Need padding?...

[Thommers]

If you don't want to read something long, please skip to the bottom...

I had decided to try to make a motion menu on VCDEasy. So, I took a section of the movie I was working on (Jackass: The Movie) and turned it into a mpeg2 format (you can only use mpeg2 or avi in Adobe Premiere). I then put some text on it and put a few special effects on the text as well. I then exported that as a mpeg (and later as a mpeg2 as well) and put it into VCDEasy with the movie. When it scanned it through it said it needed padding. I ignored it and decided to try it on a CDRW. It finished and I put it into my DVD player and it was all screwed up. I tried with both mpeg and mpeg 2 formats. I then decided to take the mpeg2 and put it into DVD Movie Factory 2 and create a DVD image file from it. I then used ISOBuster and extracted the VOB files from the image file. I then used IFOEdit.94 and put the VOB file into it and followed the same procedure I would as if I were taken out commentary (I clicked the TMPGEnc option in hopes that it would solve the problem). I then put it through DVD2AVI and got my .d2v and .wav files. I put those files through TMPGEnc and made another mpeg2. I tried this mpeg2 in VCDEasy and the everything was good, except I still needed padding... I put the mpeg2 on my CDRW and tried it on my DVD player, but it didn't work again!

Does anyone know how to have "padding" (as referred to by in VCDEasy) done on a mpeg or mpeg2 file? I think that would solve my problem.

Thanks for the help.

The prob is that it's not multiplexed as SVCD mpeg - you must have muxed as program stream. Just multiplex with TMPGEnc MPEG tools as Super VideoCD, and VCDEasy will stop padding.
