TMPGnc Author can't do 480x480 svcd

[ayed]

I downloaded the new prgm, it seems to work just fine on vcd to dvd. When I try to load my svcd files I get an error message which says 480x480 pixels is not acceptable for conversion. It just refuses to load them.

These files were created by Studio 8 which uses 480x480 as standard!??

How do I get around this?

Are you in the right forum?

[ayed]

Guess Not! Sorry, thought the title was generic. I'm doing what the title suggests, but not with that product.

mea culpa

Well whilst your here - you need to:
1. patch your mpegs to 352 horizontal resolution.
2. Author with TMPGEnc Author - to VIDEO_TS folder
3. Then repatch vobs to 480.
4. Burn VIDEO_TS folder

1 & 3 can be done manually(one at a time) using DVDPatcher or automatically(batched) using....... SVCD2DVDMPG!!!

Thanks for the tip.

My problems grow worse tho- I finally recaptured the digital master tape, and created a DVD mpeg, authored with Tmpg, burned with nero. I get great video, NO audio on my RCA standalone (it's there when played on my computer). I did follow the guide and burned using UDFISO ... I can move around the menus fine for the 3 videos, but no sound at all.

I should probably take all this the the other forum. I'm getting depressed.

Thanks

your audio is 48khz? is it ac3 or mpa? is your dvd pal or ntsc?

I'm ntsc, audio is 48, the file created is a vob ... demuxed it shows up as mp2 (not mpa). When I author the demuxed version it all ends up in the vob file like before.

Somebody suggested my RCA standalone can't handle vob, and I should try to find an author which does ac3. I'm trying to look into that.
