How to get a MPG-1 of 2,29GB and 3 Hours on a DVD+R?

[rgosen]

Hello everyone,

This is my first post on DVDRHELP.com, where I want to post a Question about getting a MPG-1 file which I get from a 3 hours during VHS tape on a DVD+R so that I can play this on my stand-alone player.

I know that the video file is not that good quality, but it will do.

I would think this was possible but the most programs give an error says that the file is over 2GB and it will not continue.

What can I do to do this action without loss of quality?, and is it possible to make some menu with this action.

any help is welcome

Can't help if you do insist capturing. My irrelevant advise is Sell your capture card and buy a Setop DVD Recorder!

Is shall be good just to make your backup from the original tape , but How do you make any menu's and give some subtitles and music to your video ?

Because this will be my next step.


tnx anyway

Gosh! Pls ignore my above comments and go to the left and study for above 3 months and voila you will get there!

try VCD cutter and cut it into eqaul but smaller parts, or in tmpenc cut off 4 or 5 parts of it, then retry, considering it's just a plain old mpeg 1 file, then maybe the smaller files will work

Purchase a cheap DVD authoring program like Ulead's DVD Movie Factory or down load a trial version. I think it will take your MPEG-1 file and convert to MPEG-2 and allow you to burn to a DVD. You can have a menu if you want or not. If it will not eat the MPEG-1 file then you need to buy or download a demo of TMPGen. The demos work for about a month which is a good amount of time to learn about the tools. Use DVD+RW or DVD-RW as you can keep trying again and again. As always:

Play/Experiment
Learn
Enjoy

Welcome rgosen I'm confused if your not.

You need an encoder for this , the easiest to learn is probably TMPGenc Plus (30 day trial for Mpeg2 encoding) , this will take you Mpeg1 and using the wizard you can turn your mpeg1 into mpeg2 to fit onto a DVD-R.
(well it will create a video .m2v file and an audio .wav file) which you can use in TMPGenc DVD Author (30 day trial) to creat the VIDEO_TS folder which contains the .vob and other necessary files you need to then burn to a DVD-R with say Nero.

It is the length of your video which is important not the size of your AVI which matters. The length of the movie will determine the 'framerate' at which you wil encode your movie.

Have a look at the guides specifically for TMPGenc Plus and TMPGenc DVD Author.
