MPEG1 to DVD-R Newbie Help Easiest Way!

[stevedave]

Is there anything out of the new apps, Toast 6, DVDstudio etc, that you can drag and drop in MPEG-1 to DVD? Or is there an easy way to do this.

I have a ton of MPEG-1 videos that I want to put onto DVD and can't seem to do this sucessfully.

Thanks in Advance!!

depends on audio settings for the .mpeg1.

dvd is 48khz standard, but some can handle the audio at 44khz (which is most likely what your mpeg1's are at). Ive got a tutorial thats real easy drag and drop in my webpage, but not all dvd players can handle those dvd's (mine can though so its nice and easy)

otherwise, you could always use Sizzle, Toast 6

might want to check the specs of your dvd player, standard is MPEG2 but i imagine most can play a mpeg1 file.

just try it and see what happens. For sizzle demux them and let sizzle built them into a disk image, then burn.

toast 6 you just drop them into the video tab and let it do its thing.

hope this helps ya some.

ffmpeg x (registered version) has a pretty simple way to do it too.
in the tools tab, select a folder full of your mpegs,
choose s/vcd>dvd
it demuxes, converts the audio and re-muxes then builds the dvd folders.
you drop the dvd folders into toast in dvd mode.

Although I haven't burned one yet, It does work in Apple's DVD player.
so I think it will work.

If you eventually opted to go the less easy way, stay away from DVD Studio Pro 2 for this task. Version 2 will re-encode your video to MPEG-2, whereas version 1 and 1.5 did not.

AntnyMD,

Really? that sucks. How did you discover that?.

I was actually planning on authoring an mpeg1 dvd in dvdsp 2 very soon.
luckily I kept dvdsp 1.52 on my machine.

its true... DVDSP2 DOES want to re-encode. it is stupid.
