pioneer 434 playback after conversion...

[LoudFarter!]

Hi. I've been using dvd2svcd to convert my svcd's to dvd's. Everything works good. They playback fine on my computer. I've done the process of re-patching the new vob's I make just before I burn them to my dvd+r. The only thing that doesn't work correctly is playback on my standalone Pioneer 434 dvd player. I've tried the "pan and scan" option and it still doesn't fix the problem. The problem is the aspect ratio of the playback. If I use 352 for the header, it looks fat. If I use 720 for the header, it looks skinny. Any suggestions??

Hey,

I hope you mean you're using SVCD2DVD and not DVD2SVCD cause the later will not help you put SVCDs on DVD.

You could try to patch the headers of the vob's DVD2SVCD makes using patcher (see tools section) and not let SVCD2DVD do the patching. maybe you can find a solution then.

Hi.

Yeah I meant SVCD2DVD. Sorry about that. I a little confused. You say use a program called dvd2svcd...?

[yf2001usa]

No you need SVCD2DVD...

[LoudFarter!]

Yeah. I've already tried patching the new VOBs and I still can't get it to work properly. Need help.

with SVCD2DVD or with the header patcher program?

If you did both then your might try authoring your svcds with dvd-lab. let SVCD2DVD create your ES streams and load then in dvd-lab.

Thanks! I'll give DVD-lab a try!
