VCD on DVD

[SephirothEX]

I may be beating a dead horse here, so i will be brief. In reading your VCD on DVD tutorial I read the dismaying header which says this is not for converting from any other file type. So am I correct in assuming that this refers only to conversion from the DAT file and if I were to try to put VCD compatible MPEG 1 files on the DVD disk instead of a demultiplexed DAT file then I will not have the same results? I am trying to convert some files to vcd but I have a lot of episodes and I do not want to waste numerous cds when i can spend a couple of bux and buy one dvd to handle it. They are in AVI format and I was going to convert them to VCD MPEG 1. Sorry for not keeping it brief, and thanx for ne assistance

I don't understand the header on the guide. You will have no problem converting your videos to VCD and then burning them to DVD - regardless of the source.

First follow any of the TMPGEnc conversion guides on this site to create a standard VCD. However encode the audio at 48Khz rather than the default sampling frequency as this will avoid having to resample it later.

Once the encode is complete, burn to DVD following this guide.

I have encoded my episodes using a low resolution DVD template from TMPEG. It seems to be just wat you were advising in ur How to and as I have numerous files, I dont have to continue to set the files myself. I am following your Spruce Up guide and I will c wat happens. Thanx.

Still beating that horse(it jus wont die) I have followed your templates to the T and my files must have some thing wrong with them because I can not get SpruceUp or DVDIt to author a DVD Folder. This is very frustrating, I keep getting GOP header problems in DVDIt and after I fix that with a sequencer program, I get unknown error! Any suggestions?
