Burning issues with audio freq...

[Mysti]

I've got 3 different movies, all that are svcd format already. Here's the problem, I load them up on nero and get the mpeg2 is not complaint because of freq of being 48000 Hz, 2 channels. Nero will rencode but then my 700 meg svcd ends up being too big and nero cancels the encode.

I cant use tmpgenc it wont open it.
Virtual dub wont open it, it says to use vcdgear.

I downloaded vcdgear but for the life of me i can not figure out this program.

My question is this, is there a burn program that will burn these at this freq or can someone please tell me how to get the freq to the right one?

What happened when you used VCDEasy?

turn off standard compliance when nero tells you that it isnt compliant. VCD/SVCD's like the 44.1 mhz. It may just not play on your dvd player. My friend tried it on his dvd player(dont know the name) and it skipped, etc. On mine it played fine (his played other vcd/svcd's just fine, same media brand, etc.).

in sorta answer of your real question (I reread your post and thought I may not have answered it) in vcdgear there is an option to go from .dat (which is what your VCD/SVCD has on it) to mpeg. Put the vcd in and locate the file (avi01seq.dat - or something close to that in one of the folders on the vcd) and choose to go to mpeg to your harddrive. After thats done. Open tmpgenc and reencode it at the lower audio rate.

Well, I'm not going to be much help, but I know it can be done. I burned 2 SVCD's this weekend using Nero and I had a 48 Khz audio source. I was doing a DVD Rip using DVD2SVCD and TMPGenc. These play back just fine on my Apex AD-1500, even though the audio is out of spec for SVCD.

From what I gather VCDXBuild is the program that built the .bin/.cue files using the 48Khz audio source. Then in Nero you can burn the .bin/.cue image to a CD. Unfortunately, I don't see VCDXBuild in the tools section at the left, and I don't know how to use it. (DVD2SVCD automates a lot of the work).

Of course you could always DEMUX, downsample the audio, then MUX, but I think there is an easier way. It also depends on if you want a 100% compliant SVCD or not.

Thanks for all your reply's.

In answer to tommy I just downloaded vcdeasy, but still trying to figure it out heh.

I'm burning it right now with nero by turning off compliance. We'll see how it goes.

Used vcdgear to take bin/cue to mpeg, when I first opened it in tmpenc it said there was a p3 error, then went back after I read the replys and tried again and oddly enough its encoding so we'll see how that goes heh.

~edit~

Burn is done with turning off compliance and it appeared to burn okay, sound is good. Im using a apex - ad1200 btw.

The only thing with using tmpenc to encode, I'm finding that I can't encode back to svcd its too big, but can encode to vcd alright

Hmm okay back to square one with tmpenc. I got the first cd to encode. So i went back to vcdgear did a bin/cue to mpeg. opened the mpeg in tmpenc got it all set up for vcd encoding, hit start and got this again...

Cannot open p3package.dll.


Any clue what this is? Still not sure what I did different with cd1 to make it encode.

~edit~ Heh I figured it out. I had made a shortcut to desktop and I guess it didnt like that. soon as I tried from opening it directly from the tmpenc folder it started encoding immediately.
