Lord of the Rings SVCD

[Wolf-Chylde]

Ok... third post about this, getting tired of wasting cds ... gonna stop now until someone gives me some good info...

I have lord of the rings svcd ... now when I try and burn either cd 1 or 3.. ( not 2 since Im not done it yet ) ... it wont work, in Nero it gives a invalid writestate, with more errors following. In fireburner it just sits there at synchronizing cache, and in cdrwin it stalls at leading out. So all of them dont work, then I go and try cd #4 on fireburner and it works the first time, and works perfect. My guess is the sizes are too big for the cds I have.. which are 700 mb/80 min cds. Though it does not make much sense why it wouldnt burn considering the movie is 45 min long for a 80 min cd. Yet the file size is 830 mb.... I know that when you turn it to a svcd type cd the file size goes down because of the information in the file.. but just my guess... If anyone else has had this problem or knows a way to bypass it , I would really like it if you posted, Thanks ahead of time ;)

Hi Wolf,
I had a similar problem (tho not with the lotr svcd)
My burner had an outdated firmware (Sony CRX100E rev10.m)

This limited my burning capabilites to 78:16 secs (or something close)
I flashed the firmware to 1.0n and it all works fine

I wasted loads of cds before I tried this avenue

Hope The Helps

I wasted 2 ACER 80min CDRs on the 1st LOTR file using CDRWIN and then I gave it up.

[stonecold]

Extract the files from the bins using winimage. Then use the mpeg2 file inside the svcd to make a NEW svcd using Nero. Should work this way.

nah stonecold it doenst work
yah i have tried everything with the lord of the rings svcd but wasted 10cd,s tried every way anyone said such as with nero burn the bin or burn the mpg but didnt work also treid cdrwin but no luck there either. maybe its our burners which wont burn. i wasted 12cd,s already golden hint is welcome :) o yeah couple of friends of mine burned it with cdrwin and it works man i burned it says complete but when i try too play it it wont even in my cpu. o yah 1 more thing i burned the sample with nero and that worked so it must be the mb thing and my cd writer who colapse. i have a hp plus 8100.

Check this site out:

http://www.ping.be/satcp/firmwares01.htm

This has firmware upgrades for Sony CRX100e and the HP 8100i

There are a few more as well, so have a look anyways

Hope that helps

[qwertyuiop]

so the writer stops the burning so i must upgrade it or what?

[qdos]

yes, if like mine it has a limit it needs to be patched

"HP 8100i/8110i firmware 1.0n

This firmware fixes the 78:16 minutes limitation so you can record up to 80 minutes on 80 minutes media. This is not an official firmware but a hacked version of the Sony CRX100E firmware 1.0n! It is reported to work correctly by many users. Use at your own risk, this may void warranty!"

Taken from http://www.ping.be/satcp/firmwares01.htm

As you can see you can only burn 78 mins, where as the images are 79...

i get this error when i whant too execute the exe i downloaded from your page: error could not find an HP SureStore CD Writer Plus Drive
what does this mean i surely know its the right cd writer

[qdos]

I dont have a HP SureWriter, so unfortunatly i dont know the answer, prahaps someone else knows..???

hmm strange

[qdos]

are you running from windows? if so you need to run from real dos mode

[buzz10]

I just had to make this observation: Why the hell are so many of you wasting discs and money by trying to burn onto CD-R's instead of using CD-RW's? I mean duh....get a clue people....test out your burn on a Rewritable CD first.

[qwertyuiop]

nope its a windows program qdos any other tips?

[qwertyuiop]

buzz10 i only got other cdrw not 80min so thats why :(

I am having the same problem. Wasted about 12 cds. Let's see, I paid 5 American cents apiece. 12 X 5 American cents = 70 American cents. Don't think I'm going to miss the truck payment this month.

[qwertyuiop]

what kinda burner you have?

[wmitch]

I really don't know. I looked in system devices and it is "LG CD-RW CED-8080B". I tried everthing on this site and nothing works. It looks like a valid SVCD in explorer but doesn't play on my PC DVD or on my stand alone.

[stonecold]

LOL is that new math? 12 x 5 =70? Something we americans should know?

There is a DVD-SVCD rip of LOTR floating around the alt.binaries.vcd newsgroup that is absolutely stunning. Much better than the centrophy VCD that was around a month ago. I am not a proponant of this stuff but when it came to LOTR I bent my own rules a bit.

The bin cue files burned fine for me using nero. This was after running the files through SmartPar. It is possibly one of the best DVD-SVCD rips I have ever seen. It's DVD quality. Really high end. Like I said, much better than the centrophy version.

[qwertyuiop]

yah i have that version too its great and plays great on my pc but i cant burn it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[disbud4u]

I am using Imation 8x4x32 and burnt it on Black Melody CDR with no problems at all, using and watching it already and I agree that the Quality Roxxx!!

I am running WinXP with Nero 5564 installed and I used the original cue/bin files to burn.

[vryc]

to NEXT,

I may be a complete tard :oops: but, how are you using SmartPAR to "compress"(?) the .BIN (?) file so that you can fit it on a 700MB (80Min) CDR/VCD? I'm interested to know as I'm having difficulty transfering these files to a movable medium

[next]

SmartPar doesn't shrink the bin file it cleans up any crc errors that can happen with uploads\downloads from newsgroups. The largest bin file of the 4 bins that make up the lotr svcd is about 825,000KB which burned fine on an 80 minute CDR using Nero.

[VincentVegaFFF]

This probably sounds really dumb but how/what do you use to go to alt.binaries.vcd?

This link may help. Check out the tutorials section.

Thanks. Is it up now though? It keeps saying "Host Not Found While Looking Up alt.binaries.vcd "

[insane_asylum13]

alright then.. I have a hint..... maybe if u try playing the whole movie on ur computer u may realize that there must be an error in it, and that is why when it tries loading up, it fails, just like a bad scratch on a cd. Try a mpg. or .avi fixer, or a repair program. (Check the tools section on this page) If this doesn't work try buring it a VCD or hell, even an XSVCD or XVCD because I had that problem too, but Lord of the Rings was a VCd rather than SVCD. So I turned off the compliance on Nero and it worked fine.9Oh yeh, i also repaired it) So give it a try
