How do I control field order when encoding with tmpgenc?

[ddonnelly]

I want to use ULead MediaStudio to create a DVD-VR file starting with an MPEG-II file. If I create the MPEG-II file using MediaStudio, I can select it in the ULead DVD-VR wizard and convert it to DVD-VR format. If I create the MPEG-II file using tmpgenc, the DVD-VR wizard tells me that the MPEG file is not compatible. I have compared the MPEG files created with MediaStudio and tmpgenc and the only difference I can see is that the MediaStudio produced MPEG files are DVD-NTSC, Field Order A. The files I produce with tmpgenc are DVD-NTSC with no field order or DVD-NTSC, Field Order B. I don't know if this is the one and only characteristic that is making my MPEG file incompatible with the ULead DVD-VR wizard, but since I cannot find a way to control the field order in tmpgenc, I can't get past this possibility.

Anybody have any suggestions?

I don't know if it's related to field order, but DVDs I compile with TMPGEnc can not be opened by DVDShrink 3.0beta 5. I can open them in DVDShrink 2.3. If I use 2.3 and backup the files (no compression), then I can open the backed up files with 3.0beta 5.

If that is related to field order (and I don't know how to check), then it would solve your problem. Just create the files, then do a backup with Shrink 2.3
