hi there, i have two quetions
1)
i am using DVDSanta to convert my (S)VCD to dvd, using this link

i followed all instructions however the dvd is recorded but does not play on my dvd player(LG).

2) how can i add, more movies to my alredy created movies folder(DVD format), using DVDSanta, or any other tool(may be free one)

Regards,

DVD Santa is not great software.

If you don't need menus, DVD Shrink in reauthor mode can bring together parts from different discs.

If you do want menus, Tmpgenc DVD author and it's Add Video function might suit you.

Both of these require DVD compliant output to start with. SVCD is not VD compliant.

DVD Lab will allow you to create an out of spec DVD using SVCD source without re-encoding, however it may not play on all players because it isn't strictly a DVD.

guns1inger thanks, for quick reply & suggestion.
but rather it become confusing for me(which to user or not).
Could you please tell me the procedure, tool, guide for at least 99% success of conversion.

Thanks.

If you want simple, ConvertXtoDVD.

If you want quality then you need to start reading guides on avisynth, encoding, and authoring. I believe the following is a good starting point

Video : FitCD -> Avisynth -> ProCoder Express - mpeg2
Audio : Virtualdubmod -> wav -> ffmpgegui -> ac3
Author : DVD lab Pro is my choice, but GUIforDVDAuthor will do what you need.
