DivX-Svcd is the guide right? -Am I going mad? **FIXED!!**

[mors]

Hi, I'm new to the encoding scene, I have a divx at 23fps and I want to convert it to a svcd so I can watch it on my dvd player.
I went to the guides and found the right one for TMPGenc (http://www.vcdhelp.com/tmpgencsvcd.htm)
And I've now tried to do 3 times with no luck. It seems to encode fine but when it gets to my dvd player it plays about 3 seconds then hangs.
So I went back and looked at the guide to make sure I was doing every thing right, when I noticed the guide says:
'If the source is 29fps use ntsc, if it's 23fps use ntsc film, if it's 25fps use pal'
Now when I check out VCD, these numbers match up, BUT, when you click on the svcd options and even in the screen shot (http://www.vcdhelp.com/images/tmpgencsvcd1.png), when the NTSC FILM is selected, it says 29FPS??
Now is this me being stupid or do I need to convert the frame rate or something to get a svcd out of this divx I got??

Any ideas??

Cheers

Please also do NOT post same msg in several forums!

Have you only tried once? Maybe a bad burn?

[mors]

I've tried encoding and tweaked settings 3/4 times and burned coasters 5/6 times

[Baldrick]

Coasters? use cd-rw....

Does it work if you make svcd ntsc standard or pal?

[mors]

Btw, I posted the same topic once in one other forum because I noticed that it was probably more suited to be in there than here, and I also had had no joy. I apologise for repeating the post.

Unfortunatly my dvd player doesn't like cdrw's. It'll take virtualy anything else. I've tried both Pal and NTSC when burning - no joy. Is there any other decent burning software about for burning (s)vcd's just incase its Nero that is causing the problems??

Try author and burn with www.vcdeasy.org and are you sure your dvd player support svcd????

[mors]

Thanx for the link Baldrick-I'll take a look.
Yeah, I have about 10 other svcd's that play fine on it, all of these have been d/l as svcd tho, not me trying to re-encode to svcd, then burning.

[mors]

I've also noticed that there is no sound for this 3 seconds that is does play-when there should be.
I've tried burning the disc at 1x and 2x also.
Can anyone help me?

Thanx

NERO SUCKS!!
After all the messing about with TMPGenc, muxing/demux/muxing/demuxing crap, I install VCDEASY (quality!! ), force the aspi on it, burn, and it works first time. -It was Nero all along.
Never again will again will I use that crap.
Sorry to you lovers of Nero, but imho it SUCKS.
VCDEASY is just as easy and works first time-no messing -Try it!
