Burning miniDVD's with Nero...

[dougbryson]

Hi folks,

I've only just got myself kitted out with a CD Burner and TMPGEnc for creating MPEG2's on CDR discs and I'm still playing around trying to get the best quality.

I've succesfully created an MPEG1 VCD with Nero that plays perfectly on my Sony 335 DVD player but I'm interested in trying to get MPEG2 on a disc that will play.

My Sony deck will not accept SVCD but can I burn MPEG2 DVD quality onto a CDR that will play? I'm going to try the SpruceUp demo to see if that works, but can it be done with Nero? If so, what kind of disc should I create - an SVCD or mixed media or what?

I'd be grateful for any advice...

Doug.

About the only thing you're going to get to play in a Sony are the standard formats for VCD and DVD. Read the DVD Players Compatibility list and search for the player model you own. I advise you do it now before spending hours and hours creating something that won't play in the Sony -- then post days and days worth of "I'm frustrated" messages on VCDHelp.com

Thanks for the advice - I'm a sucker for punishment though, so I'll have a go and see if I can get something to work...

... and now, share with the group what you found?

You can't burn Mini-DVD but you can burn a non-standard MPEG2 file with DVD resolution.


I do that with assembled pictures.

Are you sure about that? Isn't the file structure and video files produced by a DVD authoring software burned to a DVD disc image then burned onto CD-R/W a miniDVD/cDVD?

If not, then I'm wondering that the freaking NSYNC disc is I have that was literally extracted from their DVD with SmartRipper, demuxed, audio recompressed to MP2, remuxed, fed into SpruceUp 1.1, reauthored and burned to a Verbatim 650mb CD-R is? (I know, why am I copying NSYNC stuff -- I'm obssessed)
