[movie freak]

[Baldrick]

Won't go on? Any error msg in tmpgenc dvd author or?
Are the vcds ntsc,ntscfilm or pal? or mixed?

Are your vcd mpegs dvd complient(48khz). If not then encode them all in tmpge then fo to dvd author and author all of them puppies.

i think the vcd mpgs are mixed. how do i encode with tmpg using the wizard to change it to pal and 48khz, i think i can do it without the wizard by using the unlock feature in load... but how do i batch encode by not using the wizard..., thanks in advance

Stop that, it's rude.

Take the effort that's already been put forth and read the guides on putting VCD's onto a DVDR.

1) You need to evaluate your VCDs to see which ones need the video re-encoded.
2) You need to convert the Audio to 48 Khz. This is generally a seperate step since it goes very quickly and really isn't related to TMPGEnc which is primarily a video encoder.
3) You need to Author the DVD.

I would strongly suggest you read up on a general TMPGEnc guide. I'd also get a copy of GSPOT to verify what you have in the way of MPEGs. And lastly, read up on DVD Standards so you know what is and isn't a valid PAL resolution/bitrate/MPEG type.

I wrote a guide at lordsmurf.com on how to dump VCD to a true authored DVD.

You can also use InterVideo WinDVD Creator 2 Plus or Platinum to convert your the files to DVD compliant files and then use Tmpg DVD Author.

InterVideo WinDVD Creator 2 ... has the option ... after draging them down to the story board section ... to convert them to DVD compliant mpg-2 files ... AC-3 audio is also included as an option.

PM message me if you have any questions.
