Gladiator rip encoded wrong??

[thump01]

I analized the mpeg in vcdeasy because it would not burn. This is what it said:

MPEG1, PlayingTime=3524.963s, Bitrate=1411200bps, PtsOffset=0348s, 264390 packets

Video Stream: Motion Video, 480x720, 23.976024fps (FILM), 1150kbps
Audio Stream: Audio Standard MPEG layer2 Stereo, 44100Hz, 229376bps

What does this mean and how do I fix it with SmartRipper, TMPGEnc, DVD2AVI, and VCDEasy?

Thanks,
Tracey

I sure hope that you did not encode this.

It seems that a movie file with NTSC DVD resolution (480x720) and a VCD bitrate ( 1150 kbps) was created.

If you want to burn this "thing" as a VCD, then I suppose that NERO supports this. Just burn a non-standard VCD.

But, the outcome will be a VCD which you most probably cannot play in your standalone player, and if it does then you will have a worse quality.

Just re-encode the file with standard (352x288 or 352x240) VCD resolution.

What you have is an xVCD (720x480) in fact it will play any many/most DVD players but not all. I would add thou that at video=1150kbit/s the quaility won't be that good. Better resolutions would be: 352x240, 352x480 or 480x480.

Now when you say it would not burn. What's the problem? At 3524.963sec = 58.75min -> 587.5MB file so that's ok.

Basically need more info. Can you play the file w/ media player. How did you encode it. etc. etc.

It plays quite well and with a great picture quality in Windows Media player. I created the mpg files with tmpgenc using Pinoy's vcd template
(Pinoy2201s VCD (NTSC) (MPEG-1 352x240 29.97fps CBR 1150kbps, Layer-2 44100Hz 224kbps).

WHen I add the 1st mpg file to vcdeasy, it says that the resolution is not something rather for a FILM encoded sequence. I don't know why it would say that when I chose the template to encode it to ntsc. Unless you have to pick the FILM template in tmpgenc??? I didn't think so, but....
