Using TMPGEnc to create DVD from SVCD-Complaint MPEGs

[Merijeek]

Being desperate to get away from the Ulead stuff, which is giving such migraines I'm afraid I'll start peeing blood soon, I've been using the TMPGEnc suite of stuff.

Allright, here's what I did.

I've got some SVCD-complaint MPEGs of a TV show.

Add them into TMPGEnc DVD Author, create menus and all that. Create files to hard drive and then burn them.

I burned them to a DVD+RW because it was a test. I've tried 2 things, and here's what happened.

1: I put the DVD+RW into my DVD player. It comes up to the menu and looks great. I can play movies, and I can hit individual chapters. But no audio. Convinced that it must be something with my system, I insert another DVD, but I get noise.

2. I put the DVD+RW into my PC. I fire up Intervideo WINDVD and it works fine. That happens if I play it off of either the disk or the VIDEO_TS directory.

I checked it when it was in my DVD player, and when I hit the audio button, it told me it was MPG audio. Is that my problem?

The audio in the original mpeg needs resampling from 44.1khz to 48 khz to make it DVD compliant.

Can your DVD player normally handle MP2 audio? Many cannot, or need to be specifically set-up to do so.

TMPGEnc DVD Author will do this for you anyway

Hmm...let's see here.

Looking at the edit clip screen I see that my audio is MPEG-1 audio layer 2, 48000Hz stereo, 384kbps.

So, correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like the sampling rate is already fix, right?

That leaves the whole MPG/PCM thing. Is there a way to convert that in DVD Author, or do I need to do that through TMPGEnc?

If I do have to use Enc, how do I do that without (possibly) screwing up the settings?
