using the TMPGEnc and Nero Trick

[dannyv5]

Greetings all,

I own the Panasonic dvd-rp56 dvd home player. I read in the dvd players compatability form under my model dvd player that SVCD's can be converted using the TMPGEnc and Nero Trick to allow the svcd to play on this unit. Here is a quote from the message I found.

"For those who don't know the TMPGEnc trick, it took me forever to find it, all you do is Multiplex the MPEG-2 video and MPEG-2 audio as a MPEG 1-Video CD, and then use Nero to burn it as a VCD with standard compliance turned off!"

Can someone better explain this to me or point me to a how-to or guide on this. I've used the dvd decryptor and flask programs to convert dvd to divx and have done some video capturing to mpeg and avi then converted these to vcd so I'm not totally clueless, but I don't quite get the above.

Thanks,
dannyv5

I take it you're trying to get an SVCD(MPEG-2) file to play on a DVD player that only supports VCD, and your player is one that will play MPEG-2 files but only with a VCD header. I don't know of an actual guide but it's explained here in a post to the DVD2SVCD forum and the poster is talking about using a bbMPEG.mpv file which is what DVD2SVCD uses to multiplex audio and video. The principal should work with any MPEG-2 file though. The thread is found here: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=16404&highlight=mpeg2+vcd

I believe the "Trick" is the same method as with Sony players. Look at this topic: http://forum.vcdhelp.com/viewtopic.php?t=93347&highlight=sony+dvd+players.
Good luck!

Pioneer AVX-p7300DVD plays them as well with simply mpeg2 audio/video in a Nero VCD template compliance turned off, heat in cd burner for several minutes stir and serve
