MPEG-2 SVCD File Splitting...

[xxmacabrexx]

Okay, I've already created my MPEG-2 file for my SVCD. I have it up to about 2.3Gigs in size, so it should fit on three 80Min CD-R's. I can't ever get TMPGENC to split the files out accurately enough without spending a good hour or more just adjusting the slider bar. Is there a peice of software out there that will allow me to just tell it what size to cut each MPEG file out to and let it run automatically???

Hi,
I don't know of any automatic software, but 2 optons come to mind if you want frame accurate edits -

1. Use the "input range" optiin TMPGenc when you are encoding your d2v file, this will let you choose exactly how much of the movie to put in a file (use a bitrate calculator to sort out what you can fit on your CD), or

2. Find a copy of M2Edit Pro, this will edit MPEG1 & 2 files (including VBR) and let you choose exactly the frame to cut at.

Of course, there are probably other answers out there

Demultiplex your file with TMPGEnc's mpeg tools (separate m2v file for video and mp2 for audio). Multiplex video and audio with bbmpg, SVCD checked and a max file size of 795 Mb ... 3 images for 80 minute CDs

I use Ulead media studio pro - i don't know if the trial version will do it or not, but it allows you to split it exactly where you want.. if it doesn't correspond with a keyframe, it will re-encode it and give you a keyframe. I use it for DVD video, but mpeg-2 is mpeg-2

I found the perfect solution... DVTool! It lets you split all kinds of video and multimedia files and you can shoose how many files you want it split into and the max size of each file. Definitely a handy tool because I usually end up making pretty large SVCD RIPS because my Apex AD-5131 will play video up to 5000Kbps!!!
