What next?

[Super Noodles]

I have ripped a DivX file, and I now have a m2v file and a mp2 file + a composite mpeg. I want to end up with Audio_TS and Video_TS to burn on a dvd.

What do I do? Getting desperate now!

TOOLS tab, AUTHOR AS DVD (VIDEO_TS):
Author the mpg file as DVD. Resulting files are a folder named movie.mpg.DVD and a file named movie.mpg.img. To burn with Toast, either drop the .DVD folder in DVD tab, or the .img file in Disk image tab. To burn with Disk Image application, select the .img file. To preview the DVD with Apple DVD Player, select the .DVD folder. ffmpegX supports authoring of a single file into DVD. To author multiple movies into a DVD image, use Sizzle.

however.......... in the mean time if you cant get that to work.......
one real easy way (just gives you the movie with "sort of" chapters is to do this.......... (was written for SVCD to DVD but it will also work with yoru situation you are just already to the remux step) Chapters are made by breaking up the muxed mpeg file into how ever many chapters you want.
Let me know if you get stuck.

I also think Sizzle can do this, i just dont have a tutorial on it yet.


Step 1. Change AUDIO to 48Khz (optional)

APEX 5131 (and others) do not require the .mp2 to be converted from 44.1Khz to 48Khz, but some players might. If you want to, open your original .mpeg (the one you demuxed) where you can add a file to ffmpegx (at the top browse option) go to VIDEO and unclick ENCODE VIDEO. Change the CODEX to PASSTHROUGH (ffmpeg) and then go to AUDIO. Change the specs to match that of DVD (48Khz and 224kbs) Then click ENCODE. This will make a .mp2 that is at standard DVD frequency. This will put a .mp2 file in the directory of your mpeg files. (Find the .mp2 and rename it such that you can tell it’s the 48khz one!!!!)


Step 2. REMUX AS DVD
Go back to FFMPEGX, click on TOOLS and unclick DEMUX and click MUX AS making sure its DVD. Select the .m2v file with the video browse, and then select your .mp2 file with the audio browse. (if you did step 2, pick the 48Khz one) (if you did not do step 2, pick the 44Khz one). Click GO, not ENCODE. You will then get information on your movie and audio file. No percent done, but you the terminal will tell you when the process is complete. You now have a final .mpeg file that has the name .m2v.mpg Rename this to film1.mpg. Toss all of the temporary files .m2v and .mp2 also the source .mpeg file.


Step 3. REPEAT FOR OTHERS
Repeat as needed for all .mpeg files renaming to film2.mpg, film3.mpg and so on.


STEP 4. CREATE EMPTY VIDEO_TS FOLDER
Place this in the root of your HD. Such that its location is /VIDEO_TS


Step 5. IFOGEN (creation of the .vob files)

NOTE: always hit the space bar once after dragging any file into the terminal for this method!

Open your terminal app. Drag the ifogen file into the terminal, push space once. [Depending on its location you will get something like /users/username/desktop/ifogen or some derivate of that.] Next, type /VIDEO_TS with a space after S. Next, drag your film1.mpg into the terminal. Space. film2.mpg. Space and so on until you have them all in there. Typically 5 is max!


It will look something like this (mine are all located at root of HD)

/ifogen /VIDEO_TS /film1.mpg /film2.mpg /film3.mpg /film4.mpg /film5.mpg


hit return. Notice it will say “processing VIDEO_TS”



When this is complete, go to your HOME folder and locate the .vob and ifo/bup files. They may not be here (in which case they are in the VIDEO_TS folder you have at the root of your HD)



If you cant find them, do a search for (null) using Sherlock



Rename the files such that you replace (null) with VTS (null)_01.ifo à VTS_01.ifo and so on.



If they were not in the VIDEO_TS folder, put them there now.



Step 6. TOCGEN (creation of dvd standard VIDEO_TS.ifo/.bup)

Open the terminal, drag in the tocgen file. SPACE. type /VIDEO_TS return.

Looks like this (my tocgen is root in my HD. If somewhere else it will reflect its location in the terminal):



/tocgen /VIDEO_TS



This is instantaneous and you now have a complete VIDEO_TS folder for burning.



STEP 7. BURN DVD USING TOAST
Open TOAST TITANIUM, choose DVD from the OTHER menu.

Click NEW DVD, name it using DVD STANDARD NAMING (all capitals and _ for space) Example: MY_DVD

Add a new folder, rename it to AUDIO_TS

Drag your VIDEO_TS folder that’s in the root of your HD to toast.

Click BURN



That’s it.

Keep in mind this is just a quick fix. And though it does work, there are better ways. Im just now starting to fool around with sizzle, once i get it all figured out Ill type up a how to for it.

Supposedly you can do all this with sizzle.
The IFOGEN and TOCGEN files were pulled from the sizzle.app and are just manually used in my mehtod.

glad I could help
