[Stephenc97]

I use mIRC to download Video files. The Video files are VCD MPEG, I Know how to Con vert them to SVCD and burn them as VCD/SVCD. I recently bought a DVD Writer, first off I ripped and copied a DVD of mine, and it works perfectly, and now I want to DVD the stuff I download as the guides on here are all different, and too complicated, and im new to this stuff, I have upgraded my PC and I have Nero Express and DVD Decrypter and DVD2One, I got told not to donwload TMPGEnd or Ulead DVD Movoe Factory, can anyone help me I really want to make them DVDs!!

Thanks
Steve.

For VCD(s) or mpeg1 to DVD, the best tool is TMPGEnc DVD Author. It is very easy and intuitive to use. It only took 5 minutes for a senior citizen like me to learn it.

[Stephenc97]

Can this convert or does it just burn the DVD File?

Thanks
Steve

TMPGEnc DVD Author is a DVD authoring software. It takes mpeg or DVD VOB file. In your case, you need to rip/convert the .bin or .dat from the VCD first using VCDGear or ISOBuster to mpeg1 file first. Once you have the mpeg file, author the DVD using TMPGEnc DVD Author with the mpeg file. At the end, there is a built-in DVD burning tool which you can use it to burn the DVD.

whoever told you that has cranial-colon imbeddment symdrome.

TMPGEnc DVDAuthor is great for burning VCD > DVD.

VCD is MPG-1 which is compliant for dvd. The part of vcd that isn't compliant is the 44Khz audio.....dvd requires 48Khz audio.

So TDA simply resamples (converts) the audio before burning.

Now, with downloaded VCD's (any nudity?...), there may be other problems with the video; most notably GOP sequence problems, but there are easy and effective fixes for most of those problems.

Do I have to use this trial version of it?

I second the opinion regarding Tmpgenc DVD Author above, epecially xcool who seems pretty knowledgeable for a senior citizen! Tmpgenc DVD Author is more flexible with mpeg1 files than most other programs.

[Stephenc97]

Wicked, I have my file as a VOB, Do I just burn it now?

[Stephenc97]

Ok, I wanted it DVD Quality, this dont look it on my DVD Player.

[Stephenc97]

I didnt want VCD Quality on DVD, How do I get DVD Quality? Is this DVD Quality or what? Dont seem so

[ZippyP.]

Lemme see if I got this right...You have VCD video you want to burn to DVD and you also want to transform it into high quality DVD video. That's like turning lead into gold, let me know when you find the secret. Geeze, it sounds even sillier when I write it down.

is this another april fools?

[Stephenc97]

Nope, you guys aint no help at all.

Thats because what you want to do is impossible. How do you think you are going to change a low quality VCD into a high quality DVD. Making the VCD files DVD compliant does not somehow magically increase the quality of the files.

So how do I get to DVD?

It will still be a DVD, its just that it will only have the image quality of a VCD. If you want the image quality generally associated with DVD (I say this beacause just because something is on DVD does not guarantee a good quality image) you need to start with a DVD source not a VCD source.

You have already been told that you can use TMPGEnc DVD Author to convert and author your VCD files to DVD.

Unfortunately but you can't polish a turd and this what you are trying to do by turning a VCD into a DVD. You can burn VCD onto a DVD by tweaking the audio from 44 to 48 khz, the advantage being you get a few films onto a DVD but without a high quality source you're not gonna get a high quality end product, ever. Garbage in = garbage out. Simple.

On another note, where are you in Wales mate ?
