im testing out dvdlab for the first time. it wont let me import mpeg1 format. what i want to do is store alot of vcds on dvd media. So will it only accept svcd format? which is mpeg2 if im correct.

I think it only accepts MPEG-2 files, so your gonna have to find a way to get your vcd's to mpeg-2 standard. Try converting them to half-d1 size. I'm not sure how it will turn out.. I only have experience putting VCD files on CD not DVD.

You can use tmpgenc dvd author to import vcd mpg1 without re-encoding,tda will also resample the audio to 48khz at the same time.

well chobo, point of doing it mpeg1 is to save alot of space. plus source isnt super great to start with so doing mpeg2 is taking up more space than its worth.

but thanks though. i might just use TDA and do it w/o menus

DVD Lab will accept pretty much anything. If it is true VCD format, then it should also be compliant within the DVD spec, and DVD Lab will load it. Remember that just because it's mpeg-1 doesn't mean it's VCD compliant.

I had trouble with this too. Are they elementary streams or are you inputting the file as a multiplexed MPEG? I couldn't get it to do .m1v files but someone told me it would do the VCD file as is....

Wasnt multiplexed, because i dont know what that even means. What i did was convert 640x480avi to 720x480mpeg1 but changed audio to 48hz

I've made a few DVD-VCDs before with DVD-Lab. The MPEG1 files must be VCD compliant, otherwise you'll run into issues, and the audio must be 48Khz(DVD standard).

Also, try using the newest version of DVD-Lab if applicable.

720x480 mpeg1 is not standard
352 x 240 pixels MPEG1 (Same as the VCD Standard)

Niether of the resolutions you mentioned (640x480 or 720x480) are VCD compliant. For NTSC they should be 352x240.

I would also post in the DVD Labs forums at mediachance. There are a lot of very experience DVD Labs users there.

what i mean is make vcd quality mpeg1 videos and put them on dvd media. issue would be dvd compliant not vcd compliant.

You can fill the entire DVD with 352x240 mpeg1 files, if you want. DVDlab looks at 720x480 and sees that it is not mpeg2. Then it will not use it because it knows your DVD player cannot play it. It has to be 352x240 to be mpeg1 and compatible with DVD standard.
