutes long.

Next thing I try to do is to fix the original files with VCDgear using mpeg -> mpeg. The process works fine (so it seems anyway) but when I then try to open it in Nero I get the message: “The video file “xxx” is not Super Video CD compliant. To automatically re-encode the video to Super Video CD format using the Nero… etc”. I then open the “fixed” file in TMPGEnc and try to de-multiplex/multiplex it but get the message: “Illegal MPEG system stream”.

Here I am now and I don’t know how to get any further. How do I get TMPGEnc to de-multiplex the whole film and not only a few minutes? Please help me anyone!
