Sony MPEG-VX and Soundforge

[scottymac]

I have a Sony DSC-P93 that records MPEG-VX (640x480 30fps MPEG-1 audio 32000mhz-mono).

In order for my DVD player (Philips 642) to recognize the files (it doesn't recognize this raw MPEG stream at all), I thought I had to convert them to a useable format, VCD or SVCD compliant files, but I don't.

I tried to re-write the header to a compliant VCD or SVCD with TMPEG but the file doesn't play. Plus if I import into Nero to burn, it wants to convert the file.

I tried to re-write the header to be an XVCD or XSVCD but it doesn't play either.

But, if I open the videofile in soundforge and then save as an SVCD compliant MPEG-2, it plays fine and imports fine into programs to create an SVCD. Plus there is no difference in quality. I do not think that soundforge is converting the videofile, but what is it doing?

My long winded question is, what is soundforge doing with my videofile?

Thanks.

isn't soundforge just a sound editor?

Soundforge may be rewriting the audio as compliant and/or correcting some header information.
