Help with De-Multiplex in TMPG

[sealdive]

I'm tring to put a bunch of svcd's on to one DVD. After extracting the file with ISObuster M2F2 frames extraction, I pop it inot TPMG to to De-Multiplex, but for some reason it only works on 70% of the movie and the ntire film isn't encoded. Why is this happening? and is there an easy way to put 3-4 hours of SVCD video on a 4.7GB DVD?

Thanks for any help!

Patch the header of each mpg to NTSC/PAL resolution (depending on where you live) using DVDPatcher. I've been able to load a mix of VCD and SVCD's onto a single DVD-R without problems. No B.S. re-encoding or anything. The whole process takes all of .005 seconds per mpg. Now, will your DVD player play the disc.... Mine does them without a hitch -- even when I mix between PAL/NTSC SVCD's on the same DVD-R

As for extraction, use VCDEasy to extract off the disc back to mpg format. It has yet to fail me.

Thank you both for tthe reply, hilljack what program do you use to burn the files to disk. I have Ulead moviefacory 2 but it increases the size of the file so much (from 700mg to 1.6gb!) that I can't burn many on one disk. is there a program that dosn't inflate the file size as much?

Thanks agaim

Thats probably because it is converting the audio from mp2 in the input mpeg file, to PCM which is uncompressed. There should be a setting somewhere to tell it to use mp2 audio. Be careful though, some NTSC DVD players do not support mp2 audio.

I use TMPGEnc DVD Author to author my disc of patched mpgs, and then, as always, NERO 5.5 in UDF 1.02 mode to burn.

TMPGEnc DVD Author doesn't adjust the filesize(s) at all, provided the mpgs have atleast MP2 (which an SVCD most likely has), AC3 (which I use for my DVD's), or PCM (which I've never bothered with) audio. Has yet to fail me
