Non Complient MPEG2 files Need Converting to DVD

[prbatman]

Hi,

I have quite a few single song files that are Mpeg2 and I want to make them into DVD files(VOB.BUP.IFO),but when I load the into TMPGencDVDAuthor I get to the encode to DVD stage and it tells me that the Bitrate is to high in the video.

How do I make these files DVD compatable without loosing any audio quality and loosing only the minimum in video quality.

Thanks In Advance,
Ian

doesn't TDA give you an option to "ignore"? I have chosen that option before in that circumstance without affecting the playability of the resultant dvd

Hi,

It does,but I wondered if there was any way to be sure it would be compatable.

I'll try it that way seeing as it works for you,and hopefully they should work OK.

Thanks,

Unfortunately it creates a DVD file but when trying to play it,it just stutters and goes blocky.

Any Ideas!

First make sure that the stuttering is not caused by cheap media. If you are using them then try something better.

Unfortunately, the only way to change the bitrate is to re-encode.

I've tried using DVD-Lab Pro by Demuplexing the Audio/Video.Leaving the Audio and lowereing the video bitrate.

This seems to be the solution,and very little(If any noticeable quality) is lost.

Is this the best option?

Thanks
