    Hello,

    I have just encoded a moive to MPEG 2 ready for burning to a DVD

    I am using TMPGEnc DVD Author to make the DVD.

    When i select the video file i get this error,



    How can i correct this ?

    Do i have to encode the file again ?

    Thanks

    It looks like you encoded to SVCD mpeg not DVD
    You should have encoded to a DVD compatable format in the first place.

    Encode the original file to DVD Mpeg2.

  3. as andyp mentioned, you'll need to reencode the file to DVD standards. Actually, it looks like you hit all of the errors. The ONLY other thing I could think of would be to try a patcher program and see if that fools TMPGENC DVD Author. To the best of my knowledge, I have never patched a SVCD and dumped it into TMPGENC DVD Author specifically, but you never know.

    Best bet is to reencode the thing over.

    Will just encode it again.

    I remember in the TMPGEnc it was set to encode to MPEG2, so it should be DVD standard.

    I dint use the wizard, i just set the options manually.

    Is there anyway to use the wizard put just encode the video ?

    Thanks

    There is more to DVD standard than just being MPEG2.

    Get Tmpgenc DVD Source Creator. It makes it really simple to get the files into the right format. You can get the free trial. I think it is also on sale right now since they are rolling out a new all-in-one product.

    No, it doesn't do anything you can't do with Tmpgenc. It's just easier to use and understand for those who don't do this a lot. I really like to use it to convert a whole bunch of clips of different formats to the same format in one simple process.
