svcd2dvd problem

[baggietony]

Hi, I'm having trouble converting movie files on svcd2dvd, When i try to convert them into the dvd folders ready to burn they are not converting to 4.7GB but are staying at the size of the file when i downloaded it about 700mb and the quality of the movie is not very good,But when I do the same with a movie clip it works perfect,it converts to the size of a dvd and above as I sometimes have to use autofit.
I have checked through my settings but cannot solve this problem.
Thanks in advance.
Tony

mpeg files are not reencoded (unless you are doing a framerate conversion)... so a 700MB mpeg will produce a 700MB DVD (approx). AVI material IS encoded to mpeg2. The size of the DVD is this case is dependent on the length (duration) of the source.

Is your source a mpeg file?

Well download gspot and post the analysis given on both files. Thanks.

file not converting: CODEC mpeg1. NAME -mpeg-1
STATUS CODEC(S)are installed.


file converting: CODEC xvid . NAME xvid v 1.0.2.
STATUS codec(s) are NOT insalled

ok. It is as i expected. Can you also post the logs from both SVCD2DVD runs? (Logs are kept in the 'logs' folder under where you installed SVCD2DVD)

[baggietony]

Sorry not quite getting that do you want me to process the files and give you what the log say's this is log under assets on the main screen of svcd2dvd

[ChrissyBoy]

if you have already processed the files then there should be a log already too.

(Logs are kept in the 'logs' folder under where you installed SVCD2DVD) usually this is in C:\Program Files\BadgerIT\SVCD2DVD v2\logs

Mmm - that is like half a log! Can you "attach" the logs themselves? I will take a look in the morning. Cheers.

[baggietony]

there are too many how many would you like?

[ChrissyBoy]

Well take a look at them (in notepad) and attache the one with the 700MB file that is causing you issues.

[baggietony]

I'm sorry i have scattered all the files all over the place will do two more and send them to you

[ChrissyBoy]

ok. Thanks.
