svcd question

[zak_swan]

i used AVI codec on a mpg i extracted from a svcd and it showed as MPG2 (SVCD DVD)
but a mpg from SVCD is not same as DVD?
dunno little bit confused.
if i joined 2 of these authored them and burned them, i'm led to believe it would not work on standalone that does not play SVCDs.
so why does it show as (SVCD DVD)?

I guess maybe because both SVCD and DVD use MPEG2?

SVCD and DVD uses different resolutions. SVCD is 480x480. This format is not a correct DVD format.

Info on both are to the left under What is.

You can however take an mpg from a SVCD and author it as DVD with some applications (DVD-Lab Pro) with a warning that it's not 100% DVD compatible. many (most) players will in fact have no problem with this.

is this right?
a DVD mpg and a SVCD mpg are both mpg2 but differ in resoulution and audio.
is there an app that tells u if a mpg is DVD compatible or SVCD?

[celtic_druid]

Well if it reports the res then you have some idea.
