Cant play Lord of the Rings SVCD ive downloaded...

[Simps[RG]]

Its a 4CD thingy, took me 2 days to get it on a friend ftp....
When i got all the files, for my surprise, i couldnt play the video...
Ive tryed a lot of mpeg2 codecs, ive tryed powerDVD3, powerDVD4, winDVD2k, winDVD3.1, and again, a lot of codecs... Maybe iam missing something.... Since i have friends that can view this svcd movie...
The file extension is .MPG
This is one segment of the movie (CD3)

And this is the screen i get i try to play the .MPG file

Again, ive tryed the www.vcdhelp.com mpeg2 codec (on the codec download page) and it didnt work...
So plz, if there is anyone here, that know what it could be hapening here, plz, help me out....

well, sorry to say, but the movie is fake. I've tried about 4 different versions and they don't work. I would suggest going on morpheus, and searching for the centropy version

[tww1]

Well every where i have been dont seam to get a good copy either and have gotten two differance BUGS from the file i downloaded not szure if want to try any more.

[Simps[RG]]

LOL @ movie been fake thingy...
Its not fake, and i have other friends that have it working...
And i already have the centropy version... But its VCD only, and i would like to see this SVCD version one....
If some one can help, plz do it....
And dont start with this faking thingy, since i know others with the same problem...

Put the breaks on guys!

there is a DVD2SVCD 4 disk rip out there RIGHT NOW

it's AMAZING QUALITY ...!!!!! I've seen it - it's a god send!

it's a screener!! no joke no lie!

get on USENet.... a.b.vcd .... it's as simple as that

[Stinky]

I think what Simps[RG] is doing wrong is extracting the MPEG from the bin/cue via VCDGear which does NOT do SVCD well - I hear BINBUSTER works good

or just do what we did - use CDRWin ..!!

your mistake I think is VCDGear

[Simps[RG]]

tkx for the post Stinky!!
Yes, its a screener :P
and hey, i think u got it...
Might be the program im using to extract the .mpg file from the .bin to my hdd...
I was using WinImage 6.0...
I will try this proggy u said...
tkx m8, hope its that....

[dumwaldo]

try clicking the link on the left for the tools section of this website and download the codec to play SVCD. let me know if it worked.

BTW to convert bin to mpg use this... http://www.vcdhelp.com/vcdgeargui.htm
its a pretty simple program and i have never had a screw up from using it. dont trust any newer versions though as the program has developed many flaws as it was developed.

[Simps[RG]]

dumwaldo, i did try that...
didnt work...
Im downloading another proggy to extract the .mpg file from the .bin one...
If u guys know any proggy that does that, and that u guys know that can extract svcd files and work nice. plz let me know...
tkx m8s.

[Simps[RG]]

Yes it worked!!!!!
It was the winimage screwing it.....
Ive used the VCDGEAR 3.0..
The video is upside down on the WMP, but its normal on powerdvd and windvd....
Tkx a lot ppl!!!!!
cheers...

it might be a good idea to grab this version of VCDGear as well. in the past i have helped people correct a myriad of problems by offering this program. for some reason anything after version 2.0 seems to have bugs that dont exist in this earlier version. just some things to watch out for with 2.0 versions and higher are cut off begining or end of the video, garbled audio, and video freezes in the mpg. if you ever have any of those problems and you try the earlier version to extract the mpg from the bin it will work. at least thats been my experience.

please please someone tell me exactly what to do, i also got this 4 cd version plus the same problems... but i only got those 4 mpg files, no bin files i could convert to anything, so i need your help guys

cheers

HEY! :-) dumwaldo...

I honestly skipped over your post -- he he he

damn -- I though I did that one -- never visit the forums when your really sleepy

you can have my 'score' on that one!

though I had the right idea - he was having problems extracting his bin - I just ASSUMED it was VCDGear he was using and not WinImage :-)

yea yea yea - never assume....

subtract one for the stinkmeister!

hmmm but what can i do if i have no bins? just the mpeg files?

[Stinky]

you might not have the MPEG-2 codec

those are SVCD files

get it from the tools section or my homepage

use CD burning software to burn them. i use nero, when i open the program it gives me a list of differnt types of cd to burn. i just select Super VCD and drag and drop the file.

if you look over to the left and click where it says AUTHOR right under HOW TO there are a few guides to using a few other programs as well.

its all good man i didnt mean any disrespect i just got a laugh out of it.
