  1. When I try to Author VBR MPEG2 files created with Cinemacraft 2.5, I get a message saying that the bitrate is too high. I encoded these files with the following settings: min=300 avg=4500 max=7000. Why is Tmpgenc DVD saying that the bitrate is 9800?? Files encoded with CBR are fine.

  2. I get the same error. I think that CCE writes the max bitrate header info incorrectly.

    Does anyone know if there is a utility to correct it in the MPV file?

    I use CCE Basic and get the same error message. There is some explanation in the CCE users guide as to why they always write a max of 9800 regardless of the true max rate, which I don't fully understand. However, I just hit the ignore button and go. Works fine. I've probably done 40 to 50 DVDs thus far in this manner. Just an added click or 2.

  4. I thought about ignoring it, but I want my DVDs to be 100% compliant (or as near as possible), has anyone had any problems with DVD playback encoding with CCE?

  5. I've just been re-reading the CCE manual... quote: "During VBR operation, 9.8Mbps is always written to the sequence header regardless of the specified maximum bitrate". I think it would be safe to ignore... (and i'll RTFM next time ).

  6. Well.. i was wrong, i ignored it, authored the DVD (on a RW luckily), and it refused to work, it played fine on the PC though. Looks like ill be sticking with tmpgenc for the time being...
