DVD Compatibility

[asprinwizard]

Hi There,

I have been using the Hauppauge DEC2000 freeview box to do DVD captures. Basically it is a normal set top box with a USB output to connect with the PC. You can use the capture program to make what I am told are DVD compliant captures.

Indeed I checked them in Virtual Dub and all seemed right. The video and audio settings looked fine. However I have been trying out TMPGEnc DVD Author program with a view to investing in a DVD Writer. It said that the files created by the DEC2000 were not compatible with MPEG 1 or 2. I'm sure this is incorrect but was a bit concerned. It seemed to have no such problem with a capture made from my Provideo PV-256 - a card that seems to specialise in non-standard captures.

I was therefore wondering if there is any program that will thoroughly analyse the file and let me know if it is compatible with the DVD standard.

If you encode it properly with TMPGEnc, it will work perfectly.
