I just downloaded a movie already in mpeg-2 format...i need a link to any sort of software where i can read the spec's about the movie because all i know is that the video resolution is in PAL format 480x576

Also do i need a special guide to put it on a cd because of the PAL format...

Plz someone write back

Assuming you have a file called xxxxxxx.mpg vcdgear can tell you the framesize and pal/ntsc

If you know for sure it is an SVCD in PAL then burn using Nero an SVCD in PAL format.

i dont know for sure, but i opened it up in wanamp, and it gave the resolution 480x576, i will try that program now...


thanks for the quick reply

Doesnt virtual dub do all that fo' ya? Im a newbie so im not sure. Just tryin' to help and learn.

No, Vdub wont load Mpeg 2 files....

Most authoring programs should show the structure when you drop in the mpeg, if there is anything wrong they should also tell you what it is.

However burning a downloaded SVCD straight to disk is asking for trouble, if you can use a CDR-W then fine, else you could end up with a scrapped disk. Not knowing if the mpeg has junk frames which could cause a glitch and set the audio out of sync.

I would at least stream it through TMPGEnc using the merge and cut, but using all of the movie, if there is anything very bad, it will crash

Well then i guess ill go download wanamp just in case. Seems like a good util to have :P

how do i use merge and cut?...

thanks for the replys ...

TMPGEnc

File > Mpeg tools > Merge & Cut
Change drop down arrow to MPEG-1 Video CD
ADD > select .mpg > edit

Adding just 1 .mpeg and clicking Run, will re-make the mpeg 1, if during this "streaming save" it hits an error, you will know about it. Either it will save the output up to the error, or crash
