HOW DO I CONVERT VCD FILES TO SVCD?

[i am x]

I have a movie that's split into 2 parts, and both parts are in VCD format. I tried demultiplexing them for use with DVD-Lab, and it won't accept them for authoring, even after they've been demultiplexed. How do I convert these files to SVCD so that I can then demultiplex them and author them with DVD-Lab? Any help would be appreciated!

Does your standalone player support dvdvcd? If it does you only need re-sample the audio from 44100 to 48000 to make them compliant. Any re-encoding of the video is going to lose you some quality. Check the dvd player reports on this site for your model.

The section in the guides VCD to DVD, wasnt helpful?

So you've got two VCD files you want to convert to 1 DVDR. No problem:

1) Generate MPG files. You can use VCDGear or the VCDEasy (VCDxRIP under tools). Do NOT just copy the dat file and rename it to mpg.

2) De-multiplex the MPG file to m1v (video) and mp2 (audio) files.

3) Re-encode audio to 48khz (you can do this from within TMPGenc or use BeSweet et.al. to generate ac3 if you want).

4) Load m1v and new audio file in DVD Lab, author.

5) Burn
